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

Bottled, redbrownish, with a beige/brown longlasting head. Smelled like plum and berries along with some soapish hints. Flavour was sweet plummy with caramellish hints. It got a bit bitter once it got warmer, with different sweet flavour becoming more present.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark brown with a fine, stable head. Some roasted, caramellish notes but still with an almost tobacco-like dryness. Notes of both licorice, chocolate and perhaps even...coffee? Lovely not too sweet Dubbel. 221097 and 170598

Hazy red ruby, almost cherry color. Huge brown head, lots of lace. Roasted aroma with hints of some herbal tones. Medium to full-bodied, crisp, fruity and malty. Alcohol kicks in the start and gives very sharp mouthfeel. Bitter aftertaste. A bit out of balance abbey dubbel.

Gushing to huge brown-yellow head, leaving good lace; brown ale with clear reddish shine. Nose with brown bread, touch of chocolate, roasted - and mint (the herb). Rather bitter, typical Leroy walnutpeel taste, coffeedrab, pungent. Underneath some sweet malt and even sugar. There are raisins and raw pipetobacco too. Dark chocolate in the finish. Rather well-bodied. Long bitterish aftertaste. It’s not bad - it’s this horrible Leroy - coffee taste that initially spoils so much. Once acclimatised, it’s too far gone...

The aroma is quite sweet with notes of yeast, prunes, and raisins. The color is an opaque deep red and it has a beutiful lasting light brown head. The flavor is also very sweet with notes of brown suger, yeast, prunes, raisins, and hints of wood. The end is dry from hops but also with hints of coriander and coffee bitterness. Compared to the strength the mouthfeel is a little thin.

Dark amber color; giant creamy head; beautiful lace. Common aroma for a Dubbel, with some malt and caramel, and some carbonic gas nose. Pleasant taste, with some sweetness to balance the classic caramel. Ends with a delicate touch of roasted malt, light fruitness, light aromatic hop. A good example.

A bit fizzy flowery and fruity (lemons) aroma. Looks mostly ok, amber brown, thick creamy head, a bit more carbonation than expected. Malty, fruity (a lot of lemons again) some dusty yeast notes. Too much golden ale, too little trapiste - not really true to style. Fizzy thin and sodalike mouthfeel, unexpectedly fresh.
