Dubbel is a beer style that originated in Belgium and is known for its rich and complex characteristics. It is a medium to full-bodied ale with a deep amber to brown color. Dubbels typically exhibit a combination of malty sweetness and a mild to moderate bitterness. They have a prominent malt backbone with flavors of caramel, toffee, and toasted bread, often accompanied by dark fruit notes such as raisins, plums, and figs.The yeast used in the fermentation process plays a crucial role in the flavor profile of dubbels, imparting spicy and fruity notes that add depth and complexity. These beers are usually moderately carbonated and have a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. Despite their higher alcohol content, ranging from 6% to 8%, dubbels are well-balanced and approachable.
