Description
Founded in 1784 by Jean Baptiste De Bruin and still a family brewery to this day; known as Brouwerij Schelfaut until 1919, when the name was changed to Brouwerij Bios by Paul Van Steenberge, who became the head of the operation in 1922. Currently operated by his great-grandson Jef Versele (since 1998). Underwent many technical upgrades and expansions since then, most notably in 2017 when new buildings were installed and production capacity was significantly increased.

Cloudy deep amber with a beautiful two finger off-white frohty head. Toasted malt, lovely dried apricot esters, spicy notes, burnt sugar, subtle calvados & oak barrel, some hop. Light sweet & bitter. Warming alcohol. A nice example of making a good beer more complex by barrel aging instead of ruining it.

0.75 bottle many thanks to Lore. Hazy orange body with a white head. Aroma is when you drop a burning cigarre into a shot of whiskey. It's unreal how smoky it is. Taste of orange zest, whiskey, nutmeg and some floral hops. The taste is way more balanced than the aroma. Very nice.
