Deus Brut des Flandres

Brewed by Brouwerij Bosteels
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Buggenhout, Belgium

This is interesting. It looks like champange with lots of bubbles that rise up from the bottom of the glass. The color is honey-amber. I also smell honey. Wait... are we sure this isn’t a bubbly mead? I’m getting a lot of honey in the nose. And alcohol. Citrusy. Some subtle spice. The taste is identical. Another reviewer mentioned cinnamon, and I definitely taste the cinnamon. Nice dry finish. I want to go back for more after each sip. Overall a great beer!

Pours a lightly hazy golden orange with a foamy white head that laced. Aroma was very floral, some medicinal notes, light citrus, champagne and herbal. Flavor of citrus, champagne, herbal and floral.

Bottle for new years(decade)! Golden pour with white head, almost looks like champagne. Aroma is tart and of spices and fruit. Flavor doesn’t carry as much sour potency, more just of dry fruit. However warming is nice, and not too heavy for 11%. Just pretend you are drinking really good champagne.

Champange style beer. Nice bottle and nice carbonation. Dark Golden colour. Nice Effervence , nice smell not wheathy but nice fruitty smells. I want to compare it with Champagne but i can not they are so different as a taste and colour...

750ml 2005 bottle. Pours a lightly fogged gold with a bubbly white head that turns to a small ring. Nose holds yeast and honey butter. Big carbonation and tingly mouth feel, slightly boozy.

This was my first champagne beer and it didn’t disappoint. The beers pours a golden color with a huge fluffy white head. The beer has many small bubbles like champagne and the bubbles remained during the entire time it was in the glass. The smell is of lemons and malt and the taste was similar, with some yeast in there as well. For a beer that was 11.5% ABV, the alcohol is nearly completely hidden. The beer didn’t taste like champagne, but the high carbonation made it feel like champagne as you drank it. This is an expensive beer and is not an every day drinker, but for a special occasion, I don’t think you can go wrong with DeuS.

This beer is a very special case. I ve tasted it twice but unfortunately i didn’t like it both times. I like the aroma and the aftertaste, but the whole package is very weird for me. I ll try once more ...

From bottle shared by awiseman. Nose is bready and spicey. Pours translucent goldend with small white head. Tastes of cloves and other spices (cinnamon perhaps?). Sharp and bubbly. Gotta be honest, i’m not a big fan. If there’s one think we learned from WWII, its that Belgians has no business in Champagne...
