{"product_id":"dear-abbey-belgian-dubbel","title":"Dear Abbey (Belgian Dubbel)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs a means of raising funds some Belgian Monasteries commission commercial brewers to make beers for them or license their names and they generally offer the same styles of beers as produced by the Trappist Monasteries. These beers are identified as Abbey Beers. These beers are known for the malt complexity and fruity esters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrappist is a protected legal appellation, and cannot be used commercially except by genuine Trappist monasteries that brew their own beer. However, we can use it to describe the type or styles of beer produced by those breweries and those who make beers of a similar style. Trappist type beers are all characterized by very high attenuation, high carbonation through bottle conditioning, and interesting (and often aggressive) yeast character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComplex, rich-sweet malty aroma, possibly with hints of chocolate, caramel and\/or toast (but never roasted or burnt aromas). Moderate fruity esters (usually including raisins and plums, sometimes also dried cherries). Esters sometimes include banana or apple. Spicy phenols and higher alcohols are common (may include light clove and spice, peppery, rose-like and\/or perfumy notes). Spicy qualities can be moderate to very low. Alcohol, if present, is soft and never hot or solventy. Low to no spicy, herbal, or floral hop aroma, typically absent. The malt is most prominent in the balance with esters and a touch of alcohol in support, blending together for a harmonious presentation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBacchus Batches have been developed, tweaked, and argued over for the last 40 years.
