Bottle. Hazy dark brown with small beige head. Aroma of sweet malt, candies, vanilla. Taste, sweet malt, candies, fruity, candied fruits. Alcohol is dangerously hidden. Nice one.

Creamy light brown head left a good cover on a rich mahogany coloured still body. Malt, dark chocolate, raisin & milk chocolate aroma. Medium to full bodied, silky, creamy & smooth over the tongue with a tingle on the back. Sweet, malt, chocolate, raisin, syrup, dark berry & dark spirit tastes.

Bottle at Gainsbar. Dark red brown colour, small golden head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, bit beefy but mostly sweet. Taste nice sweet, sugar, beefy again, caramel. Very nice sweetness. not too full on, but decent body. Last beer of a long session so write up is all over the place.

From tap at Café De Engel Oldenzaal. Beer of the Month in december 2002. Cloudy and very young with a buttery aroma. Flavor abundant with hops and licorice. Some butter in the flavor, that gets stronger while the beer is warming up. Lacks some complexity, but that will get better as the beer ages. Bottle, sold as Achel Extra Bruin. Malt, raisin, cake dough and caramel in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with raisin, porto and roasted malt. Hint of cinnamon. Velvety and not without complexity. Warming alcohol. Very well balanced, this powerful trappist ale.

Aus der Flasche 2015-03 getrunken. Hinter dem Abbaye des Rocs Brune kommt diese recht schmächtig daher und eher dichter am Lupulus Brune dran. Doch es hat seine eigenen Qualitäten, insbesondere die Süffigkeit.

Another long desired Belgian quadrupel, I finally obtained Extra Bruin through an accessible retailer that took care of business. I have the 750 ml bottle to sample. Oh yes, and complete I am sure. Minimal information on the label, it does say 9.5% abv. I lift the cap and pour into my favorite Trappistes Rochefort glass. It arrives a medium-to-dark brown while completed with a thinnish, light tan top. I take a smell, dark fruit, bread, crackers and field. All this is prep, now I have a drink. My goodness, this is fine. A straightforward maltiness, dates, chocolate, a touch of vanilla, dark bread and raisin. It finishes with an appropriate bitterness. A thick consistency, chewy. This is a complete package folks. Comparable to the best quads I have had and it is my favorite style.

27 April 2019. At Zythos Bierfestival. Deputy Taster: Anke. Cheers to Ama Deke, Erwin, John & Meeki! Hazy brown, lasting, thin, frothy, tan head; some deposit. Aroma of candi sugar, caramel, pear syrup, candied date, dough, salted peanut, chocolate. Taste is medium malty sweet, quite nutty, restrained caramel, chocolate & fig, sourish brambleberry too; bitter edges of dried tea leaves, toast, clove (somewhat phenolic) & mocha, leading to a dryish, herbal hoppy finish, a bit earthy, where nuts & burnt caramel linger. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Doesn’t really distinguish itself for me at this moment. Reminder to have this one again, perhaps from a nicely aged bottle.
