From the brewery's website:
In our brewing process for the 7,5° dubbel we use extra winter malt .
This increase in malt results in a higher alcohol content, so the yeast that feeds on the sugars in the malt is given a feast of greater proportions.
By adding sugar, also known as “Belgian candy,” we can increase the activity of the yeast, and the beer gets a second fermentation in the bottle, carbonating the beer in a natural way.
This gives the beer a beautiful and large froth.
This fine Dubbel has a rich malt aroma of malt, yeast, dark fruit, & spice; flavors of sweet malt, yeast, caramel, dark fruit, raisons, and spice, with a faint touch of pleasant bitterness, and it fills up the gap between our 6° Pater and the 9° Prior

Bottle at home. Aroma of malt, caramel, raisins, dark fruits, some roasted notes, some chocolate. Flavour is sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Body is medium. Surprisingly rich and tasty Dubbel.
Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a very very dark brown with a reddish hue and a huge thick foamy beige head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, plums, cherries, caramel and brown bread. Taste has more of the fruits described in the aroma with added fruity notes of red berries, apples and some blackcurrant. Also some vinous notes leading to a slightly tart finish. Nicely balanced. Medium body with a light spritzy mouthfeel. A touch too tart for my personal preference but still a good and very well made beer.
