Bottle from Beers of Europe. Hazy brown with a lasting beige head. Too much fizz. Bit metallic up front, then malt, brown sugar, and a hint of wood and dark fruit. There's a slightly off note like stale marzipan in the mildly drying finish. It's fairly simple, and the fizz and metals give it an industrial hint. A sub-par dubbel which is a slightly disappointing way to tick off my final Belgian region.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Label: 6.8%abv Pours a murky caramel brown colour with a medium sized creamy beige head. Aromas of red berries, jam, caramel and chocolate. Taste is very similar to the aroma with more berries, jam, caramel and chocolate. A touch of sweetness but nicely balanced out. Medium body with average carbonation. This is a very nice Brune and above average for the style. I will definitely try this again one day. I am quite surprised by some of the low ratings and bad reviews for this beer.

Taste is sweet, dark and caramel malty, slightly yeasty fruity, minimally yeasty spicy, hints of dried fruit, some plum and cherry, a touch of liquorice root. Watery texture, slightly dry, simultaneously minimally cloying palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Sweet, simple - not overly impressive.

Bien que relativement simple, cette double, d'un bon équilibre global est globalement agréable. Et c'est davantage la densité aromatique qui fait réellement défaut et que l'on peut regretter. En verre, nous sommes sur un brun clair avec une mousse blanc cassé de 3 mm. Le nez est sur la noisette, le chocolat, la coriandre avec un alcool conférant un bon caractère. L'alliance est relativement basique mais pas désagréable. A la dégustation, la texture est très fine, avec peu de complexité et des corpulence et longueur modérées. Sur l'attaque les épices sont relativement bien présentes avec un bon duo amertume/alcool, l'amertume donnant une bonne fraîcheur et l'alcool un bon tempérament. La base maltée aurait mérité d'être cependant plus dense. L'amertume marque le pas en seconde bouche et permet à l'alcool de prendre davantage de place et à la double de gagner en tempérament. Les arômes restent néanmoins basiques et sans reliefs. Arrière-bouche et final sont strictement linéaires. Pas exaltant.

One of Silke’s fifty. Brown with a frothy head. Brown sugar, pepper and metal aroma. Faint fruitiness. Taste is sweet with a spicy, caramel sweet end. Medium bodied, well carbonated. Not the greatest, but quite drinkable.

Bruin bier met schuim. Smaak is licht bitter met iets van karamel maar verder niet veel andere smaken. Heb beter bier op dan deze.
