Dark copper color, subtle and smooth flavor, with emphais on that classic Belgian profile of banana and cloves, maybe some plum and chocolate. Sweet. A thing of beauty.

Pours a dark brown with a large, fizzy light coloured head that does not fully go away. Smells wonderfully of carmally apple cider. Tastes almost the same, but with a light beer undertone. Very sweet and satisfying!

Bottle. This beer formed a large sized head with fine-small sized bubbles that completely dissipated. The body was ruddy/murky and carbonated with an orange-brownish hue. The nose was malty, caramel, spicy, alcohol notes and vinegar. The flavor was absolutely delicious...malty, caramel, spicy, alcohol, sweet, and fruity. The mouthfeel was very smooth and this was a medium-full bodied beer with sparse lacing. A perfect beer for the dinner that thedm and I enjoyed and a good beer on a snowy and icy day.

A very worthy dubbel. Rich yet mellow, well balanced. A slight currant taste to it. I have a great taste for almost all of the Von Steenberge products. Unlike some on this page I think these are some of the finest craft beers in the world.

This bottled brew poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized light brown colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a poor lace and a hazy carbonated brown colored body. The aroma was very nice with notes of brown beer malt and caramel malts. THe mouthfeel was also very nice with t atingly feeling and a lingering flavor of mildly vinuous caramel malts. This fine brew is well balanced. It is a beer to love and cherish. More please. And my last sip even came through with a beer shiver! The DM's seal of apporval!

It is a shame this beer is not more highly rated. It is an exceptionally unique beer and very well-crafter. It has a bit of a fruity nose and after-taste and is just a load of fun to drink. I’ll definitely put this on my repeat list.

Bornem may be the recipe for Corsendonk Brown. Bornem is quite good, but be sure to keep the sediment out of the glass.
