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.

Das braune (bruin) Gruut ist sehr stark gemalzt, was sich in einem süßen Geschmack niederschlägt. Es ist zwar nicht wie die vielen zu süßen dunklen österreichischen BIere, aber eine Verwandtschaft lässt sich nicht bestreiten. Interessant, aber es gibt was besseres.

330ml bottle. Clear reddish brown colour with small to average, firm, frothy, moderately lacing, off-white head. Dark malty aroma has notes of dark berries, milk chocolate, decent dry, leather-like overtone. Taste is minimally sourish with dark fruity notes, plum, later dry with a leather touch, also some yeast. A composition with flavours that could do but don’t.

Bottled 330ml (Drink Shop, Tallinn, BB 05/2012)
Dark nut brown, ruby color, small off-white head. Dried dark fruits, dates, raisins, a bit papery. Medium-bodied. Raisins, dates, some caramel, somewhat cardboardish. Sweetish, malty. BB-date is soon, so maybe some kind of ageing noticed here. Decent, styleish abbey dubbel.

33 cl. bottle split @ home – thx a lot to Tim (tderoeck) for this one – pours a bordeaux hued dark brown with a tanned head – smell is heavy on the spices with the large number of them creating a balanced spices goodness without rough edges, the spices are combined with typical Belgian malts and slight dark fruits – the dark fruits come out a touch stronger in the taste coupled with the balanced out, slightly sweet spices, touch of berries before the finish, Belgian malts with a slight hint of caramel – medium bodied and carbonated – a nice one and definitely a very interesting experiment

Bottle, 8%. Brown sugar and cream aroma. Cloudy dark brown colour. Small creamy light brown head. The flavour is creamy and papery. Has a little CO2 note in the finish. Fruity finish in a good way. Quite clean for a Belgian beer.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Gruut Bruin (by Gentse Stadsbrouwerij Gruut):
Aroma: 8/10, Appearance: 4/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 4/5, Overall: 15/20, MyTotalScore: 3.8/5
10/08/2011 on tap @ Gruut brewery (2011-376)
Cloudy purple to red brown (rusty) beer, beige aery head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of caramel, dried fruits, pretty nutty too, chocolate sweetness, sweet malts, very inviting. MF: ok but light carbon, medium to full body. Taste: caramel, bit bready, fruity, red berries, toasted malts, surprisingly sweet-sour ending, like cola, but not bad. Aftertaste: bit sour first, fruits, roasted malts, mocha.
