Commercial Description:
This beer looks like it means business right from the start. It is dark red brown with a good fluffy head and has a rich spicy malt nose with a few bitter orange notes. The palate has a big hoppy bite and a rich, fruity, dark coffee character, which tries to become roasted in the finish.

Buttery aroma with sweet berryish fruit, banana and chianti touches. Creamy malt loaf spice dusted with ginger and cinnamon. Lethally smooth wintery sipper at least as impressive as the blond.

A fun, approachable brown-colored dubbel. Although it has nothing to set it clearly apart it from its brown brethren, La Binchoise beers are usually safe bets. The brune is one of my favorites of the lot, because the flavors mingle well. Balanced and easy to drink.

Bottle sampled with stegosaurus. Pours brown in color with a nice tan head. Aroma of caramel, toasted malts, fruit and a hint of chocolate. Flavor is well balanced with caramel, molasses, roast, dark fruits and a bit of woodiness with a warming and pleasant finish.
