Mahogany in color, malt-centric with dark fruit aroma, Grotius is brewed in the same abbey tradition as our Erastus and Dr. Oovert. While of lower gravity than these other Trappist-inspired beers, it is supremely flavorful.

Reviewed from notes.
Crowler to chalice, the appearance was a semi-dark amber color with a lasting finger and a half’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Light stringy lace.
The aroma had some dark fruit, light amount of Belgian sugar, light grassy hops, dark bread, light butterscotch and ended with a little bit of earthy to herbal qualities.
The flavor moderately leaned towards the sweet side and brought in a little bit of damp sweet wood. Aftertaste was semi-sweet and somewhat \"doughy.\" Finish was herbal with a little bit of sweet wood and dark fruit.
The palate was medium bodied with a good sipping quality about it. Sly carbonation but felt fine. ABV felt as projected.
Overall, it’s alright as is, but I was hoping for some \"apples\" and a little bit of Belgian spice. Might have again for me, but not really that close in style, to be honest.

On tap at the source. Deep ruby brown with a good sized off white head that persists. Deep caramel prune raisin and dried cherry with a hint of warming. Vry tay well made beer.

My first crowler! Thanks to Adam! Canned, 11/27/15, drunk 11/28/15.
Pours a highly clear amber-copper with a beige head that is fully diminishing.
Clove, caramel and light vanilla, with mild fruitiness of golden raisins and light white pepper phenols. Not incredibly aromatic, but clean and no banana to be found.
Brown bread, light acidity and lots of white pepper. Low but creamy carbonation and a soft texture. Sweetness is apparent but attenuation is good and it comes off richly malted and yet nicely dry, with an herbal bitterness and peppery phenols on the end. Very clean, elegant and in perfect condition, as Schilling’s beers almost always are.

32 oz. Crowler, thanks to AdamC. Copper in color with full full head. Aroma is herbal spicy yeast, clove, herbal dried corn husk.

Flavor has decent yeast presence with an herbal bite in the finish. Balance of the malt is through the spicness of the yeast. I enjoyed this and interesting take on the style, kind of like a hybrid.

Poured from crowler thanks AdamChandler. Pours amber caramel with a thin head. Aromas of floral tones and light malt. Taste is herbal and slightly spicy but not overwhelming.

Light florals and light malt but really not much else to this. Pours orange with decent head and lacing. Easy drinking, but not much of a dubbel. Tap at Armsby Abbey.

Fire-like red ale crimson hues, head that fades fast. light nose, maybe some tree fruit of some kind. hard to pinpoint. Great explosive mouthfeel. almost creamy. Taste is also really good. You have a lot of coriander, honey, pecans, a little bit of apple cider and honeycomb.
