COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This brown ale has a marked ruby brown colour with a generous and lasting head. It has a distinctive aroma reflecting the wide range of ingredients used in its production. The fruitiness resulting from its fermentation blends harmoniously with a dominant liquorice and caramel flavour. The body is decidedly malty. The bitterness is the result of a complex alchemy between the fine hops and special malts used. These give St Feuillien Brune a typical dark chocolate appearance.

Pours a deep brown with a large tan. Lots of heavy, gooey malt in the aroma. Honey too in the aroma. Flavor repeats with the honey, solid maltiness again too. Slightly bready. Silky mouthfeel, good carbo. Overall, very good minus.

Stew41 (1413) - Woodend, AUSTRALIA - NOV 1, 2009
Very solid and quite a likeable Brune but doesn’t really stand out, to me at least, from the broader Belgan pack of the genre. Aromas are mild but show decent poached fruit and some toffee. Palate is similarly middle weight but it does grow on me somewhat, particularly as the beer warms up. Malt driven flavours with some mild licorice and spice. Actually, I take back my opening comment, this is pretty decent booze.

twindog (157) - Hampstead, Maryland, USA - OCT 31, 2009
Great color - copper (or a little darker) in hue, subdued nose redolent of nutty maltiness. All caramel and buttercotch on the palette - Decent stuff; nice head, too - drank at about 55 degrees; perfect for this style of beer

berkshirejohn (2834) - Bracknell, Berkshire, ENGLAND - OCT 21, 2009
On tap at the Live and Let Live, Cambridge at 8% ABV. Poured a murky reddish chestnut with a thin ring of white head; some spice to the aroma; dry and somewhat acrid flavour with some fennel and some rich caramel malts; the finish is again lightly spiced with some coriander, and the alcohol is well masked. Pleasant, but I was expecting more from this.

JohnC (2846) - Mission Viejo, California, USA - OCT 18, 2009
On tap at Blue Palms, clear medium brown, not as dark as I would have expected. It had a nice sweet flavor (the wife really liked it). It didn’t have the dark fruitiness you get with a lot of trippels, but it was very tasty.

Deep brown with small off white head - malty taste with some bitteress - nice beer
