Gruut Brown is our cuvee with a pleasant, smooth beginning and a never experienced, persistent aftertaste coming from a mixture of nuts. Recently we have adjusted our Gruut brown so now it is completely gluten free.

Bottled. Deep rubyish brown colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is dried fark fruits, figs, some herbs and mild earthy elements. Flavour is sweet malts, some caramel, raisins, mild figs and some toffee tones. Sweet malty and dried fruity aftertaste.

On tap at brewery tap Ghent. Dark brown beer. Lasting cream head. Diacetyl on aroma. Base beer is not attenuated. brewed too fast so too much residual sugar and diacetyl so no rest. this is not a good brewery. how it survives is amazing. some sweetness on end. diacetyl throughout at least the 8 per cent alcohol is warming. slightly creamy. someone needs to come in and shake this place up. lazy and poorly produced and served.
