Bottle for 3.20 euro @ Kaapse in Rotterdam.
Standard dubbel appearance.
Muted aroma. Maybe hints of dark fruit and beet sugar. Caramelization.
Taste follows the aroma. Unremarkable, muted, reticent, shallow. A hint of chocolate malt on the finish combined with some overly heavy caramelization gives it too much sweetness. Bread dough.
Mouthfeel is unremarkable as well. Smooth, wet, medium-bodied, well-carbonated.
Overall, it's a forgettable shallow dubbel. The dark fruit character is inadequate and packs no punch. Drinkable and enjoyable for what it is, but I can't see this competing with La Trappe's dubbel in terms of The Netherlands' market alone; bring Belgian competitors into the fold and why even bother with this?
That said, it's still easily better than most attempts at the style (especially American attempts). They nailed the caramelized beet sugar-like flavour that is at the core of the dubbel style.
