Style and Colour: Brown double Trappist. One of the best Trappists in the very limited circle of Trappist beers
Taste: Notes of caramel, malt and fruit esters that evoke ripe banana.
Alcohol: 7 % ABV
Drinking Temperature: 12 - 14° C
Fermentation: Westmalle Double is a high fermentation beer with in-bottle re-fermentation.
The Brewery: The brewing of beer for the monks’ own use commenced in 1856 in Abbay Westmalle. In 1933 the ‘Trappistenbier’ name was trademarked. Only beers made by monks in an Abbaye can take the name "Trappist".
Origin: In addition to their table beer, the Westmalle monks have been brewing a dark Trappist beer since 1856. The recipe for this beer was adapted in 1926. The new beer, stronger, contains twice as much raw material. This is where the name'double' comes from. The 1926 recipe is still the basis of the Westmalle Double today.
Food: Perfect with grilled meat and chocolate and coffee desserts.

A Staple Dubbel
This is a very pleasing trappist dubbel. Beer lovers should try this beer. People who don't like beer should try this beer. Caramel, creamy, fruity, smokey, with a decent subtlety to respect the flavors.
