Brewed By:
Corsendonk
Self-Defined Style:
Belgian Abbey Dubbel Brewed with all natural ingredients, including Caramel, Pilsen and Munich barley malts, and Saaz, Kent and Hallertau hops. Beer authority Michael Jackson describes Corsendonk® Abbey Brown Ale as "A strong, Burgundy-colored ale in the style of the classic Trappist brews of Belgium. Has a very distinctive bouquet: yeasty, fruity and slightly smoky. In palate, it has notes of port, raisins and black chocolate. Matures greatly with age, becoming softer, smoother and deeper in palate. Ideally, should be stored for at least a year, and could mature for at least five."
Best With:
A rich, silky smooth beer that is a grand accompaniment to red meat, pasta and game dishes, and contrasts nicely with spicy sausage, smoked meats, veal and grilled seafood. Enjoy its malty richness after dinner with nutty cheeses or in a sabayon (zabaglione). Best served at 55°F. 
Comments
dubbel vs. tripel
Surprisingly I loved the Dubbel much more than the Tripel on this beer. The Tripel was cloyingly sweet and left little malt taste to enjoy.
