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.

Old rating from 02-10-16 - 330ml bottle picked up on my trip to Belgium last year. Pours at home in Jersey, it's dark brown colour with beige foamy head that lasts and leaves lacing. The aroma is rich of flavour which include caramel, dried fruit, raisins & figs. Taste is on the thick & slight sweet malty side with caramel, dried fruits, plums, cloves, raisins & hints of spice. Aftertaste has a slightly dry finish, alcoholic warmth and complex fruitiness with a low to medium bitterness. Full body, moderate carbonation. Considering the high alcohol content, it is very well hidden. I'm pleasantly surprised just how good it was & certainly would have it again.

From Delhaize, Waterloo. Another souvenir from the city after attending the battle reenactment.
Appearance: Golden colour. Medium head that floats in mounds on the center of the glass.
Flavour/aroma:Deep coriander, lemon, apple malts.
Others: Medium to full body.
Observations: Alcohol hell hidden. Straightforward and simple for the style. Quite refreshing. Not a bad choice. Would buy again
