Ciney Brune

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

Nose of molassess and cream. Pours a brown beer. Some carbonation, malty, sweet and syrupy. A simple beer.

A Mes rate: 33cl bottle from Ramsgate Harbour Bar.
Clear mid brown with a white film. Brown sauce, sugar and caramel. Some burnt malt too. Sweet finish. Blah.

Bottle. Clear medium to dark brown color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, moderate to light heavy yeasty, brown sugar / candy sugar. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (091207)

25 cl bottle. Deep brown beer, completely clear with a thick beige head. Sweet toasted nut aroma with a soft plumminess as well. Some light caramel. The flavour is a bit chewy with a soft spiciness and some plummy flavour. A little bit floury on the palate. Metallic and dusty. Not a great example.

Quite a boring little number. not much there in the aroma: one of those beers you have to search for smells. Dominant smells and flavors are sweet malt.

Herfstvakantie Ardennen. Gedronken in het hotel. Lekkere smaak. Een echt beter belgisch bier.

Pours brown with tiny head. Aroma is dominated by malt. Flavor has toffee, spices and chocolate. Not as good as their speciale.

[Odense Tasting.]
Low expectations, but they were not fullfilled. An okay brew with abbeynotes such as coriander, clear brown look, mediumthin corpus, dry fruits and highdrinkable!
