Belgian Ale BELGIAN ALE

Aroma: Rich malt aromas are typical; many dubbels have raisiny and other fruity ester aromas. No roasted malt aroma. Some higher alcohol
aromas (peppery, spicy) are common. Mild to moderate clove-spice aromas may be present. Hop aroma is faint to none. No diacetyl.
Appearance: Dark amber-brown in color. Clarity is usually fair to good. Head retention may be adversely affected by alcohol content in
stronger versions.
Flavor: Rich malty and fruity flavors bring the balance toward malt throughout. Some commercial examples are malty, yet dry; raisin flavors
are common. A slight to moderate clove spiciness may be present. Hop flavor is low to none. No diacetyl.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full to full body. Warming mouthfeel from alcohol.
Overall Impression: A dark, rich, malty, moderately strong ale.
History: Originated at monasteries in the Middle Ages, and was revived in the mid-1800s after the Napoleonic era.
Comments: By Belgian law, to be called a Trappist Ale, it must be brewed at a Trappist monastery. Home brewed and secular equivalents
should be called abbey ales.
Ruddy-brown color with a soft malt finish and yeast fruitiness.
Includes: 7 lbs. Light and Amber DME, 1/2 lb. Chocolate malt, 1/2 lb. Caravienne, 2 oz. Styrian Golding hop pellets, and liquid Belgian Ale yeast. Approx alc. 5.0% a.b.v.
