Belgian Dubbel 8 º

Deca Brouwerij

This Belgian Dubbel presents a complex sensory profile defined by its deep reddish-brown hue and a sophisticated interplay of malt and yeast. The aroma is rich with notes of toasted cookies, gingerbread, and deep caramel, accented by vibrant fruity esters of ripe apples and dark berries. On the palate, a malty richness prevails, offering layers of raisins and dried fruit that balance against subtle peppery phenols and a light, refreshing acidity. Despite its 8% strength, the beer maintains a smooth, medium-full body and a moderately dry finish, further enlivened by high carbonation and a fine-beaded texture characteristic of bottle conditioning.

Appearance. Clear, dark reddish-copper color with attractive depth. It is topped with a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white head that provides persistent lacing.

Aroma. Moderately strong intensity featuring a rich malt character of toasted bread, caramel, and gingerbread spice. Prominent fruity esters evoke ripe apples, plums, and red fruit, complemented by low peppery phenols and a soft, perfumy alcohol note.

Taste. Initial malty sweetness with flavors of caramelized sugar and biscuit. Mid-palate complexity includes raisins and dried fruit, supported by subtle spicy phenols and a hint of tartness. Low herbal hop bitterness allows the malt to remain prominent. Finishes moderately dry with a lingering malty and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. High carbonation provides a lively mouthfeel. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth without being hot or solventy.
