The name is derived from a farm in Belgium by the same name. The story is that a small group of Trappist monks were on their way to Canada to start an Abbey but when they were in Belgium a land owner offered them a piece of land to establish on instead. This farm was named Nooit Rust which translates to "Never Rest" in Dutch. The name highlights how these monks never stopped working in their religious pursuit as well as their now world-renowned ales. That farm is now Westmalle Abbey. We changed the translation to "No Rest" for the purposes of this label. The spiral-like visual on the label represents the ongoing hard work we at Proc also put into making delicious beers.

Canned 7/29/22. “Prost!” stamped on the bottom of the can
It’s so refreshing to see a brewery taking on the task of brewing a Dubbel. Perhaps for Proclamation it really isn’t all that surprising given their track record, but it’s nice to see regardless. Let’s find out what their take is on this classic Belgian style
Pours a slightly cloudy brownish orange with a finger of beige head that quickly fades to a ring and leaves minimal lacing
The nose is standard fare but still very nice. I’m picking up on aromas of brown sugar, raisin, sweet honey, dark bread, clove, burnt caramel, black cherry, and light molasses
The fruit is still present in taste, but definitely much less so than the nose. On the front end of the sip I’m tasting sweet toffee, burnt sugar, raisin, nutmeg, dark bread, and light clove. The swallow brings notes of clove, dark bread, overripe banana, brown sugar, burnt caramel, light nutmeg, and raisin
A medium body pairs with moderate carbonation, resulting in a slick beer. Finishes slightly sticky but does not impede drinkability. However, it is surprisingly boozy for the abv
This is certainly good stuff, but it doesn’t really compare to the big dogs of the style. Even still, it’s nice that they gave it a shot
