Clear deep amber colour, good frothy beige head, diminishing slowly, leaves yeast patches, light lacing. Light sour aroma, malts, cherries, strawberries, cinnamon. Taste medium sweet and light bitter, malty, bit toffee, light sour on the palate, fruity. Medium body, watery to oily texture, average carbonation, aftertaste dry bitter, dusky, chalk, again bit more sour in the finish, peculiar rather complex brew, interesting.

The dark one in the sugar-free series and like its blonde predecessor, very low in calories. Yellowish beige head, darkish amber colour with chestnut hue, not really dark contrary to what the label says. Aroma of caramel, nuts, strawberry, yoghurt, pepper; taste very dry, bit sourish, bit of iron, woody malts, dried fruits, finishing in a dry-hopped, aromatic bitterishness. Too dry and thin for my taste.

Bottle @ De Fiere Margriet, Leuven. Brown colour, white foam. Too much carbonation. Aroma of roasted malts with dark fruits. A sour note and metallic taste. Not good.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons. Calais. Light brown colour. Malt is pretty tasty. Hmmmm. I have had a couple of Belgian brunes recently after going ages without having one and I have decided I really like them. Some estery flavours. Very characterful and interesting and drinkable.

33cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Very hazy dark red, almost purple color, small beige head that leaves fair lacing. Smells like yoghurt, a bit sour and lightly malts. Taste malts, hint of light sourness, slight hint of fruit. Medium carbo, low to medium body.

Bottle thx to benzai. Dark, hazy ruby colour with black particles, like a teabag broke inside the glass, with a small white head. Smells sourish, yoghurt, malts, herbs. Tastes fresh, also some yoghurtness, red fruits and malts. Good carbo, thin to medium body.

33cl Brown bottle, same as everyone else, normal cap, but with the ’flip-top’ holes in the long neck: poured slowly into my Augustijn chalice in Sep 2011. Don’t think any sediment left the bottle, the beer looked grand anyway: clear, deep amber in colour, the full head an off-white hue. Rows of bubbles rising through the body to enhance the already impressive crown on top. I found Almounds in the smell, earthy malts rather than sweet ones, Belgian yeasts also add their own twist to the aroma. I’ve struggled with some Belgian Brown Ales, but this isn’t as sweet compared to a lot of them: well balanced and very easy to drink it belies the mith of uber sweet Belgian Browns, bloody pleased. The alcohol content is well contained within the brew and adds to it’s complexity without taking away any of the many attributes of the beer. In short, a lot better than I thought it was going to be!
