3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a thick, dark brown color with a nice, fluffy off-white head. Aromas of spice, yeast, and bread immediately on pour. Medium bodied. Has the cardinal signatures of a Trappist Ale, analogous, to say, St. Bernardus 6 or 8. Warm finish. A bit of an alcoholic burn. Filling and nice.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours nice, good amount of almost white head with medium creamyness. Medium retention. Dark brown with a red hue when held up to the light. More Fragrant than most, but less than some. Banana, ripe fruit, sweetness and mild pepper all mix together for a complex aroma. Lots of the same characteristics that are true to style. Moutfeel is light. Flavor is slightly washed out in this one. It has a nice breadyness, with gumdrop flavors. Semi sweet finish with some spicy notes and lingering carbonation flavor with dry hop character. Excellent for the price.

Single Purchased at Marty’s in Newton. Thanks to AB InBev’s stateside distribution. everyone and theirmom has had Leffe Blond, leading to a number of mispronunciations that make certain beer aficionados apoplectic. This time I am trying the Brune, which I haven’t seen in awhile. This is a coffee looking beer that greets you with a massive tan foam when poured in a chalice (Chimay glass in this case.) When that settles off after a few minutes there’s a nice sweet, yeasty malt aroma. Tastes like Blonde but with more malt and less hops. Signature Belgian bite is there, yet more mellow without much liveliness. Bitter in finish only, which in turn becomes long semi sweet aftertaste. ’Very nice.’

A very nice dubbel. On tap at Cloverleaf. Pours a deep murky amber brown color with an off white foam head. Aroma of dough, banana, and caramel. Has a sweet caramel taste with some bitter. Perfect balance. Very impressed.

Dark brown with a tan head. Carbonated. Raisins, caramel, toffee. Malty. Sweet but finishes somewhat flat, like there should be a more sustained flavor.
