Westmalle Dubbel is a revered Belgian ale produced by the Trappist monks at Westmalle Abbey, one of only 11 recognised Trappist breweries in the world. Founded in 1794, Westmalle Abbey has been brewing beers since 1836, adhering to the strict standards of the Trappist tradition, which require the beer to be brewed within monastery walls by or under the supervision of the monks. The proceeds from beer sales are used to maintain the abbey and to support charitable works, ensuring that every sip of Westmalle Dubbel not only brings pleasure but also contributes to a worthy cause.

Brewery History:

Westmalle Abbey is located in the Westmalle region of Belgium and has a long and storied brewing history. The brewery is renowned for its strict adherence to quality and tradition, producing only a few select beers, each crafted with care and precision. The abbey's Dubbel was first brewed in 1856 and is considered one of the earliest examples of the dubbel style, a dark and strong ale that has since become a hallmark of Belgian brewing. Westmalle's commitment to excellence is evident in every bottle of Dubbel, a beer that continues to win awards and accolades around the world.

Tasting Notes:

  • Appearance: Westmalle Dubbel pours a deep mahogany colour with a frothy, off-white head that leaves a delicate lacing on the glass.

  • Aroma: The nose is rich and inviting, with notes of dark fruit, particularly figs, raisins, and plums. These are complemented by hints of caramel, brown sugar, and a mild yeast spiciness.

  • Flavour: On the palate, Westmalle Dubbel delivers a complex interplay of flavours. The sweet malt backbone brings forward caramel and toffee notes, which are balanced by the fruity esters from the yeast. Dark fruit flavours, including dates and prunes, are followed by a mild bitterness and a hint of chocolate. The yeast adds a touch of spice, enhancing the beer's overall complexity.

  • Mouthfeel: The beer has a medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation keeps it refreshing, while the slightly dry finish leaves a lingering warmth from the 7% ABV.

Food Pairings:

Westmalle Dubbel is a versatile beer that pairs well with a variety of foods. Here are some recommended pairings:

  • Roast Meats and Game: The rich maltiness of the Dubbel complements the robust flavours of roast beef, lamb, or venison. The fruity undertones also balance the savoury richness of the meat, while the beer’s dry finish helps to cleanse the palate.

  • Hearty Stews and Casseroles: Enjoy Westmalle Dubbel with traditional Belgian stews like carbonade flamande or beef bourguignon. The caramelised flavours in the stew mirror the caramel and toffee notes in the beer, creating a harmonious pairing.

  • Cheese: Pair this beer with a selection of strong cheeses, such as aged Gouda or blue cheese. The sweetness of the beer contrasts beautifully with the sharpness of the cheese, enhancing both the beer and the cheese's flavours.

  • Desserts: For a sweet treat, try pairing Westmalle Dubbel with a dark chocolate tart or a spiced fruit cake. The beer’s fruity and caramel notes complement the dessert’s sweetness, while the mild bitterness balances out the richness of the chocolate.

Westmalle Dubbel is an iconic Trappist beer that exemplifies the best of Belgian brewing. Its rich, complex flavours and smooth drinkability make it a favourite among beer enthusiasts worldwide. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a meal, Westmalle Dubbel offers a truly unique and satisfying drinking experience. As a Trappist beer, it also carries the legacy of centuries-old monastic brewing traditions, with every sip offering a taste of history.
