In 1856 the monks of Westmalle stared brewing a dark Trappist beer along with their regular table beer. The recipe of this was modified to make heavier in 1926 and this is the foundation of today's Dubbel.

Westmalle Dubbel benefits from secondary fermentation in the bottle and the 750ml bottles mature differently to the regular 300ml bottles.

Caramel, estery alcohol, French stick crust malt and mocha coffee.

High alcohol level adds bite to burnt toasty malty palate with yeasty bitter chocolate.

Bitter finish is reminiscent of a bitter chocolate amaretto.
