2.8 La versione scura della St Benoit non mi ha colpito particolarmente, ho trovato un sapore più piatto, nonostante i buoni voti. Si presenta ambra rosso con schiuma biancastra di media persistenza. Aroma e sapore poco convincenti, si avverte una dolcezza compensata da una nota amara.

3.1 Birra rosso scuro con una bella testa beige. Aroma di miele e di frutta secca, fragole. In bocca miele d’acacia, frutta, e sul finale comunque una certa dolcezza. Non amara. Ottima birra per una bevuta sostenuta.

2.9 Bottle (33 cl) from Beer Gusto, Belgium. Murky brown, medium beige head. Nutty malt, some roasted notes, cloying spicy aromas. Light to mmedium bodied, medium carbonnation. Semi dry, medium bitterness.

4.1 De St Hadelin Amber is een zalig donker biertje met een zalig lekkere smaak, echt aan aanrader. Ook als St Benoit geproefd

3.4 Jellegzetes illattal rendelkező ale, mely az édeskés, kakaós és étcsokoládés aromákat bőségesen árasztja magából. Ízvilágát szintén ismerősként üdvözölhetjük, a krémes hab által lefinomított, selymesen gördülő kortyok csokoládés, kissé fanyar és élesztős ízvilágot fednek fel, mely kitűnő eszközül szolgál egy ízekre koncentráló, nyugodt sörözgetéshez.

3.1 Solid Belgian dubbel. Body of sweet malt, with a touch of caramel. Has fruits and some mild herbs.

3.6 Bière de tradition certes, mais pas trop monastique malgré sa référence audacieuse à St Benoît, un saint strictement lié aux bénédictins !!! Mais nous avons déjà connu dans cette brasserie la triple Moine, qui n’était pas non plus des plus claires quant à sa référence monastique … Laissons donc là les moines, et consacrons-nous (sans jeu de mots) à la dégustation. Couleur brun roux, et d’ailleurs rousse en transparence. Clarté nette. Bulles moyennes très nombreuses et très vives. Mousse beige foncé à gros flocons mais très crémeuse en haut, avec une jolie texture blanc d’oeuf battu. Arômes de pruneau, blé mouillé, épcie fine en arrière plan. 1ère bouche soyeuse sur du pruneau, du pain noir, une pointe de cassis et de mûres. Arrière-bouche de chocolat noir, blé noir et malt torréfié. 2ème bouche avec un accent de guinness belge, une fine allure de stout et du houblon fin. Arrière-bouche très agréable. 3ème qui tombe un peu de niveau, nettement sur le sucre brun. Arrière-bouche plus plate. La longueur est le point crucial de ce type de bière, et elle ne passe pas ….la rampe du jubé. L’alcool est faible à 6,5 % abv (attention … St Benoît ne serait pas content …). La levure est faible, malgré la prétention du brasseur à une refermentation... La finale est sympa sans plus. CONCLUSION : une bonne bière de tradition, à laquelle il faudrait sans doute un supplément d’âme. Mais, c’est simple, il suffit de demander à St Benoît … Sic.

3.7 Bouteille 33 cl de Boissons Center - Montagny (CH). Brune pétillante, mousse beige grossière. Nez malté fruité, prune, avec du caramel-sucre brun. La bouche est douce, un peu croustillante, bordée d’amertume. Notes de rôti, prune et mûre, caramel-réglisse, léger chocolat. Elle reste légère avec une finale fruitée et herbacée plus sèche.

3.6 Bottle. It pours a dense, beige head over a clear, reddish brown body. Looking quite nice, and there’s curtains too. Dried fruits, some caramel and cellar, brown sugar and a little piney touch. Quite dry on the palate, with a pleasant carbonation level. Dried fruits, caramel, brown sugar and even more dried fruits. Piney notes, and a little bitterness. Lasting finish with sweetness, bitterness and lots of dried fruits. A nice one. 131214

3.1 33 cl. bottle of unspecified vintage (but BBF 01/12/2011) sampled @ Kulminator. Pours blackish dark brown with a small tanned head. Nose is clearly oxidized with some mould as well is brown sugar, figs & dark fruits, heavy on brown sugar sweetness,… Taste is heavy on oxidation, mould, dust, big sweetness, brown sugar, dark fruits, figs, strong & simple syrup, cardboard, soapy, light molasses,… Body is thinned out. Okay but off-flavours from the oxidation have corrupted this one a bit too much.

3.8 slightly reddish dark brown colour, huge brownish head, which, however collapses quickly; aroma and taste of caramel, brown sugar, burnt wood and intensive fruityness (mostly grape); good dubbel

2.6 Lekker bruin bier. Niet meer en niet minder. Vol van smaak en drinkt goed weg.

3.3 Poured a deep mahogany with a thin frothy off-white head. The aroma is rich citrus fruit leading to a medium bitter flavour with a zesty fruity, slightly sweet palate. Very drinkable in the summer. I’m not sure how I would feel after 2 or 3 bottles though.

3.5 Bottle at The Tube in Luxemburg. Fruity and dark malty smell. Similar taste. Smooth and easy to drink.

2.5 19/V/13 - 33cl bottle from Comptoir des Fagnes (Couvin, BE) @ home - BB: 16/VII/13 (2013-492) Note: shared with BelvidereIPA and our wives Little cloudy red brown beer, creamy beige head, unstable, bit adhesive. Aroma: pretty soapy, floral, sweet ripe fruits, peaches. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: some citrus, fruity, very soapy hops, orange peel, little bitter. Aftertaste: hint of mocha, caramel, chocolate, soapy, bit watery. Not very exciting...

3.2 Good dubbel beer, dark brown color with creamy tan head, aroma is roasted, light coffee and sweet caramel malt, this sensation is present also in taste, smooth body and good drinkable.

3.1 Dark rubin brown/black in colour. Nearly no head as served too cold (grumble...) but should be a toasty coloured head. Noses of sugar can, malts and some fruits like figs(?) aromas. Bit fizzy and lots of sweet malt on the palate. Bit sticky oily texture and full bodied. Good for after a short quick lunch to fill the gap.

3.1 Bottle @ tasting. Aroma is caramel, molasses and some spices. Flavour is caramel and spices mostly, quite creamy. Nice.
