Westmalle Dubbel

Top 10 Sipping Beers

Westmalle Dubbel Belgium Trappist Ale

BELGIAN TRAPPIST ALE

Westmalle Dubbel

Of the six Trappist monasteries still brewing beer in Belgium, "Our Lady of the Sacred Heart" in the town of Westmalle is the icon of the "Abbey" style. The "Dubbel" is loaded with dried fruit and toasty malt aromas. Its creamy froth embraces the palate and offers sweet flavors of buttered raisin toast and crème brûlée. Rich yet modest in alcohol, this beer represents the culmination of centuries of tradition. The rare Trappist beers of Westmalle are a chance to taste the medieval past in the modern day.

Price: $6 (11.2 oz.)
