St. Benoît Brune

Brewed by Du Bocq
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Purnode-Yvoir, Belgium

Flaske. Over sidste holdbarhedsdato men alligevel utrolig god øl. Store gærrester flød rundt i den hvilket trækker ned i synsindtrykket men ellers meget harmonisk øl, med en god sødme fra tilsat sukker og et godt bid i eftersmagen.

A Mes rate: 33cl bottle from Kris Wines. Deep dark red brown with a rim of off white bubbles. Nice spicy aroma with notes of rosemary and a reasonable malt hop balance. Light ginger notes in the mouth giving it a prickly feel. Unexpected hit of hops and a nice note of orange in the finish leaving a little more of the tingle from the ginger. Interesting and unusual.

Once a bottle, "who" won worldprice number 1, I remember someone said. A nice looking beer with notes of strong caramel sweetish notes and sourbitterness flavor, which proves the belongines to the corsendonk family. An okay beer!

The color is dark brown and the aroma has notes of roasted malt, candy sugar and caramel. The flavour is sweetish with notes of candy sugar, roasted malt and a hint of dark fruits. I thinks it’s a bit monotonous, and the sweetness cannot carry the weight all by it self. 2235

Ruby with a small head. Dried fruit aromas and some malt. Dry flavour with malt and caramel notes.

Bottle. Deep amber brown colour. Very thin head. Aroma of fruits, lemon/grape, bread, plum and yeast. A very nice bruin and way more exciting than a Leffe Bruin.

Draught. Dark red/ruby with a non-existing head. Very fruity aroma, grapes and plum. Taste of plum, malt, nice hoppy finish.

Bottled. A dark brown coloured beer with a small tan coloured head. The aroma is malty and bready with brown fruits. The taste is more of the same and there’s a nice fruity sweetness and citrus hop flavour. A hoppier than usual dubbel, and tasty for it.
