Aux arômes de fruits rouges et de malts légèrement caramélisés, la Fagnes Brune est douce et onctueuse.

Clear but deep ruby brown color, nice two finger beige creamy head, diminishing slowly till thin layer with yeast islets remains, good lacing. Complex aroma, dark malts, dried fruits (dates, raisins), caramel, plums, wine gums, ginger and cinnamon notes. Taste light heavy to medium sweet, slightly bitter, dark fruits, toffee, light ginger and pepper. Medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, in the sweet (but not sugary) aftertaste some light bitterness, ginger and pepper notes, bit of wood. Very good Dubbel indeed.

250mL bottle, best before 2001 (yeah, that's right). Pours a cloudy reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma is oxidized, but there is still some dark fruit, and a little sourness. Flavour is quite tart and fairly oxidized, but this isn't actually half bad considering how old it is - dark fruits, total absence of bitterness, and a touch of acidity. Would have probably been decent when fresh, but it's a pretty unique experience as is. Can't exactly say it's good, but it's not undrinkable.

Flaske, delt med Ovesen mens vørteren kjølner: klar, dyp brunrød med fint offwhite skum. Mer bær og mindre mørk sjokoladesnop enn det jeg forbinder med stilen, men absolutt konsumeringsverdig. God uten å være minneverdig.

Fagnes’ second, with a thick, beige, moussy, irregular, stable head and very dark burgundy colour, clear. Malty aroma of bread, caramel, chocolate, plums, orange, strawberry, straw, flowers, coriander and subtle liquorice. Malty, dark fruity and bready taste, sweet but not sugary, light sourishness, low hop bitterness in the finish. Okay dubbel.
