After the ‘Zatte’, this is the oldest beer from Brouwerij ‘t IJ. Natte is classed as a ‘dubbel’, a Belgian category of smooth, dark beers. Because we partly use dark malt, Natte has a reddish-brown colour and a smooth, roasted flavour with earthy tones of brown sugar, nuts and plums. Completed with slightly bitter hops, this is a nicely balanced beer and one of the brewery’s classics.

From bottle. It pours brownish, with low to moderate foam. Aroma shows a complex bouquet, including signs of alcohol, but my current cold doesn’t allow me to fully appreciate. Taste is accordingly, with moderate sweetness, and a good body. Like it! -- rated with beerbasher/winphone

Bottle at home from Jumbo supermarket. Had it before but apparently never rated. Near clear dark brown pour with thin bubbly offwhite head. Smells yeasty and sweet. Sweet toasted caramel and choco malts. Fudge, brown sugar caramel, dades, banana, butterscotch, IJ yeast. Over medium sweet, light bitter. Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth body with a light chalky grain in the texture. Finish is long and bittersweet, butterscotch.

Had my first Natte about 30 years ago, shortly after the brewery’s opening. I didn’t have this in my RB life though, until now. 33 cl bottle @ De Waaghals, A’dam. Mostly clear ruby brown. Light beige head, dense, with good retention. Aroma’s: sweet, fruit, yeasty, a bit banana. Flavor is moderate sweet with light bitterness. Medium bodied. Finishes yeasty, moderate bitter. Still quite nice, but of course I liked it a lot more 30 years ago.

0.33 l bottle from local AH, best before April 2017. Deep red with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty aroma of caramel, some nuts, a touch of chocolate and a bit of raisins. Sweet and a malty taste of caramel, nuts and some chocolate as well as hints of raisins and honey, followed by a rather short, slighly bitter, a little roasty finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Not that deep, but at least well-balanced and quite tasty.
