33cl from Carrefour Cayeux-sur-Mer.
Very dark brown
Quickly diminishing off-white foam head.
Bad burnt rubber-like aromas, cheesy and roasted malt.
Better in mouth than the nose. Dominated by roasted malt with a lively but smooth carbonation.
Not a bad bruin type despite a kind of heat in aftertaste due to alcohol and a hint of off-flavours (burnt rubber again).
Average

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Skyview Tasting, 2/23/13. Purchased in Paris, October 2011. Very dark brown color. Malt and grain aroma. Roasted grain in the flavor with light sweetness. This beer does have good palate, and for a brown ale, it has a lot of flavor.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very dark brown body with stable creamy team head. Aroma is fairly rich with biscuits, mocha, milk chocolate, cheesy and raisin. Very deep chocolate taste for a Belgian dubbed/brown, classy malts and clean yet apparent yeast. Lively carbonation that matches perfectly the dry malts. Ending is surprisingly sticky. Rich for a French brune and a strong malt and hop base. Classic still but well made. Nice. If you like classic Belgian styles, try it! (33cl bottle from La Moustache Blanche)
