Beige large thick and creamy head. reddish brown color. Aroma is malty, sweet, fruity, slightly roasty with candy sugar and apricot notes and a touch of spices. Flavor is malty too with floral (roses) and hoppy notes, ending in a balanced slightly acidic finish. Medium to full bodied. I bought this bottle directly at the very small Brasserie in Binche, beautiful place.

Bottled. Dark red brown with a good fluffy white head, spicy aroma, hints of orange, citrus, flavor has some roasted malt and bitterness notes. The mouthfeel is mostly roasted malt.

4/1/12 (no joke!). 750mL bottle... one of the very few beers left at my work that I haven’t had before. Slightly hazy brown pour with a nice brown head that fades to a film but lasts forever and laces a ton. Fruity, estery aroma hits first with touches of sour and plenty of maltiness with a touch of caramel and roast. Malty, roasty flavor with touches of caramel and then a big spicy yeast hit with lingering fruitiness. A bit thin and light, but the alcohol is hidden well. Not bad.

Bottle, labeled La Binchoise Brune 7.7%, with a best-by date of 22/04/10 -- most likely way past it’s prime. Pours a dark cloudy brown with a beige head. Smells of lighter fruits, and metal, with quite some hay and bready yeast. Tastes pretty awesome; a medium sweetness with spices reminiscent of a cinnamon cookie, and some mildly tart fruitiness. Medium bodied. Light carbonation. Ends abruptly, with a sugary finish.

UPDATED: DEC 14, 2011 THIS IS A RATING OF A DIFFERENT BEER : La Binchoise Brune 7.7% 33cl bottle. Pours a dark red with a huge tanned head. Nose : Burned toast, some fruit notes like plums. Deeper I recognize a coffee notes. Sip : Smooth with a decent carbonation. Starts sweet then changes into a sour coffee like ending. In the meantime, it’s a really well balanced with spices like clove and cinnamon for example. It’s a bit peppery too. Put apart the multitude of ingredients its easy to drink. Almost refreshing ...
