Brewed with loads of malt and Belgian yeast, Pere Jacques is a wonderfully fruity, malty ale. Pere Jacques’ complex flavors stand shoulder to shoulder with the Belgian Dubbels enjoyed in the world’s finest beer bars. At the dining table it’s the perfect alternative to a glass of vintage port.

Despite the twist-off cap, it's showed little oxidation. Instead, pours a deep brown, with just a few bubbles. Sweet malt smell with a bit of brown sugar. Nice, deep malt taste, still a slight edge of bitterness. Alcohol has just a bit of a burn. Does lack the extra sweetness of a usual dubbel, but that makes it easier to manage. Layer of sediment at the bottom of the bottle is not easily dislodged by mere swirling.
