This Belgian Dubbel is true to the classic dark ale perfected by Belgian monks wanting to brew a beer that had plenty of fortitude. With its prominent plum and raisin notes and characteristic caramel sweetness from candied sugar, this double-barrelled flavour sensation brings divine inspiration to Godzone.
Taste: Rich complex malt characters, caramel sweetness with spicy phenolics, notes of dark chocolate.
Look: Light mahogany
Aroma: Sweet, dark candy aroma with spicy Belgium esters & phenolics
