Grimbergen Optimo Bruno

A light amber beer with no head. It has no aroma. The flavor is very sweet, a bit sour and ending on a slight bitterness. An OK beer but nothing much.

Bottled at Belgobaren, STockholm. Clear nut brown, brief head. Raisiny malty nose with some peppery alcohol. Sweet and vinous, with slimmer body than expected for a 10% beer. Somewhat fruity with light almondy notes. Salty finish with a touch of spicy bitterness. Interesting nose, but I’d like more character in a beer of this size.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden beer, extremely full-bodied. Sweet, very sweet - no sickeningly sweet with some late hoppiness to prevent me from spewing. If you consider this as a dessert-beer it might have some raison d’etre. 300695

Bright brown sugary colour. Aroma of peach, dates and brown sugar. The body is thin and simple for a beer this size. Only a slght hint of alcohol. Soft dark fruit notes. Too sweet and one-dimensional. Less than the sum of its parts, and that’s due to lack of bottleconditioning.

33 cl bottle. Pours brown with little off white head. Aroma is malt and classical belgian yeast. Taste is malty, slight metallic and strong alcohol notes blended with fruity wineous notes
