I thought "brune" meant "brown" but this is the least brown brune I’ve seen. Pours more like a standard hazy honey orange colour with a medium size fine bubbled lasting white head. Aroma is spicey wheat grainy beer like, celeriac, yeast and sweet floral and raw alcohol as it warms. Palate is soft, mouth filling, with a lot of effervescence released on the tongue without feeling all that crisp. Flavour is medium sweet honey and breakfast cereral like grainy malt, followed by a short burst of bitter hops on teh side of the mouth before back to mild sweet lacklustre finish

Bottle..... It pours dark amber with a small white head..... The aroma is sweet, malt and raisins.... The flavor is malty, caramel, alcohol, bit metallic and spices... medium body....

Bottle from Asao. Aroma is green apples, caramel and slight chocolate, bread. Rather pedestrian. Rather pale brown with orange tint and a thick, low head. Sweet, somewht confused flavor, carmel, chocolate, apples, spice. Too sweet and rather plain. Drinkable.    

33cl bottle, tulip glass. Pours a dark ruby brown, with a medium white head. Subtle aroma of caramel malt and spices. Tastes of sweet red cherries and caramel malt. Medium-bodied, medium carbonation. Tasty, but nothing special.

Bottle. Cloudy ruby brown with a beige head. The aroma and taste is spicy, hoppy with some coffee and chocolate notes. Sweet and, full bodied.

Lovely dark brown color with a little red shining through. Not a nice smell and poor taste. Mouthfeel is pretty decent.

February 2010 - my 330ml bottle shared with blankboy and garthicus. Cloudy reddish-amber with a lot of floaties; small off-white head. Sweet caramel and spice aroma, quite yeasty - but pretty "Belgian brown generic" and dry. The taste followed - sweet caramel, spicy, yeasty, a bit boozy - ehhh. Thin, slick, stingingly carbonated - not bad, pretty unmemorable.

Dark brown cloudy, awesome holding white head. Sweet yeasty aroma. Rich, sweet brown malt taste. Average beer bite. Sweet lingering finish.
