Moinette Brune
Moinette Brune was the first variation of the Moinette, unveiled for Belgium's Year of Beer in 1986. Four special malts give it an unusual colour, a slightly dark brown that turns towards russet and fiery red in the glass. Cocoa and chocolate lead the nose, with yellow fruit and gentle spice of clove and cinnamon. The palate is fine and layered, pairing a soft, round body with a well-integrated bitterness, light fruit and a dry finish.
