Geschichte
A Trappist ale tradition dating to medieval monastic brewing, formalized in Belgian abbeys in the 20th century. The name 'dubbel' (double) refers to a historical strength designation. Westmalle Dubbel (in its current form since the 1920s) is considered the archetype. Chimay Red is another defining example.
