The multi generational traditionalists at Belgium’s Brouwerij De Brabandere are delivering a spectacular masterclass in dark malt depth with their award-winning Petrus Dubbel. Masterfully engineered using six distinct specialty malts, this traditional abbey style dark ale completely honors old-world heritage. It pours a striking, deep mahogany chestnut brown with a rich, velvety khaki head that releases beautiful, intricate lacing. On the nose, it hits you with a highly comforting, complex aromatic payload of dark caramel, rich toffee, and toasted nuts, backed by a subtle kiss of coffee and dark chocolate. The palate is beautifully medium-to-full bodied and luscious, layering sweet brown sugar, stewed raisins, and ripe plums over a rounded, smooth malt foundation. Finishes remarkably clean and balanced with a gentle, dry yeast spiciness and zero heavy, cloying weight. It is an exceptional, warming drop built beautifully for winter stews or a fine dark chocolate dessert.
