LA TRAPPE DUBBEL TRAPPIST ALE
After battling difficult corkscrew, reddish-browned bottle-fermented malt-sweetened ale resonates with floral yeast creaminess, peat malt earthiness, and lingered butterscotch sweetness. Roasted coffee, raisin, and cider illusions strike mid-palate before doughy bottom and cork-like finish secure ideality.

Luxurious dry burgundy-like Belgian dubbel pleats spicy citric sweetness with dry earthen dankness, securing tofutti dessert profile.

Sugar plum, bruised banana, coriander, fig, date, anise, and ginger illusions pep up medicinal candied cherry finish of beige-headed red-wined elixir. Suitably fruity, moderately creamy, and always elegant. Barleywine fanatics will be pleased. On tap, sharper hop spritz envelops mustier dried fruited affluence.
