Belgian Dubbel 7.2 º 24.2 IBU

Portus Blendium

This Belgian Dubbel offers a complex sensory experience, weaving the traditional richness of a monastic ale with unique botanical elements. A deep copper hue leads to a fragrant bouquet where the prominent addition of heather honey and heather flowers creates a distinctive floral and herbal perfume. The palate is defined by a sophisticated blend of four malts providing toasted bread and caramelized sugar notes, balanced by a firm bitterness from three hop varieties. Subtle dark fruit esters of plum and raisin emerge alongside the lingering, earthy sweetness of the heather honey, resulting in a round, characterful finish that belies its 7.2% ABV.

Appearance. Dark copper to deep reddish-amber with good clarity. Features a large, dense, and long-lasting off-white creamy head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Rich malty base of toasted grain and caramel. Distinctive floral and herbal notes from heather flowers and a sweet, earthy honey character. Moderate dark fruit esters like raisins and dried plums, accompanied by subtle peppery phenols. Low spicy hop presence.

Taste. Initial impression is malty-sweet and floral. Rich toasted malt and caramel flavors are joined by a unique, lingering heather honey sweetness. Moderate bitterness provides a clean counterpoint, balancing the four-malt backbone. Dark fruit esters and light spicy phenols add complexity. Finishes moderately dry with a persistent, intense aftertaste of heather and earthy honey.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively prickle on the tongue. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth that never becomes hot.
