Brunehaut Abbaye de Saint-Martin Brune

Near black colored with red hints, little beige head. Rich suragy and plummy aroma with some herbal touch, some interesting berry-vinous touch also here. Thin alcohol comes up too. Medium bodied. Flavor is more licoricy with same plummy-sugary tone, thin roastiness also here. Aftertaste is sweet still with only slight alcohol.

Dark brown cloudiness in the body with a big tan head. Great lacing. Lots of spice, smoke, yeast, and raisins in the smell. Taste was the same with notes of nuts and butter. High carbonation. Fun beer to drink.

Muddy brown with a nice fizzy head. Aroma of dark dried fruit dominates. Flavor is classic sweet fruits and malt with a little smokiness in there. Nice refreshing fizzy mouth feel.

Brown coloured beer with medium off-white head and lots of carbonation. Malty hoppy aroma. Full creamy palate. Finish is rasted biter though soft fnish. Ok.

Dark brown colour. Thin head quickly disappears. Some caramel in the aroma. Body is thin and quite watery but produces lots of carbonation akin to a fizzy drink. Caramel sweetness with a bit of clove and liquorice in the back.

Bottle. A real gusher, I had to move pretty quickly to avoid wearing half the bottle. Pours dark chocolatey brown with a tan head that was gone in seconds. Aroma is chocolate/toffee and malt with hints of pepper and dried fruit. Flavour had quite a bit going on with malt, sultana, cranberry, nuts and liquorice all vying for attention. Not overly sweet either. A pretty good dubbell.
