Val Dieu Brune

Similar to its pale sibling and also inspired by an old abbey recipe.  Highly fermented monastery beer, slightly filtered but undergoing a second fermentation in the bottle.  Powerful café/mocha aroma.  In spite of its name the colour is darker ruby.  If its aroma reminds you of coffee/mocha, the mocha taste disappears, leaving only a slight coffee flavour, with almost no bitterness. Piquant like the pale ale.  Brownish and jagged at the edges.  Beer & Food Pairing:  Barbecue, Beef, Grilled meat, sausage, smoked fish, game, teriyaki chicken, pork tenderloin, strong cheese, chocolate desserts
