Fles gekocht in België, thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een licht troebel goudgeel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een fruitige en hoppige geur. De smaak is zoet, tropische vruchten, hoppig en licht bitter in de afdronk.

Basic Belgian 'bruin' by Anders, apparently produced in only very small quantities and with modest ambitions, as hardly any information is to be found about it... Thanks to tderoeck for this bottle! Thick and frothy, paper-lacing, dense, irregularly edged, pale yellowish beige, stable head on a misty dark chocolate brown beer with mahogany hue. Aroma of crumbled dry cookies and chocolate crisps, ground pecan nuts, caramel candy, old dry brownies, nutmeg, touch of coffee grounds, iron shavings, dry tea bags, young 'jenever', fig, chestnut, cinnamon hint, black pepper, dry leather, treacle. Sweetish onset, blonde-sugary without being sticky, slightly sourish too, dried dates and prune aspects with even a hint of pear syrup but generally remarkably low in esteriness; fizzy carb, smooth and slightly resinous mouthfeel. Chestnutty, brown-bready, very caramelly middle, sweetish with a very mildly bittering toasty edge as well as a clear metallic aspect. Light spicy notes (nutmeg, clove) in the finishing stage, with a late floral hop bitterness accompanying the toasty aspect of the malts; the metallic 'zing' lingers on a bit, but so do the sweet dried fruit-like aspects. Sweet in general, but quickly bittering too, acquiring a remarkable balance between both basic flavours; feels more slick and 'easy' than a dubbel at the upper end of the style's ABV range should feel, with that metallic accent being the only negative aspect I can mention. Unusually 'clean' and 'un-yeasty' for a Belgian brown ale, too, in fact coming closer to Anglo-Saxon style brown ale, which is what I would have identified this beer with in a blind tasting... Quite unexpectedly good, actually, or at least better than anticipated.
