Beers similar to Achel Dubbel

Dubbel·Belgium·8% ABV·One of 38 Dubbels in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Achel Dubbel's caramel and dark-fruity character. Dark brown with complex aromas: a hint of caramel and darker fruit run through a creamy body that is nothing too heavy. Soft water does the work here, no tricks needed. This 8.0% dubbel is brewed at De Achelse Kluis in Hamont-Achel, an abbey whose story starts in 1686, when Petrus van Eijatten bought the parsonage and its grounds and founded a community of brothers.
