Belgian Dubbel and Quadrupel
Belgian Dubbel and Quadrupel fit well into the dark and rich category because of their malty, full character. A Dubbel often has flavors of caramel, dark fruit, and spices. A Quadrupel is generally more powerful and fuller-bodied, with more warmth and complexity.

Porter, stout, and roasted flavors
