This Belgian Dubbel, crafted as a tribute to the Brussels Expo 58, presents a sophisticated monastic profile centered on malt complexity. It leads with an inviting sensory bouquet of toasted grain and caramelized sugar, interwoven with yeast-driven esters of dark raisins and plums. The palate echoes these rich, bready flavors, complemented by subtle peppery phenols that add depth without overwhelming the malt-forward balance. Despite its perceived sweetness, the finish remains surprisingly dry and clean. The overall experience is one of refined elegance, where the continental hop presence is minimal, allowing the interplay of specialized sugars and traditional yeast to define its character.
Appearance.Deep copper to dark amber with attractive reddish depths; generally clear with a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white head.
Aroma.Moderate to moderately strong intensity featuring rich toasted malt and caramelized sugar. Pronounced dark fruit esters of raisins and plums are present, supported by low peppery phenols and a very low, almost imperceptible herbal hop note.
Taste.Initial malty richness with flavors of toast and dark dried fruits. Medium-low bitterness allows the malt to remain prominent, while yeast esters and subtle spicy phenols provide complexity. The finish is moderately dry with a lingering malty aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth texture; medium-high carbonation creates a lively mouthfeel. Features a very low, well-integrated alcohol warmth without any harshness.
