Sehr süßer, herb plörriger Beginn. Milde Süße, süffig, blechern. Künstlich. 9/5/4/4/6/4

Pours very very dark brown ( nearly black ) with a bit of see trough, and caramel colored aspects. No real head. Smell is sweet, malty, simple. Taste is a hint of bitter, followed by sweet, sugarsyrup, some stevia in the back. very simple, too sweet. Wattery mouthfeel, ok carbo.

F: average size, brown, not good retention. C: dark, opaque. A: malty, metallic, hint of artificial caramel, light cola like. T: malty, sweet, caramel but quite watery, cola tones but not so sweet, hint of grassy bitterness, light body, normal carbonation, I don’t know for what or for who are such beer made, not good but price for big bottle is 85c, 75cl bottle from Carrefour in Etterbeek in Brussels.

Carrefour’s own table beer, from a 75 cl bottle. Very thick, stable, yellowish beige, bath foam-like but regularly shaped head, chestnut brown robe with burgundy hue, clear and translucent with fierce fizz rising up through the glass, sustaining the head. Aroma of caramel candy, Coca Cola, brown sugar, dried tea leaves, iron, aspartame, dried fruits, old cardboard. Straightforwardly sweet, very caramelly in an artificial, industrial kind of way, cola-like sugariness lingering but fortunately less cloying than actual cola and not really sticky, medium carbo, evidently thin and somewhat metallic, grainy middle still dominated by the sweet caramel and cola flavours, ascorbic sourish hint becoming more evident in the finish (making it even more cola-like), where hops are all but absent, making it end thin and watery. Very stereotypically sweet, one-dimensional, industrial table beer, somehow I liked this more than e.g. Piedboeuf Brune, but that is where it ends; serves its humble purpose I guess and I respect the specific functionality of an old school brown tafelbier, but clearly of lesser quality than e.g. Haacht’s own Maltosa / Very Diest, which I remember felt less industrial.

Nose is strongly metallic, very sweet caramel & cough syrup, metallic & artificial sweet. Taste is very sweet, thin artificial, medicinal, cough syrup, caramel syrup, very sweet herbal sweet, metallic,… Chemical, sweet, artificial & akin to drinking medicine. Pretty much what you would expect it to be which doesn’t make it good for me but should satisfy the intended market. Soft carbonation.
