BLAM notes that Westmalle dubbel has "dark malt for 'aroma'" in addition to caramel malt. It doesn't specify any further but Candy Syrup Inc. has in its clone recipe--using its products of course--Dingemans Mout Roost 900 which is a chocolate malt. Their clone recipes have positive reviews and probably not far off the mark. I'd suspect the recipe has a little more choc malt than what you would use for color adjustment. The Candy Syrup recipe has chocolate malt around 3.5%.

BLAM lists, on Page 34, the recipe for Achel Extra Bruin. That recipe explicitly states chocolate malt. The Westmalle comment hints at it, but some have said in discussion that it may refer to Debittered black malt. The CS recipe, with it's use of the D-90 syrup, may be getting chocolate notes from the syrup and not the malt. That clone is on my list.

 Good call. About 4 hrs from now it will, along with a brew.   ;D

Google Play Books means I never have to be without my sweet BLAM.

It's such a good book. You really get a feel for the culture and why they do what they do. And there is a ton of information in there if you know what your looking for. Pretty incredible.

Actually now that I think of it my BLAM is not at my house because I let my friends, former Trappist monks, borrow it. I'm sure its happy.
