Dominus Vobiscum Double

◎ Aussehen

A deep mahogany hue dominates the glass, with excellent clarity revealing the beer's full saturation of dark malt character. The head forms densely and maintains good retention, clinging to the glass walls in fine lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is moderate, producing a slow cascade of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dark dried fruit—plum and raisin—layered beneath a soft mocha undertone and hints of liquorice. Spice emerges on closer inspection, bringing gentle pepper and warming herbal notes characteristic of the abbey tradition. Subtle sweetness underlies the entire bouquet without becoming cloying.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is rich and immediate, with toffee and candied fruit flavours expanding across the palate. The body is thick and unctuous, coating the mouth with layers of dark malt complexity and a soft coffee note that integrates seamlessly. Bitterness is minimal—barely perceptible—allowing the malt sweetness and spice to command the mid-palate without astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends long and warming, carried by candied fruit and residual sweetness that maintains its malt richness throughout. A gentle alcohol warmth emerges without harshness, settling into a smooth fade.

Serviertemperatur 10–12°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Das breite Mundstück und der schwere Fuß fördern die Schaumbildung und leiten reiche Aromatik zur Nase. Traditionell für belgische Starkbiere.
