A darker, slightly sweeter beer than its blond counterpart, Loterbol Bruin is a delicious strong Belgian ale, brewed in tiny batches at Belgium’s smallest brewery. Highly drinkable, even at 8% alcohol, this beer lives up to its name, which translates roughly to ’prankster.’…

bottle - Pours dark amber with flaky, practically chunky suspended yeast. There’s a half inch, long lasting light tan head. The aroma is of rich malt and dark fruit. It tastes sweet and malty with the dark fruit coming through nicely. This brew is medium bodied and certainly a good quaff.

Bottle. A clear, sparkling brown beer, clear except for micro-floaties that is. A big, semi-coarse, beige head sits on top, leaving lacings as the beer is drank. The aroma has cellar and dried fruites, a faint puke-like touch, some sugar and herbal notes. Herbal, roasted flavor, quite bitter. Some prunes and alcohol too. Full-bodied, quite dry and with some warming qualities. Herbal bitterness in the end. Not my choice for a bruin, but not a bad one either. 100327

Bottle: Murky-brown with a smaller "dirty" head; burnt malt and burnt sugar in the nose; moderate to solid sweetish flavour with a light acidity, quite full bodied; caramelly and sugary finish with a light acidity and with a light (burnt?-)malty bitterness in the aftertaste. Not a giant pleasure....

Musty, dirty aroma. Low carbonation. Very smooth palate. Flavor has some brown sugar, caramel, and malt. How the heck is this not a dubbel? Rich palate, and full flavored. Easily recognizable Belgian yeast. One of the better beers of this style I have had in a long time.

BB Nov 2005. Very dark brown. Thin head. Oxidizes earthy, slightly sherryish aroma with some woody notes, hints of treacle and subtle dark fruits. Sweetish, fruity (grape, pear, light berry) with soft dark sugars and some moderate oxidized/sherry character. Fun stuff.

Bottle from Utobeer. Opaque, dark brown with a decent tan head. Sweet aroma of molasses, berry fruit and yeast, with a hint of spice. Flavour was similar, with a full mouth feel and slighlty bitter finish. Smooth, enjoyable drinking.
