Grottenbier Bruin

Bomber @ Publick House, Brookline, MA, shared with ArcaneApollo. We were intrigued by the "cave-aged" description, and this beer did not disappoint. Pours a wonderful deep brown with a medium-sized white head. The aroma is candy sugar, with malt and slight fruit thrown in as well. Taste is heavily malty; the cave environment definitely added to the complexity of the beer. It is incredibly smooth on the palate, and you begin to notice fruit, spice, and hop notes toward the end. Great beer.

POured deep brown with a white head. Notes of sweet malt and molasses. The flavor of hops touch nicely in the finish and the palate.

Deep cobber colour with a thick white head. Caramel, sweet malt and alcohol. Caramel and a bit of hops with alcohol warmth in the cheeks

750ml - Red brown body. Fruity aroma with a light sweet flavor, with some spice. Nice Dubbel. I’d like to age a bottle for future comparison.

750ml bottle. Tulip glass. Deep amber with a thin head. Aroma was sweet and spicey. Tasted of dark fruit, spices, caramel, hint of chocolate and perhaps licorace.

Bottle sampled. Pours brown with ruby edges and an average size tan head. Aroma of spices, yeast, citrus, and dark fruit. The flavor is sweet, citrus, spices, and dark fruit. Decent body, good brew.

Smooth caramel, vanilla, and a pleasent metalic aroma. Pours brown/dark amber with a huge long lasting off white head. Heavy caramel malt, brown sugar, chocolate and creamy vanilla. Spicy notes, cinamon and a lot nutmeg. wow a lot going on, great beer!

750 ml. bottle...very carbonated, average brown Belgian, good at first sip but watery and bland aftertaste, more flavor would be good. This bottle I drank before aging so I may try again some other time.
