Originally a blend of Kapittel Pater and Kapittel Prior, now an original recipe.
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

33 cl bottle. - Dark brown. Heavy caramel and roasted malts, sweet but not cloying. Fruity and slightly earthy, with notes of redcurrants. But it’s the distinct coffee flavour that makes this Dubbel stand out from the mass of competitors. Quite bitter finish. - Characterful dubbel, one of my favourite Belgian beers.

På Grand Place i Brussel med Kitty,hvor vi tester de tre danske basisrefleksene (røv til bænk, flaske til mund og pant til kiosk): gode saker med smak av rips og solbær. Ikke så søt som stilen gjerne tilsier og derfor velfungerende en varm julikveld.

33 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 28.10.2010
Aroma has brown sugar, some ripe fruits and hints of orange peel. Flavour is slightly sweet with dark fruits, roasted notes, some brown sugar and hints of spices. A typical dubbel – but not in a bad way.

Bottle on the Eurostar back to London with Leighton and James (thanks Leighton). It pours deep red-brown, with a thick beige head. The nose is sweet caramel, various dark fruit, wood and booze. The taste is caramel, sweet dark fruit, alcohol warmth, dust and wood, with a very dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not great, a bit 1D.
