Bottled. A brown beer with a tan head. The aroma has notes of caramel, fruits, and vanilla. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, fruits, and spices, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle@Yesprs - pours a,bet to brown with off-white head. Aroma and taste is sweet malty and fruity, light toasty, yeasty, some light spices into the finish.

33 cl bottle. Pours clear and golden orange to brown with a small off white head. Aroma is toasted malty and caramelish to breadish. Mild fruity, toasted, slight estery. Toasted and light fruity finish.

Pours hazy brown with a big, lasting, off-white head. The aroma contains caramel, butterscotch, brown sugar, raisin, bread and some dark fruits. It tastes heavy caramelly sweet and light spicy bitter; dry, herbal hoppy finish, sweetish still. Medium body, sticky texture, fizzy carbonation. Not at all complex; a nice dessert beer.

11/X/15 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ home - BB: VIII/2017 (2015-1466) Thanks to Ben for picking this one up for me!

Clear deep amber to red brown beer, creamy irregular beige head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: sweet, caramel, bit bready, ripe banana, yeast. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty sweet, caramel, metallic, banana, candi sugar. Aftertaste: caramel, dried fruits, little bitter, sugary, metallic, banana, milk chocolate, way too sweet.

Like Duff from The Simpsons, this is a fictitious beer from a television show now brought to real life by Van Honsebrouck. Thick, sticky, light beige head over a clear, deep burgundy coloured beer. Aroma very sweet,liquorish candy, butterscotch and caramel candy, toasted bread, dried leaves, cake, cooked grain, dried plums, raisins, hint of grass. Sweet taste, candied fruits and brown sugar, fairly strong carbo, smooth and somewhat resinous mouthfeel, very caramelly and sweet with a light toasted accent, vaguely metallic, light herbal and earthy hop bitterishness in the end. Pretty straightforward, too sweet for me and, frankly, unnecessary beer, but enjoyable nonetheless. Kind of feels like a less industrial and more balanced version of Kasteelbier Bruin - which I assume is not that far from the truth.

330 ml. bottle. BBF 07/2017. Clear brown amber, little tanned head. Nose is cough syrup, bark, herbal, sickly sweet, sugar burned on the stove, cooked banana,… Taste is fish guts, brown banana, light cough syrup, faint herbal, thick sweetness, herbs, thick caramel, finish is fish guts, oily sweetness,… Finish has some burned herbs. Taste is oily, industrial,… Heavy fish guts & oily less think body (than usual for a BE beer) make me almost think a bit of DE beer. Commercial / mainstream yes but nice for sure. It even has some interesting qualities, rather like it. I don’t really where this fits in their line-up, Van Honsebrouck already has iconic, very well marketed brown beer (Kasteel Donker), are they trying to create a new brand? Unlike the new Filou, I haven’t seen this one advertised anywhere so far. I actually prefer this one to Kasteel Donker, quickier his one (it has been a long time since I have had Kasteel Donker).

Pours clear, dark amber to light caramely brown. Cristal clear, small white head. Smell is sweet, sugary, caramelly malts. Taste is sharp, arteficial sweet, banana notes, very chemical, very sweet. Bit bitterness in the back. not natural at all.
