Basilius is a dark copper-colored beer with 7% alc.. This thirst-quenching beer gets its soft caramel aromas exclusively from the barley malts used. The hop varieties Amarillo and Saaz, on the other hand, provide a subtle fruity (orange) and spicy aroma and a refined bitterness. EBC 57. Density 16° Plato.

28 May 2018. At Cambrinus. Shared with Anke.
Pours hazy dark amber to brown with a lasting, small, frothy, tan head; little lacing. Intense aroma of almond, caramel, cookie dough, herbs, tea leaves, cinnamon & speculaas, peach, pear syrup. It tastes medium to heavy malty sweet, caramel & dough, and light to medium herbal bitter, bit spicy. Dry, herbal hoppy finish, lingering dough & cookie, very slightly metallic, a dash of warming brandy alcohol. Medium to full body, creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Quite my style, nice for dessert.
