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

Bottle. Pours a dark amber/brown with a decent beige head. Aroma of caramel, approaching cola. Medium body with sturdy carbonation. Flavor indeed suggests cola. It’s dark caramel without a lot of bitter. This one is more sweet than not. Finishes that way. Still a good beer though.

Bottle: Sweet bready-caramelly nose with a distinctive sweet fruity background, hazy, foxy-amber coloured, fluffy, slowly diminishing and lacy off-white head; moderate to solid sweet flavour, medium bodied, soft MF; sweet bready and fruity finish. Pleasant night-cap........

Bottle, pours dark brown with a tall tan head. Aromas of dark malt and burnt sugar. The mouth is creamy and flows through several wonderful flavors. Sweet crystal malt, carmel, and a light bitter hop finish round out this great dubbel. I like it.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden amber with a diminishing tan head. Caramel malt and yeasty-fruity aroma. Classic caramel malt flavoured beer, shows a distinct yeast note which carries both a light fruit accent but also a light metallic edge. Smooth mouthfeel and a fullbodied alcohol feel. Ends with a solid caramel and fruity mix and warming alcohol feel.
