Smell- weak malt, weak acidic tones. Foam- malt, weak caramel, weak sourness, weak bitter tones. Medium-sized dirty white in color. Appearance- generic bottle cap, label is generic for 2 series but unique in a way, so get your round up. Cloudy dark brown, no visible carbonation. From - tulip Taste - malt, weak acidic tones, bit sour-ish. Malty and sour-ish aftertaste. Meh.

Roodbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is heel licht fris zuur fruitig met iets van bramen en wat sinaasappel. Is verder wat waterig in de mond helaas.

19/XI/19 - 33cl bottle @ HoReCa-Expo Gent, BB: n/a - (2019-1846) Thanks to the brewers and the Ghent Beer Posse for sharing today’s beers!
Clear dark brown beer, big creamy beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: caramel, malty, cow fodder, grains, soft roast even. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweetish, bitter touch, bit metallic, spicy, some star anise. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, caramel touch, little bitter, spicy. At least a bit more interesting than the blond one.

The second beer named after a soap series character impersonated by a locally well-known actress, the follow-up to a blonde version. Only slightly lacing, very mousy, opening, pale greyish beige head over initially lightly misty, mahogany brown beer with reddish-ruddy hue. Aroma of overripe black cherries, caramel candy, treacle, candied fig, old maple syrup, rotting pear, medlar, stewed blue plum, maracuja, very old polyester rug, wet dog, band aid phenols, rosehip tea. Very sweet onset, cloying even with a lot of residual brown sugar, notes of banana, pear and overripe plum, with a sourish edge accentuated by prickly carb but also feeling rather lactic (as in an 'oud bruin'), with a slick, almost vinous mouthfeel; 'simple' caramelliness in the middle with a cereally backbone, still dried by this lactic effect, however soft it may be. Ends with clinging, cloying, caramelly sweetness, a herbal but non-bittering hop accent and an ongoing lactic dryness, as well as something unpleasantly polyester-like. Weird beer, it's as if an attempt at an old school (read: sweetened) 'oud bruin' was made here - which would be a first for a brewery located in more or less the right region - but somehow the cloying sweetness and plastic-like effect kept bothering me all the way through. Faintly reminiscent of Liefmans in its worst (Riva) days and not pleasant to drink at all. Maybe I should have bought the blonde one, but then the fictitious character depicted here is a brunette, so... In short: weird and not too pleasant, a bit like the soap opera character itself, I guess.
