Commercial Description:
This brown ale has a marked ruby brown colour with a generous and lasting head. It has a distinctive aroma reflecting the wide range of ingredients used in its production. The fruitiness resulting from its fermentation blends harmoniously with a dominant liquorice and caramel flavour. The body is decidedly malty. The bitterness is the result of a complex alchemy between the fine hops and special malts used. These give St Feuillien Brune a typical dark chocolate appearance.

750ml bottle, big pop when opened and then it gushed big time. Color is a hazy amber. Head was big and loose at the start but it settled to a nice tight tan. Aroma is sweet with a spicy yeast note. Taste is creamy and metallic. Starting with a lighter medium body it goes down smooth with an almost flat feel, this seems odd seeing how it gushed when opened. Finish is a toasted caramel sweetness with a touch of dried fruit, then a light spicy hop flavor and some yeast. After taste is flat with some metallic coming in as the sweet flavors slowly fade leaving a mild bitterness behind. Overall its not one of the better Belgian Ales I have had but it’s still a good brew, it just seems to have flat flavors and the metallic didn’t help.

Appearance: Opaque, deep chestnut brown body with two full inches of airy, beige-colored foam. Smell: Sweetish aroma of brown sugar and toasted caramel transitions to notes of green raisins and apricots and finally a spiciness smelling of coriander and cinnamon. Taste: The taste presents bold hits of very sweet caramel cubes, brown sugar, tart fruitiness, and cutting spices. Slight earthy bitterness. Touch of warming alcohol on the tail end. Malty, bittersweet finish with a lingering spiciness. Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium, though airy carbonation. Drinkability: Surprisingly good. A fine, enjoyable dubbel that served as a pleasant aperitif at Leon’s Full Service in Decatur.

33cl bottle in St Feuillien glass. Another local beer that has greta potential. Pours dark brown, beige head. Aroma and taste, good notes of dark fruits, some candy sugar, dark malts really come forward with hints of caramel and hints of hops in the finish. Just easy to drink and well crafted.

Pours dark ruby amber with a beige head. Berry and ripe fruit aroma. Taste is much the same with a roast finish. Very nice balance and not overly sweet but a bit thin.

Chestnut colourwith a lasting off-white head. Spicy aroma with licorice and dried fruits. Dried fruits and caramel dominates a well balanced flavour with a touch of molasses.
