Aulne has age-old recipes for some classic beers, but no facilities to brew them in. So, they rely upon the Brewery Val de Sambre, in Charleroi, Belgium to produce and bottle their beers. Selection Brown Ale is a highly traditional Belgian bottle conditioned ale, brewed with malt and top quality hops without any chemical additive. Selection s second fermentation occurs in the bottle and requires several days in a temperature-controlled room. The yeast sediment at the bottom of the bottle could be consumed with the beer, if so desired.
Selection is deep coffee brown in color with a rocky head.
Rich, dried spice and fruitcake flavors with hints of licorice on the palate following through on the lengthy finish. This ale is characterized by its rich and scented flavor as well as its velvety taste.
