Brugge Festival 2008. Hazy pale gold, thin cream head. Green hop aroma. Spicy pepper hop, really bitter and hoppy. Finishing bitterness is very noticeable. Not a great aroma, bit of urine even, but mouthfeel and finish are excellent. tingling on the tongue finish.

Black, big off white head. Aroma of roasted malt. Flavor of malt, nuts, raisins, plums. Very subtle and complex mix of flavors. Smooth bitter finish. Not overwhelming or in your face like American stouts. A winner.

Bottle at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Dark brown colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly acidic nose with notes of dark fruit, oak wood, earthy cellar and balsamic vinegar hints leaning in the sour ale direction. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit, raisins, prunes and brown sugar with a slightly acidic and woody touch. Medium body, modest bitterness with a sweet and sour touch. Really complex and nice.

courtesy of Tony @ OTH. Pours a ruby/amber, tan head. Aroma has the good connotation of Belgian yeast. Taste is filled with some nice dark fruits (cherry, raisin). Loaded with good dark sugar. Amazing seasonal beer, hard to put down.

33cl bottle @ Boysen, Odense. Pours dark brown with a stable handsome creamy brown head. Nose is inviting of nuts, sugar, caramel & yeast. Medium boided & smooth mouthfeel. Taste is a bit metallic, yet ok, but it is def. the nose that wins. Allround & Ok Belgium Bruin!

Bottled. Lightly hazy golden, rich head. Strong coriander aroma. Sweet and juicy, lightly yeasty. Coriander and curacao dominates. Soft and drinkable, to a tad sweet.

The bottle looks really great, the beer in the glass also. Starts strong and malty, woody and scratchy in the background. Finish a bit milder, warming maltiness. Good beer!
