Explodes out of bottle, took 5 minutes to pour, fades slowly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Murky amber color, ton of yeast in bottom of bottle. Strong carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Raisin nose. Flavor is sweet and sour raisins, smooth easy to drink, this small bottle is not enough.

From a dated bottle: Different from most Belgian bruins. Aromas and flavors overwhelmed by grapes, more like a lambic than a bruin. "Lively" carbonation and dark pour. Not even close to what I expected, but in the long run, a very unique and enjoyable experience.

Poured in the Bavik Pilaar Trappist glass. Muddy chestnut brown pour with really nice foamy head and foam lacing. Pleasant toasty slight spice aroma that moves into a nice pallet filler. Smooth with malts and grains with that Belgian Dubbel full flavor and no real bitterness. Liked this better than the blonde. Excellent Belgian, really enjoyed it and I will look for more.

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2012 bruin bier, van gebrand mout en gerstenmout.
mooie volle schuimkraag met redelijk koolzuurgehalte,.
mooie elegante bitterzoete, kruidige en karamelachtige smaak, die in de nasmaak lang romig zoet/bitter blijft hangen.
prima

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 Eyedrinkale (3214) - Astoria, New York, USA - JUL 29, 2005
33 cl bottle, ’03. Gigantic, rocky tan head with yeasties, sits on top of a brown body. Taste is tangy right away with some dried grape and chocolate. The head takes up half the glass, so ya gotta be careful pouring. Listed on RB as a Belgian Ale, the label states it’s a tripel. Not getting enough sweetness for that, but oh well. Some candy sugars are evident with medium carbonation. An enjoyable beer I’d drink again.
