Hmmm. Dark Gold bière brune is black. Very smooth and knocks spots off the Diôle. I would still prefer that it not be as strong, however.
I love the chase spring water. can't bear to try anything else when brewing. I know you can improve certain styles by tweaking it or using different bottled water but it's a very good all rounder imo.
Ps im drinking chase spring as I have to be sober for a big drive tomorrow!

After the quaffing of two good beers, I always resort to basic beers - in this case Leffe bruin 6.5%. Nutty and not as clean as the other two. https://leffe.com/en/leffe-brown
In a few words:
SHARP AND FULL-BODIED 6.5%
Leffe Brown is an authentic abbey beer. Both its deep, dark brown colour and its full, slightly sweet flavour can be ascribed to the use of darkly roasted malt, making every sip just as exceptional as the last.
A SHORT STORY ABOUT A LEGENDARY BEER
Dinant, 1240. In the heart of the Leffe district lies an abbey well-known among the village locals. One morning, the Premonstratensian Fathers that live in the abbey hold a meeting in the refectory on a subject that concerns all the inhabitants of Dinant: how can they avoid the epidemics that spread through contaminated water? After giving the subject some serious thought, the monks come to the idea to purify the water through a process they knew only too well: by turning it into beer. Before long, the inhabitants of Dinant have the pleasure of discovering a deep, dark brown beer, and thousands of pilgrims passing through are more than happy to sample the monks’ hospitality. Leffe Brown was born.
EXPERT ADVICE
“Leffe Brown’s soft, deep brown colour and the perfect balance between a discreetly bitter yet slightly caramelised taste can be ascribed to age-old traditions. Hints of coffee and chocolate provide this beer with an even more desirable flavour. Served in a Leffe chalice, the smooth, creamy beer head, the roasted aromas and the spiced flavour have the ability to suspend time.”
APPETIZERS
Leffe Brown is a perfect beer to sample among friends, while you read a good book or in front of a warm fireplace in the evening. It is also ideally paired with aperitif snacks or cheese and it goes perfectly with spicy, caramelised or sweet and sour dishes. Leffe Brown contains 6.5% alcohol and is ideally served at 5-6°C in a beer chalice, which will allow all the flavours to come through.
Which sounds fine. However it is brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev, so its basically Grotneys Red Barrel meets MacDonalds. OK quaffable beer but not amazing.

Drinking a brown ale made with Green Bullet hops brewed to the clibit recipe for Centenniel Brown Ale.
If you check it out in the Complete and Brewed Beers section (P4 or 5) of the forum, you will see that the recipe is prefaced with the words "This Was Beautiful".
It still is, mate, it still is.

After another gruelling day supporting the Mrs at Wrexham Christmas market we've gone out for her shop Christmas meal...very nice at a local pub with a great selection of beer...I opted for two pints of titanic plum porter and three pints of Salopian brewery Firkin Freezing pale ale. Home now with a ESB.

First beer of the night De Ranke XX Bitter http://www.deranke.be/en/bier/xx-bitter
"XX-bitter is our most bitter, high-fermenting beer. Despite its low alcohol content, it produces a very rich, long lasting, full flavour.
Full marks for giving all the stats. It tastes more like a highly-hopped blanche to me. Certainly very pleasant, although more suited to a summer's evening. And 6% is not my idea of low alcohol, despite living in Belgium for so many years.
The next beer is another Diôle, this time Amber.

London Porter this afternoon, watching the rugby (Go Exeter!). Lovely beer that I made myself.
4.5 MO, 500g Munich, 316g Brown, 600g Dark Crystal, 118g Black Malt. Used the much maligned S04 yeast and whatever hops to bitter it up a bit.
