Val Dieu - Brune

Highly fermented monastery beer, slightly filtered but undergoing a second fermenteation in the bottle.  If its aroma reminds you of coffee/mocha, the mocha taste disappears, leaving only a slight coffee flavor, with almost no bitterness. Piquant like the pale ale.

Style - Dubbel
Glass to use- Goblet or Chalice
Delivery - 355ml Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a brown color with a tan head. Great lacing.
Aroma - Malty, sweet and some fruit.
Taste -  Sweet, malty, fruit and some spice.
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation and a full body.  fuzzy.
Drinkable - Very good beer.  Reminds me of the St. Bernardus Abt 12.   

This beer may pair well with cheese, chocolate and Beef.
