The St. Paul Double is a strong, dark abbey beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle. Thanks to the dryhopping technique, which adds hops after fermentation, it has a rich and distinct sweet aroma of roasted malt. Full-bodied and a rich and complex flavour in a combination of sweet and bitter. In addition, the double has a soft, subtle aftertaste.

Bottle from a Carrefour in Ninove. Pours hazy dark brown with a lasting, big, beige head; little lacing. The aroma contains almond, plum, red grape or cranberry, candied orange, milk chocolate, toast, caramel, cinnamon, cookie dough. Medium malty sweet onset with hints of caramel, dough & plum, then light herbal bitter with a very light (berry-like) sour back. Dryish, herbal hoppy finish, slightly metallic, with a toasty effect and lingering malt. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Acceptable Dubbel.

Just let it warm.

Tummanruskea olut, hieman punertavaa mukana. Hiivapartikkeleja reilusti, leijailevat oluessa. Vaahto hyvin vaalean ruskea. Pieni kerros jää oluen pinnalle pidempään. Ei juuri pitsiä. Tuoksussa makeutta ja maltaita. Maku kermainen, karamellinen, "cappuccinomainen" häivähdyksellä kahvia ja suklaata. Suutuntuma voisi olla vielä järeämpikin. Ei isompaa jälkipuraisua. Toimiva dubbel ja yllättihän tämä positiivisesti, samoin kuin tripelkin.
