Today I sampled Westmalle Dubbel, another trappist creation. In my opinion this isn't all that special. I think my palate is finally starting to adjust to the high standards of the Belgian beer scene, and as such beers that outside of Belgium would be considered amazing are now for me merely mediocre. I won't say this is undrinkable, only that from the cornucopia of incredible belgian beers, this is the slightly overripe grape that tumbles out.HINTS:
- 7% abv is respectable without leaving you sleeping on a sidewalk
- pours a murky brown and the head settles down to a thin line rapidly
- the flavor for me is mild, almost bland
- I rate this a low 3.0 of 7 on my "Beers of God" scale.
