Ciney Brune

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

Dark brown colour. Dense head. Somewhat yeasty and malty aroma. Rich, malty flavour with a touch of chocolate. Alcohol bitter finish.

25 cl Bottle. A deep dark red allmost brown in colour overtop a little fast head. Good medium mouthful, with notes of burned barley, and some choclate hints. Good light sweet aftertaste.

Very good beer overall. Visited an area near CIney this weekend and came back with a carload. This was a very pleasent suprise. Nice brown clear in the glass, very small head. But the taste was excellent very smooth and refreshing. Highly Recommended!

(Bottle 25 cl) Dark brown, pretty tall head that collapses though. Very malty notes. Both fruity and spicy in a good balance between sweetness and bitterness. A very decent dubbel indeed. 040893

(bottle) Red to amber body with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is quite musty, vinous and a bit sour. Sweetish flavour, medium bodied, soft carbonated. The taste is malty, slightly fruity with dry plums, a bit sour (vinegar), but also sweet, which is all well-balanced and makes this beer an experience. The high ABV is not detectable.

Bottle. A sweet dried fruit aroma. Dark brown color with small head. Nice complex flavor - raisin/plum jam and molasses. No bitterness or nasty sweetness to the beer.

Bottle. Weak malty, sherryish aroma. Brown colour. Unstable light brown head. Dark malt flavour, a bit like Vitamalt. Øllebrød flavour notes and mouthfeel. Sweet finish.

(Bottled) Very dark amber / brown color with a medium, beige and lacy head. Sweetish aroma of raisins, malt and some salty soy-sauce sourness. Sweetish, toffee-malty flavor with salty rye pudding hints. Medium-bodied, slightly sugary palate with balanced carbonation. A not very full-bodied, quite straightforward dubbel - but with some interesting qualities.
