Dubbel·Belgium·6.6% ABV·One of 51 Dubbels in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Ename Dubbel's caramel and fruity character. Ename Dubbel is one of the two beers that started the Ename range in 1990, created alongside an archaeological project at the site of the old Benedictine abbey near Oudenaarde. The dark ale is refermented in the bottle. Caramel and sweet fruit lead the nose, with roasted malt behind them. The body is full and rounded, with coffee and dark chocolate notes, a gentle spice and a bitter hop edge, and it finishes dry.
