Belgian Dubbel 7 º

Sion Kloosterbier

This monastic-style Belgian Dubbel presents a classic profile defined by patience and traditional ingredients. Pouring a deep ruby red with a creamy, light-colored head, the sensory experience begins with an inviting aroma of rich caramel and subtle chocolate. On the palate, a gentle sweetness is balanced by a restrained bitterness, allowing complex dark fruit notes and spicy yeast esters to shine. True to the style, the finish is moderately dry, punctuated by a delicate touch of roasted malt that lingers pleasantly. At 7% ABV, it provides a well-integrated, smooth warmth, embodying the depth and character of a time-honored abbey ale.

Appearance. Deep ruby red to copper color (10-17 SRM). Generally clear with a large, dense, and long-lasting creamy off-white head that leaves persistent lacing.

Aroma. Moderately strong, rich malty intensity featuring prominent notes of caramel, toasted bread, and a hint of chocolate. Moderate esters suggest dark raisins and plums, complemented by low peppery phenols and a soft, perfumy alcohol presence. Hop aroma is absent.

Taste. Initial malt richness leads with caramel and light chocolate flavors. Medium-low bitterness ensures the malt remains the focal point, though the beer finishes moderately dry. Yeast-derived complexity provides dark fruit esters and a subtle spicy phenol character. A very subtle roasted malt note appears in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. High carbonation provides a lively mouth-filling sensation. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated, with no astringency.
