Brewed to an old monastic recipe by Little Valley Brewery in Hebden Bridge, this dark, Trappist-style beer is full-bodied with a taste of rich fruit and malt. Bottle conditioned to ‘dubbel’ strength.
Working closely with Wim van der Spek, head brewer at Little Valley Brewery in Hebden bridge, the monks of Ampleforth have once again begun to sell ‘La Biere Anglaise’. Following extensive research, Wim has paired modern brewing techniques with the fragments of information available to produce Ampleforth Abbey Dubbel – a beer as rich in history as it is in flavour.

330ml bottle from Tesco - Deep red brown body, tan head... gone. Rather dull nose of coffee and cake fruits, bit of booze there. Flat mouthfeel, a bit syrupy at the end, more coffee and booze in the taste. It’s okay, but I’ve had much better Dubbels.

Bottle from Uncle Tel who got it from I know not where. Reddish-brown pour with a beige head. Aromas of sweet spice, berries and toffee. Flavours of baked apple, sweet spice and a little chocolate. Quite a dry number. Quite nice.
