A brown ale in the Belgian tradition. It possesses rather a delicate bitterness. It has a strong flavour, particularly because it contains chocolate malts and because of its high aromatic hops content.

It is suitable for days when the weather is not so hot, or even for the dead of winter when snow or frost is on the ground.

The dark one in this stylized series of regional beers executed at Legendes and from the same style and shape of bottle as the other two. Thick, cobweb-lacing, pale yellowish beige, frothy head over a hazy bronze-ish chocolate brown beer with ruby hue. Aroma of old walnuts, dusty old caramel candy, tree leaves, dried elderberries, dried prunes, burnt sugar, earth, granola, raisins, muesli, tea, brown bread, coriander seed and a vague note of manure. Dried fig and baked banana sweetness in the onset, light sourish edge, plum accent, brown sugariness but quite restrainedly so for the style; medium carb, caramelly and walnutty malt sweetishness, leafy and a bit 'woody' with toasty bitterish edge supported by a herbal, earthy hop bitterness. Some dusty and bready yeastiness and coriander seed spiciness in the end. Classically conceived Belgian 'bruine', a dubbel with a cleanly earthy, herbal and bit toasty character, well-bodied and not as sweet as many of the dubbels produced by the larger players - so far from the worst in its style.
