Ciney Brune

Brewed by Brasserie Union (Alken-Maes / Heineken)
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Jumet, Belgium

Bottled [BB 06/2006]. Dark ruby brown, medium-sized tan head. Sour milk, malty nose (bottle is too old propably). Fruity, typical low quality bruin with raisins, nuts ... and cardboard. Very metallic flavor. Don’t be fooled with Alken-Maes who calls this "Cuvëe".

Bottle at la C erio. Aroma= vinegary sweet. ap: nice opaque red-glint brown. f: easy, more beery than most dubbel, brown candii, earthy, lightly sweet. p: smooth, round, tasty. o: no complaints, pleasing, decent stuff

Draught at Delirium Café in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Description of the pouring: The tap went out half way into the glass, the guy behind the bar continued to pourfoam into a big glass, waited until the foam had settled and poured it into my beer. About the worst thing I’ve seen, but didn’t feel like complaining today...

Dark red-brwon color, big beige fluffy head.
Smells like a mix of old red wine and vinegar.
Initially very sour taste, faint butterscotch aftertaste. Almost a bit flat and watery, but that might be due to the above described pouring technique.
Low to none bitterness. A bit sweet taste behind the sour taste.

Has it gone bad as it being the last in the keg, or is the beer really suposed to taste this way???

This beer has a dark brown body - hue apperance and a fine light brown scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a lot of carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is sweet with a light carmel afther tast.

On tap from Delirium Café..Some taste of bread, alcohol and medium sweetness. It is dark brown with a white foam. Quite good but a bit strong in alcohol.

Dark brown with little light brown bubbles at the top. Deep bark with malt aroma. No overpowering flavor tasted like most dark beer. Ordinary finish!

Bottle: Amber / ruby with a beige head. Caramel nose. Sweetish caramel, some dark fruits and light spice. A little thin but drinkable.

330ml bottle from Franglais, Calais. Ruby colour with bubbly red/ivory head. Cereal, toffee and boiled cabbage/broccoli aroma. Bit thin on flavour in mouth. Pasteurised, some boiled sweet. Some dryness on end. Some more toffee. Not much of interest unless you like boiled broccoli.
