    I'd say this one, but there are so many I want to try.

    Westvleteren 8. I'm one of those weirdos that prefers it to the 12.

    Ommegang makes lovely doubles. I really enjoyed valar morgulis although abbey ale is brightly wonderful!

    If you enjoy dubbels - give dark weizenbocks a shot. I know they're totally different, but I find the flavor profiles line up.

    Any barrel aged dubbel made by Russian River or The Alchemist. I'll only buy it though if I had to wait in line for more than 2 hours.

    Chimay Red is my favorite of the few dubbels I've had.

    Westvleteren 8 is probably the best dubbel out there.

    Of the more attainable ones, Westmalle Dubbel is outstanding, and St. Bernardus Prior 8 isn't far behind. Both are fantastic choices. Try 'em out if you get a chance.

    Came in here to say that this is my favorite Dubbel as well. Second favorite is New Belgium Abbey. I really didn't care for St. Bernardus dubbels.

    LOVE Grimbergen Dubbel. Probably the first beer that really got me into craft.
