Brouwerij St. Bernardus • West Flanders Belgium
The "sixer" of the St. Bernardus abbey range. A classic Belgian dubbel with soft dark fruit, caramel and gentle yeasty spice, remarkably drinkable for its depth.
Rich, malty and dark, with notes of dark fruit, caramel, plum, with a balanced, moreish finish.
Serve at 10-14°C in a chalice to maintain a generous head and let the aromas bloom.
