The Trappist Monks know how to tu rn a beer into a Sacrament. Belgian Dubbels are brown ales harking back to the pre-industrial era, before blond ales were known. It wascustomary for an Abbot to offer hospitality to pilgrims visiting his monastery, in an age where it could be lethal to drink the water. Monks would serve a brown ale much likethis beer to tired travellers to refresh and sustain them, only drinking it themselves on special feast days. Our beer is “double strength”, as opposed to table beers, that would be drunk all day. A mellow combination of chocolate and biscuit flavours, balanced with a generous handful of noble hops and rounded off with a famous estery Wallonian Abbey yeast, makes for an almost too easy drinking beer. Mon Dieu! Be careful, it’s stronger than it seems. Food pairing: On feast days, Hearty soups, Stoofvlees, game dishes, strong hard cheeses. Rich fruit cake, port. On fasting days, just another glass. Pours dark brown with creamy head. Hop bitterness to the fore with malty roasty balance and the abbey yeast transporting us to another time and place. Matches refectory tables and Gregorian chants.
