Vulcaan Mammoet from Vlaardingse Bierbrouwerij is a dubbel that stands apart through its restrained sweetness and spiced character. This dark reddish-brown beer is brewed with cinnamon, coriander seed, liquorice, star anise and orange, creating a layered flavour profile. Cascade and Saaz hops provide a pleasant bitterness that tempers the malt sweetness.

In the glass, it presents a full dark reddish-brown colour topped with a lasting beige head. The aroma shows red fruit, grape and spice. The palate delivers red berries, caramel and a spiced finish, with notes of rye bread and liquorice root. A warming, full-bodied character makes this beer a natural pairing for hearty fare.
