NEW!
From Westmalle Abbey, Belgium
WESTMALLE DUBBEL TRAPPIST ALE
11.2 oz & 25.4 oz
Westmalle Dubbel (ABV 7%) is a dark, reddish amber-brown Trappist ale with a secondary fermentation in the bottle. The creamy head has the caramel fragrance of special malt and leaves an attractive lace pattern in the glass. The flavor is rich, balanced and complex: herby, fruity and deeply malty with a long, dry, fresh-bitter finish that hints at tropical fruit. A classic Belgian Dubbel. The beer matures differently in the larger bottles, developing a subtler aftertaste.

Trappist Beer
Of all the beers in the world, only seven of them can use the name "Trappist": Achel, Chimay, La Trappe, Orval, Rochefort, Westvleteren and Westmalle. You can recognize them from the "Authentic Trappist Product" logo.
A Trappist beer is only given this name if it satisfies a number of strict criteria:
The beer is brewed within the walls of a Trappist abbey, by the monks themselves or under their supervision.
The brewery must be controlled by the monastery and have a business culture compatible with the monastic project.
The purpose of the brewery is not to make a profit. The income takes care of the livelihood of the monks and the upkeep of the abbey site. What is left over is used for charitable purposes, social work and people in need.
The Trappist breweries produce beers of an impeccable quality that is permanently controlled.
Trappist breweries strictly observe all standards in the areas of safety, health and consumer information. And the style of communication and advertising is one of honesty, austerity and the modesty appropriate to the religious environment in which the beers are brewed.
Westmalle Abbey (Abbey of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart): Westmalle, Belgium
The Trappist Abbey of Westmalle or
Abdij van Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van het Heilig Hart
(Abbey of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart), which belongs to the Cistercians of Strict Observance (Trappists), is located in Westmalle, in the province of Antwerp, Belgium. The abbey is famous for its spiritual life and its brewery, which is one of few Trappist breweries in the world. The three pillars of life in the Trappist monastery are prayer, community and work.
In 1791 in the aftermath of the French Revolution, Augustinus de Lestrange Dubosc, the novice master of La Trappe Abbey, left France where monastic life had been prohibited, and went to Switzerland, settling in the empty Carthusian monastery of Val-Sainte. As the Swiss limited the number of monks to 21, and the refugees from France kept flowing in, Lestrange decided to send monks abroad to create new settlements. Eight of these were invited by the Bishop of Antwerp to found a new Trappist monastery at Westmalle, in 1794. Despite setbacks during the early 19th century, caused by war and political suppression, Westmalle survived, eventually being elevated from a priory to an abbey in 1836.
Trappist regulations allow the monks to drink the popular local beverage with their meals (besides water), which in Flanders is beer. In order not to have to buy beer, they decided to brew it themselves. In 1836 the abbot Martinus Dom constructed a small brewery, and in December of that year the monks served their first brew of Trappist beer at lunch. During the 19th century Westmalle continued to grow and to nurture daughter houses, including Achel Abbey.
During the 20th century the abbey and its monks survived the two World Wars. A new brewery was built and the production of Trappist cheese was begun with milk from the abbey's own cows. Today the Trappist abbey of Westmalle remains a remarkable element in the village of Westmalle and continues to produce beer and cheese with an emphasis on high quality and good working conditions for their workers. The monks at Westmalle are responsible for their own livelihood. In contrast to other breweries, making a profit is not their objective. Hence they spend what is left over on charitable work, helping people in need.
