In de neus valt een lichtzoete toets op - de alcohol (8 vol.% Alc) is daar niet vreemd aan - maar toch komt dit sterk bier fris over. De smaak is volmondig en prikkelend op de tong. Lichtjes zoet (maar niet plakkerig), een vleugje rijp fruit, maar vooral koffiebitter bepalen het karakter van dit bier. Ook de lange afdronk wordt door deze bitterheid overheerst.

2018 bottle drunk 6/15/21. Clear, ruddy, mahogany with a small, off-white head showing low retention. Lovely minearl-like yeast notes are elegant showing none of the unwanted clove, intense pepper and with well-developed malts adding a mix of honey, vanilla and caramel. Moderate dark fruitiness on the end adds complexity and no alcohol or flaw is noted. Malty in the mouth. Not sure if these are finely-filtered then bottled with yeast like many of the bigger Belgian trappist/abbey ales, but it doesn't seem like it as there's more malt depth/softer texture here. Prune-like acidity balances the honey-and-chocolate sweetness from the malts while an interesting array of esters and phenols develop (sans clove/banana/bubble gum). Fairly tight carbonation. Light alcohol warmth and a bit of bready-like oxidation, to be expected, on the finish.

Bottle online from Beerhouseshop.be. Pours a dark chestnut brown colour with a large thick creamy off-white head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel and a little candied sugar. Taste has more dry dark fruits, caramel, a little sweetness and a lot of peppery spice. Very well balanced. Medium body with a lively fizzy palate and a slightly oily mouthfeel. Very nice Bruin.
