Westmalle Trappist Ale is a renowned beer brewed by the Trappist monks at Westmalle Abbey in Belgium. Established in 1836, it is one of the original Trappist breweries, known for its commitment to traditional brewing methods and high-quality ingredients. The ale is characterized by its rich flavor, with a balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness. There are two main varieties of Westmalle Trappist Ale: Westmalle Dubbel and Westmalle Tripel. The Dubbel is dark and malty, featuring notes of caramel and dark fruit, while the Tripel is a golden, stronger ale with a fruity and spicy profile. Both are highly regarded in the craft beer community.
