Westmalle Dubbel

Woah. Trappist beer. Westmalle is one of seven Trappist breweries in the world.
It was quite good alongside a simple Cauliflower salad with vinaigrette and dried chile.

graphic: Golden chestnut color, foamy, light brown head, with irregular bubbles.

feel: not as carbonated as most dubbels, coats the mouth, but not cloyingly so

smell: green apples and grapes on the nose, malty overtones with cinnamon and cardamom

taste: some of the fresh fruitiness remains and pleasantly cuts through the burnt smokey caramel and dried fruit that dominate the palate. Long pleasantly dry finish.
