Ciney Brune

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

[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!

Red brown with a small but lasting white head. Malt, toffee and coriander in the nose. Rather sweet with malt, caramel and spice in the flavour.

Amber with creamy brown head. Nutty/caramel & light yeast aroma - very nice. Medium mouthfeel - dark fruits & light sweet malts. Very pleasant. Little thin palate & brown sugar notes.

Bottle @ ChristianScheffel tasting. [thank you, BeerBiker]
Pours a nice deep brown with a rather small off white head. Aroma is great, toffee and caramel based with some Belgian sugar as well. Nice creamy palate. Flavour is sweet, but maintains a slight roasted/chocolate background as well as a tiny dash of hops. Well-balanced - and generally a good Dubbel.

bottle. Tiny head, malty nose. Flavours of malt, roasted malt and fruit. Slightly yeasty. There is a metallic flavour that I don’t really like.

Bruges-07. Clear ruby brown body is topped by a decent, fine bubbled, tan head. Very sweet with fruit and brown sugar undertones. Medium body with modest bitterness.

sweet but hoppy, its a decent somewhat light brew that would be enjoyable in a casual bar setting but not something for gourmets

Candy-like sweetness has some solventy undertones. Clear ruby brown body is topped by a decent, fine bubbled, tan head that recedes to a thin but lasting cover with some patchy lacing. Decent candied malt sweetness with a nondescript round fruitiness and plenty of brown sugar. Medium body with soft bubbled effervescence that engages the tongue. Quite enjoyable despite it’s age.
