Until the confiscation of the copper from the Westmalle brewery by the Germans, a dubbel bruin was produced. After the construction of a new brewery in 1933, the term "Trappistenbier" was registered with a more refined and slightly stronger recipe than what is currently the Westmalle Dubbel.
Westmalle Dubbel
Beer with Trappist designation of origin, 7.0% alcohol, top-fermented and with second fermentation in the bottle.
The
Westmalle Dubbel is a dark beer, made with natural groundwater, roasted malt, proprietary yeast, hops, and brown candi sugar. It has a fruity and caramelized aroma, a pronounced palate of roasted malt and some sweetness, releasing its character at the end, when the second fermentation and the different types of hops used assert its robust personality.
The
Westmalle Dubbel is the best example of a beer that calls for an appetizer to accompany it, when the best appetizer is itself... Our recommendations for appetizers are toasted bread with ham or fresh cheese, and for meals it pairs very well with small game meat (partridge or pheasant) and with rabbit or stew.
