St. Benoît Brune

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

A dark red beer with a good head. It has a sweet aroma. And a sweet taste - of a great malt blend - it’s not bitter at all. A realy good beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Brown and surprisingly clear beer, huge, frothy head. Caramel and candy sugars in the flavour with some roasted malt. Could do with a bit more body - this is surprisingly almost watery for a Dubbel. 170398
