Corsendonk Dark Dubbel

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown with amber highlights, holding a dense tan head that clings persistently to the glass in fine lacing. The beer presents with excellent clarity and deliberate carbonation that sustains throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramelised malt sweetness, followed by toasted bread crust and subtle licorice undertones. A gentle coffee note emerges on closer inspection, underpinned by the malt's gentle warmth—restrained rather than aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with soft caramel and bready malt, developing into toasted grain and roasted coffee notes through the mid-palate. Bitterness integrates smoothly at 25 IBU, providing structure without harshness, while a dry backbone emerges toward the swallow with faint spice and residual malt character.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length finish with lingering coffee and toast notes that gradually fade into dry malt. The aftertaste remains clean and slightly warming from the alcohol.
