Belgian Dubbel 8 º 24 IBU

Duvel Moortgat

This classic Belgian Dubbel presents a striking deep burgundy hue under a dense, creamy tan head. The sensory journey begins with an expressive bouquet of rich caramel and toasted malts, accented by delicate floral notes and ripe dark fruits like raisins and plums. On the palate, a soft initial sweetness unfolds into complex layers of milk chocolate and subtle roasted coffee, characteristic of its monastery heritage. Despite the 8% ABV, the alcohol is masterfully integrated, providing a gentle warmth that complements the medium-full body. A lively carbonation lifts the malt weight, leading to a remarkably balanced and clean finish.

Appearance. Deep burgundy to dark copper with brilliant clarity; features a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white to light tan head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with a dominant rich, bready malt and caramelized sugar foundation; moderate esters of dark fruit (raisin, plum) and ripe banana; subtle floral and peppery phenols provide complexity.

Taste. Initial sweet impression of caramel and toffee followed by mid-palate notes of milk chocolate and a hint of roasted coffee; low herbal hop bitterness; yeast-driven dark fruit and spicy phenols lead to a moderately dry, clean finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture; high carbonation creates a prickly, effervescent sensation; noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth without harshness.
