St. Paul Double

The St. Paul Double is a strong, dark abbey beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle. Thanks to the dryhopping technique, which adds hops after fermentation, it has a rich and distinct sweet aroma of roasted malt. Full-bodied and a rich and complex flavour in a combination of sweet and bitter. In addition, the double has a soft, subtle aftertaste.

3.9 Virkelig en god øl, med masser af fylde og velsmag. Tilpas med sødme og bitterhed.

3.7 Pours dark ruby with a decent tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and tobacco. Taste is slightly sweet, and moderately tart. There are notes of cherries, candy, caramel, some tobacco and roasted malt. Light bodied with plenty of carbonation. A bit of complexity, but flavours are fairly mild. Makes for a tasty, sessionable 7%.

As the ale gets warmer this note fades out. Medium body. Lively carbo. Moderately sweet taste. Tastes pretty similar to how it smells. Well-tasting. Yeasty spice and some hops at finish. Really good. Just let it warm.

3.7 Tummanruskea olut, hieman punertavaa mukana. Hiivapartikkeleja reilusti, leijailevat oluessa. Vaahto hyvin vaalean ruskea. Pieni kerros jää oluen pinnalle pidempään. Ei juuri pitsiä. Tuoksussa makeutta ja maltaita. Maku kermainen, karamellinen, "cappuccinomainen" häivähdyksellä kahvia ja suklaata. Suutuntuma voisi olla vielä järeämpikin. Ei isompaa jälkipuraisua. Toimiva dubbel ja yllättihän tämä positiivisesti, samoin kuin tripelkin.

1.3 Droog smakeloos bier. Weinig spannends, geen pit, weinig karakter. Net spa rood........

2.7 330 ml bottle at Central Bierhaus. Clear deep ruby mahogany with a thin tan head. Tight nose with some tangy fruitiness, lightly metallic, a little bread crust, faint dark dried fruit. Medium+ body with full, velvety carbonation. A like more than the nose, but still a restrained beer, a little dark dried fruit and brown sugar, a little bright fruitiness, light esters; fairly dry with low bitterness and a kinda vague malty finish. Weak.

4.5 Bottle at beerbistro. Raisins and caramel in the aroma and taste. Lovely lacing. Dryish finish.

3.4 Dark brown colour, with red relections to the light. Small off white head taht leaves ring and lace. Aroma of dark fruits, raisins, cloves, coriander,, chocolate. Medium body and carbonation, I would like a thicker palate on this one. Taste of cloves, raisins, chocolate, sweet but a touch of bitterness. Good, but it could be a bit soft.

3.3 Dark brown beer, medium to small tan head. Nose is yeast, chocolate, toasty malt notes. Flavor is semi-dry with sugary sweetness, roasty-fruity notes with malt, caramel. Sweet and dry-ish finish with warm alcohol notes. Pretty nice balance.

4.9 Bière double refermentée, que le brasseur qualifie à la fois d’abbaye et de spéciale. Elle titre à 6,9 % abv. Mon exemplaire à date en septembre 15 était encore dans les bouteilles classiques, et non celles à bascule comme sur le site. Couleur brun roux magnifique. Clarté nette. Bulles fines partout. Mousse beige bien constituée, qui reste en nappage. Arômes de malt cara, candi, cassonade, miel d’acacia, pointe de café doux. 1ère bouche structurée douce sur du caramel, café, pointe de chicorée. Arrière-bouche maltée sucrée, qui rappelle les bières de table de l’enfance. 2ème à la très belle structure malt et cassonade. Arrière-bouche douce comme un duvet de canard. 3ème avec la douceur d’un malt légèrement torréfié. Arrière-bouche agréable. La longueur reste sur la tonalité, certes sans complexité, mais avec un agrément constant. Les jambes sont marquées, longues. La levure est de caractère, un peu muscadée. L’alcool est bien pour le genre, bon soutien dans l’ensemble. La finale est de texture douce. CONCLUSION : une bière pleine de souvenir d’enfance, qui est simple, mais développe cette simplicité avec beaucoup de goût. Bière à l’opposé d’une bière savante, mais néanmoins très belle. La beauté est parfois dans la simplicité ...
