the beers of FUTENMA: Westmalle Trappist Dubbel

Getting back to the Trappists I have the Westmalle Trappist dubbel. I quite enjoyed the last Westmalle and am looking forward to this one, especially being a brown beer. This was the first Trappist beer to use the name dubbel, other than that it doesn't have allot of back story that I didn't cover when I reviewed their triple.

Enough talk, lets get down to brass tacks. The bottle looks the same as the triple, except with a purple label. I'll be using the same Westmalle goblet as I did in the previous post (the Westmalle, not the Orion). From the bottle, it has the malt nose you expect from any brown beer, now to pour.

It has a very thin head, allot of small bits of yeast floating in it, like sand stuck to the glass. Not a very lively beer, the head mostly dissipated and there are small sporadic colonies of bubbles thru out the beer. Nose is the same as it is from the bottle. On first sip, this is the most caramel beer I've ever had. Mouthfeel wise it is a slightly upper middle bodied beer and only mildly acidic. It's somewhat fruity now, kind of a raisin taste. Alcohol is 7%, which I think is perfect.

Listening to Radio Moscow-Magical Dirt right now. I've never done drugs (I'm interesting enough, thank you very much), but I've always had a thing for stoner rock, its one of my go-to genres. If you have an appreciation for classic rock but think allot of the 60's stuff is too hippie, the 70's to played out, and the 80's a little too metal, modern stoner rock may be the thing for you. It's got Fuzz, Funk, Heavy metal, rock and roll, blues rock and psychedelic all rolled up into one style.
I've suddenly run out of this one. Not quite as good as the triple, but it is a good beer, if suddenly and sadly running out tells you anything. I give it my blurry seal of approval
