Gulden Draak if you want complexity and heat,
Three Taverns A Night in Brussels if you want restraint and drinkability.
Both hit 22 IBU but Gulden Draak's 10.5% ABV brings serious warming alcohol notes and darker fruit depth—it demands your attention. A Night in Brussels sits easier at 8.5%, letting you taste the Belgian yeast character without the boozy punch.

Gulden Draak
Gulden Draak lands heavy and deliberate. There's dark fruit—raisin, fig—right up front, then a peppery spice kicks in from the yeast. The alcohol shows itself warmly on the finish, almost brandy-like. It's built for sipping slowly, not rushing through.
Three Taverns A Night in Brussels
A Night in Brussels is smoother and more approachable. You get that classic dubbel earthiness—bread crust, a hint of plum—without the alcohol heat dominating. The finish is clean and slightly sweet, which makes you want another sip immediately.
