Moinette Brune
Bottle: Unfiltered
Famous for their Saison Ale, Brasserie Dupont is also renowned in Belgium for their Moinette. This sturdy ale has an herbal bouquet that indicates its well hopped character. But unlike its drier cousin, its body is fuller and rounder with a slightly sweet finish. Delicious before a meal and with foods like marinated meats and barbecue.

Sept 2020. 330ml dark bottle, unfiltered, from BeerWulf. A good malty Belgian with an attractive herbal hop mix. A solid beer with an interesting tension between the herby hops and the sweet malty beer. [2.9]
Last beer from my reserves. Today I reached my 1000, might as well go for the best of the best.
Smell- weak, maybe acic, maybe malt.
Foam- thin, malty, faint Belgian, and roast notes. Head is medium-sized, medium-dark brown-white color.
Appearance- resealable bottle, simple and classic looking. Maybe a bit cloudy dark orange, red, ruv=by color. No carbonation.
From - snifter
Taste - weak malt, neutral, faint Belgian notes. Feels very tamed down. Not bad, not amazing, middle of the road, but still a drinkable brew. Refreshing.
anisée. epices. bien équilibrée. classique et tout en subtilité. bière brune peut-être un peu commune mais référentielle

Bref : Je suis quelque peu étonné, car je m'attendais à une version plus intéressante de l'Ambrée. Or, j'ai trouvé cette dernière plus équilibrée et meilleure pour mettre en valeur chaque ingrédient de la bière. Celle-ci est bonne, mais mes attentes étaient peut-être mal placées.
Barwa brunatna. Piwo lekko zmętnione. Obfita drobno oczkowa piana. AROMAT: dominują motywy słodowe, pszeniczne oraz drożdżowe. Trochę karmelu, świeże owoce typu brzoskwinia, jabłko. Lekki alkohol, który nie przeszkadza. SMAK: piwo dość słodkie, gładkie z wytrawnym lekko goryczkowym finiszem. Motywy słodowe, pszeniczne, delikatna pieprzność. Przyjemnie karmelowe, lekko opiekane chleb. Trochę alkoholu.

Bottle from Maplewood Liquor in San Jose, CA. Aroma is bread, raisins, some caramel, toast. Taste is thinner than expected but getting more bread, caramel, raisins...both crisp / light but also hearth dark bread and some good caramel coming through. Probably pretty straightforward for a Belgian but it’s been awhile, really enjoyed this one!
Bottle. Hazy nut brown color, fine biege foam. Intense dried red berries and fruit, spicy ester aroma. Medium to dry taste, medium bitterness. Pronounced caramel malty, fruity, light alcohol and ester spicy aftertaste.Low carbonation, thick texture.
Bottle from Belgiuminabox.
Pours a hazy mahogany/dark amber colour with a medium sized beige head. Aromas of malt, dry dark fruit, stone fruits, caramel, fruit cake, burnt brown sugar and bread. Taste is very similar with the same notes as the aroma and a little touch of alcohol. A bit of fizz on the palate, medium to full bodied with a slightly oily but nice chewy mouthfeel. A little bitterness on the finish. Long aftertaste. Very well balanced. Really good.

I love the maltiness and perceived sweetness, yet it is still quite dry, very. Cool beer, clean, worth trying again any day. Online belgian beer factory
Birra bruna dal colore marrone tendente al rosso e dai sapori prevalentemente dolci di prugna e caramello. Buon corpo e poca schiuma.
A 33 cl example of this brew came to me from a seller in Belgium. Dubbels are good, up there with with quads and Belgian dark ales in my estimation. A dark copper-brown entry in my snifter, a light skim of tan foam. The smell is caramel and wheat bread. And then I taste toffee, malt, fig newton, grain, and a slight sweetness, light bitterness. Good without being top level.
Pours a cloudy, deep mahogany coloration with an amber hue, small, fluffy head and lots of fine sediment suspended in the glass. Smells of sweet, rich caramel malt, toffee, brown sugar and strong notes of dark fruit; raisin, fig, date,with just a hint of estery spice: clove. Taste is a great balance of caramel malt, toffee, brown sugar, dark fruits: raisin, fig, date and spicey yeast ester of clove, as well as just a hint of herbal hops coming through as well. Finishes bittersweet, with a light bitterness and some caramel malt, toffee and dark fruits lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation. This is actually somewhat less sweet than its pale brother Moinette Ambrée, due to some more herbal hops and dark fruits shining through here, lending quite a nice balance to this. Quite a nice example of the style all in all.
Ochutnano v bierhausu guldendraaka v centru Prahy. Nadprůměrné pivo ale po lambikove naloží průměr.
330ml bottle at Waterhuis aan de Bierkant in Ghent- hazy deep red body with a scummy head. Nose is a boozy caramel and cake fruits concoction. Taste syrupy with figs and prunes. Nice with cheese.
Oklar ljusbrun med tjockt beige skum. Doftar maltigt, lite bränd frukt, kola och toffé. Smaken fyllig, maltig, lite choklad och kaffe. Eftersmaken lång med beska, fruktiga och kryddiga toner, något torr, tunn på slutet.
Dal color bruno, venature dorate, schiuma discreta e poco persistente. al naso frutta disidratata: prugna e giuggiole su tutto. Lieve carruba. In bocca dolce ma non stucchevole.
