Commercial Description:
Full of intriguing malt flavors, Le Pélican Brun was conceived by the fertile imaginations of the team of Pelican brewers and inspired by the many brewing traditions of Belgium . With a deep reddish-brown color that suggests an Abbey-Style Dubbel, but a rich yeast-driven aroma reminiscent of a Saison, Le Pélican Brun serves up coffee-like, cocoa and caramel malt flavors with hints of earthiness and a captivating spiciness. Medium-bodied and highly drinkable, Le Pélican Brun is also rich, complex and satisfying.

Bottle, 75cl. A slightly unclear, brown beer with a beige head. Dried fruits, sugar and some caramel in the aroma. The flavor is quite sweet, with dried fruits, caramel, a yeasty, cellary touch, a hint of spices, and maybe a little alcohol. Medium body with good carbonation. Nice bitterness all the way. A really pleasant brune, pinning it’s Belgian inspiration nicely. (080811)

750ml bottle. Hazy reddish brown body with a nice beige head. Aroma is sweet malt, spicy, caramel, dry fruit and yeast. Complex and very promising aroma. Flavor lives up to the expectations, sweet (very Belgium), spicy , brown sugar, caramel, esters and this wonderful little touch of sourness/cellar notes. Fine malty body, and perfect balance between sweet, sour, bitterness and alcohol. Totally awesome!

Draft at the brewpub. A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is very spicy on a back ground of sweet malt. The flavor is sweet matly with notes of caramel and spices among them cinnamon, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Bottle sample pours a dark muddy brown with a medium to dark speckled tan head. Nose is sweet spice and Belgian yeast esters - banana, some alcohol, some candy sugar, black pepper, etc. Flavor is chewy thick banana bread and candy sugar, the sweetness somewhat muted by thick bread-like malt body, and while it’s nice overall, and has a nice, distinctive Belgian yeast character, it’s a little too sweet.

Bottled, special. Hazy dark brown. Brown sugar nose and a creamy lovely mouthfeel. Flavors are complex and nuanced, not sweet but with alcohol apparent.

pint at the Brewpub, outside in the late summer sun , beautiful. Dark brown, slighty hazed,small tan head, that stays. Aroma is definatlly yeasty, but with hints of burnt brown sugar and coriander. Spicy,complex yeasty, malt driven flavours,also a noticable sourness, which is very pleasing, its almost to the point of a Belgian Sour, but not quite. Very intrgueing. Very nice palate, thick and silky smooth, nicelingering flavours. Overall a very nice beer and a nice surprise.
