Konings Hoeven

[Omegaman13]

Just tried this brew, a Konings Hoeven Dubbel. I've only had one trappist style before this and it was Chimay Quadruple. I was expecting this one to be a downplayed version of that, but I was surprised to find that it was super sweet. This is probably the only beer I've had so far that was this sweet on the finish. Has a smell of almost molasses. There was so much going on in it that I couldn't even get any hits on the notes of flavor because the bottle was gone by then. Has a 1 finger ivory head that never goes away and a murky a amber/onyx color.

One of the best beers I've had in a while. Really starting to enjoy trappist style beers.

You found a real keeper! IMHO, Koenig's Hoeven's (or La Trappe if you find an old bottle) best beer is the Dubbel. It is a truly great beer, its real character will be much more appreciable if you allow the beer to warm to its proper serving temp ~45-52 degF.

Cheers

koeningshoeven and LeTrappe are the same place, they just had to change the name in the US due to patent/trademark issues.

Kind of like Busch/Scaldis.

everywhere else those beers are called LeTrappe/Scaldis except for her.

The Koeningshoeven Quadruple is fantastic@
