Had on tap at the brewery, just off the Grand Place, Brussels.
A - Beer was a beautiful chestnut color with red highlights; very clear. Off-white head was somewhat persistent.
S - Aromas very muted at first, got more distinct and complex with warming. Smelled like grains; earthy hops; spicy yeast characteristics (not fruity).
T - Like the smell, initially muted, but became more complex as it warmed. Strong taste of sweet brown sugar, more faint grains; spicy notes from yeast and/or hops. Toffee.
M - Medium body. Mouth-coating sensation that is slightly syrupy and cloying. Low carbonation. No alcohol flavors.
O - This is a great looking beer, but it doesn't live up to its visual promise. Forgettable flavors.

On tap at the brewery 6 20 09 into a clean, clear glass. Review from notes taken there. I suppose this is the beer since the menu listed it as "dark."
A 2 inch frothy head with good lacing over a dark amber body.
S Medium to dark roasted malt smell. Nice.
T Nice medium to dark roasted malt flavor. Not much hops at all.
M Full, but soft feel with carbonation (see: frothy head) and ABV bigness.
D Really good for this style.
Notes: Nice to have at the brewery and an ultimately very drinkable "Brune."

This one was probably my favorite of the 3 beers offered in the sampler. Definitely a sweet brew, caramel, roasted malts, no bitterness, a creamy texture that lacked body with about a 7 or 8% alcohol content. Good appearance in the glass it was served, i think its head lasted the longest of the 3.

Another rating from mid last year. I really didn't like the feel of this brewpub, a bit touristy to me. The beer was lightly caramelly, yeasty, easy to drink, a blander version of a Belgian brune. Ok, but, nothing special, dummed down, like all their beers, but still, not that bad.
