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.

Appearance: dark brown caramel, with ruby notes. Aroma: light malt, cereal, caramel. Taste: sharp up front, with light caramel/toffee notes. Finish: short and bitter, with lingering carbonation. Notes: Extremely carbonated and spicy; never had such a carbonated beer. Worth another try.

Pours medium brown with a big, foamy light brown head. Nose is very sweet and fruity. Flavor is similarly malt-lead and brown sugary with an excellent balance of yeast, body, and spiciness. Alcohol is well hidden. Superb example of the style.

wyzzywyz22 (1474) - Wirral, Merseyside, ENGLAND - MAR 3, 2011
Bottle@Radisson Royal Hotel Bar, Copenhagen. Reddish brown pour with a medium size fading tan head. Nose was dark fruit ,caramel malt and brown sugar. Quite lively carbonation. Flavour was malt driven and began sweet, then some fruitiness and booze arrived. A little earthyness and a vague metallic tang lurking too. Dryish slightly spicy finish. Hadn’t tried one of these in years and although its not without some redeeming qualities its pretty run of the mill stuff.

I wasn’t as impressed with this one as I was with the other Belgian beers I was trying at the time. It is a nice brown beer with a subtle caramel sweetness to go with the Belgian yeast profile.

hawthorne00 (1307) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JAN 21, 2011
Bottle, 8.5%. Pours chestnut brown with a beige head that fades to a thick coat. Restrained aroma of nuts, dark caramel, dough, prunes. Very mouthfilling with big dark/ dried fruit and toffee sweetness, licorice, some tartness and a firm drying hop finish with some pepper and cloves. Alcohol very well hidden. A bit clean, perhaps and not terribly deep. But fine flavours and quite lovely balance.

Questa è una signora dubbel, bevuta a casa di un amico con tanto di camino acceso, in bottiglia da 75 cl, ho veramente apprezzato.

Pours ruby amber, small sediment particles, small tanned head leaving some lacing. Aroma is sweet malty, fidges, fudge, raisins, yeast and alcohol. Very crisp fruity mouthfeel. Flavor of alcohol, fruits, yeast, tart hops and bread. Tart sweet palate. Finishes very tart, but shortlived.
