Hazy brown color with small beige head. Aroma is sweet malts, spicy yeasts, bananas. Taste is sweet malts, bananas, some chocolate and roastiness. High carbonation. Nearly like a dark Weizenbock. Not bad.

Bottle shared by the brewer, cheers Bruno! Thick and rocky, pale yellowish beige, lacing head over a very dark burgundy coloured beer, but still completely translucent, lightly hazy. Pleasant aroma of toffee, milk chocolate, candied fig, dry banana, bayleaf, peach, pepper, liquorish, some beef stock and indeed a very subtle whiff of coffee powder - perhaps a tad too subtle to my personal taste. Restrained candied and light banana sweetness in the mouth, not cloying and well balanced with subtle sourish and umami hints, touch of dried porcini, but the sweetness dominates, also further on in the mouth as a smooth, caramelly malt sweetness builds up, evolving quickly to bittersweet and toasted (rather than roasted coffeeish, actually); soft spicy notes and a dash of mild, herbal hops round things off, while the alcohol remains warming, but otherwise as good as unnoticeable. The coffee, subtly applied here, shows up only after swallowing, when indeed a light, genuine coffee powder flavour sticks to the back of the tongue. Probably the best of Bruno’s beers in my opinion, but more a coffee-flavoured dubbel or quad than any kind of stout. Enjoyable, certainly now that the beer is matured on extra coffee powder as originally it was only added to the boil; now the beer contains more lively coffee aromas, making it considerably more interesting.

Spiced tripel from this new home brewery, made in honour of the brewer’s goddaughter and named after her. Generously shared by Bruno along with his other beers, cheers man! This one had a thick, lacing, egg-white head and deep amber colour with coppery hue, lightly hazy. Aroma of caramel, roasted peanuts, cloves, field flowers, gin, sweet red curry, cloves, dried berries. Fruity onset with hints of peach, apple peel and redcurrant, medium carbo, honeyish and caramelly malt body, sweet with bitterish toasted edges and a bit nutty; curry-like soft and sweet, but clear spiciness builds towards the end without overpowering too much, caramelly sweetness lingers along with a hint of whisky-like alcohol; hops are there, but more structurally than bittering, apparently intentionally so, so as not to interfere too much with the spice combo (as in Brunn’s other four beers). I am not a big fan of spice beers, but this is very enjoyable.

The first beer from this new brewery in my own Waasland region, spiced with native European spices (in the style of gale, yarrow and the like). Thick, stable, lacing, off-white head over a hazy amber coloured beer with ochre hue - not a true ’brown’ beer as such, but the name refers not to the colour, but to the brewer’s own name (Bruno). Aroma of peach, pineapple, dried tomato, chicken broth, gin, a lot of field flowers (chamomille, yarrow), raw celery, honey and a very faint presence of DMS, but subtle enough not to bother me too much. Fruity, peachy onset, sweetish, some banana, softish carbo, supple caramelly and bit bready malt body with a light toasted bitter accent, light gin-like alcohol warmth in the finish with, expectedly, soft, floral and honeyish, ethereal spice sweetishness fitting well into the basic structure. Spice beers are a sensitive subject as far as I’m concerned, I guess I had too many of them which were exaggeratedly spiced and though they are clearly undeniable in this one and their other beers, I do find them well integrated here. Cheers Bruno!

Spice beer from a brand new micro brewery in Beveren, which happens to have been set up by a man I have known personally for twelve years or so... Tasted at his home. Thick, lacing, egg-white, well-retaining head, peach blonde colour, lightly hazy. Aroma of green banana, apricot, straw, pineapple and a mixture of spices which is difficult to pinpoint, but mostly reminded me of gale (think Gageleer and the like), well integrated without overpowering; some unfortunate DMS (cooked white cabbage) as well. Fruity, sweetish onset, hints of banana and peach with a light basic sourishness, medium carbo, somewhat resinous mouthfeel, pleasantly soft caramelly malt sweetness with a honeyish edge, and of course the spices hovering above all this, again mostly reminiscent of gale retronasally and pairing well with both the fruitiness and a restrained, earthy hop bitterish touch in the end. The inspiration for this brewery’s beers comes from Viking culture and indeed only spices native to northern and western Europe are being used, some of which are not often seen in beer. Interesting idea and apart from the DMS, which I am admittedly very sensitive to, this is decently made.
