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.

In the beginning there were just sparkles of the typical tripel-taste. But after a while the flavour and especiallyt the palate became very good.

Malt nose. Full bodied with lots of malt and medium alcohol heat, but mine had some odd type of ''off'' flavor

[Keg] Red amber color, with a thin persistent collar. Good and easy to drink, because of some dryness and astringency (and a light oak note), but not impressive.

Bottle Clear, deep brown body. Rocky, lightly brown head, which lasts mostly. The aroma is very pronounced of burnt, toasted malts (coffee, molasses, ...). The aroma is not exactly what you would expect after just smelling it. In the beginning it is rather moderatey sweet, lightly bitter. In the end lightly sweet, lightly bitter. And it is quite nicely balanced as a quite sweet beer, with some interesting hints of malts.

Very heavy beer with it's 10.5 %, and the bad thing is you can taste them. Aroma is very good, malts, spices. Outstanding dark appearance. Very nasty bitter palate. --- Beer merged from original tick of Gulden Draak on 12 Mar 2018 at 22:16 - Score: 7

A light yellow beer with a great head - a very nice fruity aroma. The flavor is distinct with the alcohol content.

Bottled, 1997 vintage sampled in 2002. Mahogany colour, no head. Cognac aroma. Very malty, notes of caramel. Loads of toffee. Very mature with velvetty mouthfeel, and balanced sweetness. A rich and complex beer.
