Tasted from bottle as Slaapmutske Winterbier and from tap as Slaapmutske Bruin (thanks to Dany, the brewer, himself); a dubbel with crackling, stable, moussy, light beige head and misty bronze colour with amber hue. Fruity and purely malty aroma, apple sauce, banana, strawberry, caramel, coriander, chocolate, cloves, a whiff of coffee, herbal hops, some red cabbage. Agreeably malty taste, fruity and vaguely sweetish, peppery spiciness in the middle, light toasted bitterness and herbal hoppiness in the finish, but rather short. Pretty high carbo for the style. Decent.

Taste: little bitter, mocha, some banana, bit dirty, nutty, some caramel. Aftertaste: bit off, soft bitterness, overripe banana.

Bottle at Moorings. It pours amber with a thick white head. The nose is earthy, brown bread, spice, light sweetness, horlicks and muffin. The taste is bitter, toasty, brown bread, spice, light caramel, fruit cake, citrus peel, banana bread and earth with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Well rounded and easy going.

0,33L, BB 10.04.2015. Pours dark red amber with off-white head. The head stays. Aroma is intense sweetness, caramel candy, fruits, raisins, and malt. Taste is sweet, caramel candy, malt, fruits, and plums. Overall: nice brew.

Bottle 330ml @ home
Pours clear dark amber with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, bread and some fruitiness. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long caramel finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Schöne, mittelbraune trübe Farbe mit stabilem, beigem Schaum. Der Geruch ist schwer und vergoren-alkoholisch. Der Antrunk ist mild-weich und angenehm malzig. Zum Hauptteil hin entfaltet das Bier, das mit zwei Malzsorten, Koriander und Naturhopfen gebraut wird, ein tolles, malzig-weiches, abergleichzeitig schweres, würziges Aroma. Keine störenden Nebennoten, keine aufdringliche Süße. Der Nachgeschmack wird schön frisch und blumig-hopfig, aber nicht aufdringlich herb. Die Hefe sorgt für eine angenehme milde, eine alkoholische Note ist nicht zu schmecken. Der Nachgeschmack ist lang anhaltend, malzig-süßlich und angenehm herb-abgewogen. Dazu leichte Kräutertöne vom Koriander.
--> Ein klasse Bruin – sehr lecker und sehr empfehlenswert!

Bottle shared with Jmgreenuk. Pours brown with a tan head. Aroma of heavy caramel, treacle, toffee, butterscotch. Flavour is over moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Pretty well balanced as the aroma suggests major heavy sweetness that doesn’t appear in the palate. Medium bodied with light carbonation.

330ml bottle from Antwerp and tasted on the Belgian railway tasting. Poured a hazy dark brown with a big frothy white head. The aroma is toffee treacle and a little yeast. The flavour is medium bitter light sweet with a toffee weak liqourice bitter bubbly zesty palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. One of the nicest Bruin beers I’ve tasted.
