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.

Kolor złoty, lekko przymglony. Piana biała, wysoka, trwała. Bardzo ładnie maluje ma szkle , znacząc niemal każde przechylenie kieliszka.
Aromat umiarkowanie słodki, wyraźnie słodowy, przyprawowy, drożdżowy, "belgijski", nutą owoców.
Smak wytrawny, przyprawowy. Goryczka umiarkowanie wysoka, średnio długa, na finiszu intensywniej przyprawowa.
Alkohol ładnie schowany. Wysycenie wysokie, choć za takim nie przepadam to tutaj pasuje. Tekstura nieco szorstka. Ciało średnie. Posmak średnio długi, wytrawny.

Pours a reddish brown with a large off-white head. Complex aroma of bready malts, dried dark fruits, raisins, cherry, plum, wine, caramel, syrup, yeast, brown sugar, cognac. Flavour is syrupy sweetness, dried fruit. Alcohol is rather noticeable, don’t say this dragon didn’t warn you. Carbonation is rather lively. Classy brew, excellent sipper.
