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.

Red color. Quite simple but enjoyable, with some sweetness deriving from the cherry syrup.

2008-12-28, bottle at Highlander, Parma, 7-5-7-3-13=35
Dark brown color with red shades; nice creamy head. Caramel aroma, alcoholic too. Medium body in the beginning, thinner later, with a strong flavor of mature caramel, light alcohol feeling, correct bitterness. Unimpressive.
2004-07-02, bottle, 8-5-8-4-16=41
Dark color, huge head. Mature aroma of malt and caramel, notes of roasted barley. Sweet and well malty, with a good liquorice touch; alcohol-warming; full mouthfeeling. Maybe too sweet for the most, but a good bomb beer.

An unclear pale yellow beer with a fantastic white head. The aroma is very fruity with hints of coriander. The flavor is very sweet malty with notes of coriander and yeast and a dry end. The flavor turns extremely yeasty when the yeast is poured into the glass.

A clear amber beer until You pour the yeast, which turns it unclear - it has an OK head. The flavor is sweet yeasty. The flavor is dominated by yeast but also contains notes of sweet malt and grapefruit. This is way too yeasty for my liking.

Lightly hazy blonde with a spicey and gum balloon aroma, with a touch of alcohol. Nice malt and hops combination with a pleasant alcohol warmth. Good bodied and balance. Ugly Pirate though. Merci a MT.

Pale lager with a strong head, dry malty aroma and a dry but ultimately sweet finished flavour. Overall OK but not better than average.

This is a good beer with a nice alcohol content that does not show in the taste. Nice and thick and a very dark brown color. There is a sweetness character to this beer. The only problem I have with it is that the label is always falling off the beer, whats up with that.

Bottle, 8-5-5-3-13=34
Orange to light amber color; fine stormy perlage, supporting the giant head. Dry and spicy aroma, strong coriander character, wonderful Triple. Ordinary malty flavor a bit sweet, but with an unpleasant ammonia touch (it’s the first time I encounter ammonia in a beer! I try to limit this burden in my rating).
Keg, 6-4-7-3-14=34
Orange to light amber color. Peculiar aroma: malt, caramel, a bit flowery, fudge… Sweet, malty, light fruitness. Strange, original, interesting.
