Labeled as Grotten Brown, at 6.7% abv. Aroma is moderately malty with a bit of grassy hops, light yeast and some corinander. Large, frothy, light brown head, which diminishes into white caps and a ring. Muddy, dark brown body. Taste is water and a bit bland for St. Bernardus. Yeasty and somewhat boring finish. Watery mouthfeel, lively carbonation, and a copper feel to the finish.

330 ml bottle @ Bishops Arms in Jonkoping, Sweden.
Pours hazy brown deep red. Head is begie. It has a very beautiful appearance in the proper glass. Aroma is loaded with strawberry, sweet malt, rubber, caramel. It´s little winous but not sour. The mouthfeel is little bubbly and big. Taste is from burnt sugar, syrup, dark berrys and caramel malt. St. Bernard Brouwerij delivers another fine brew!!

brown burgundy color and medium fluffy head. toffee and spice bread aroma. surprisingly thin body. burnt sugar and maple maltiness with dark raisins and bready clove notes. it is a lot simpler than their other beers, its ok but the St. Bernardus beers are better

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2008 Heavy caramel and sugar aroma. It has a sugary taste with some sweet malt and syrupy finish with a hint of cherry. No lace present. Very mellow beer. I could drink a lot of this very complex beer.

0.25l Bottle. Blueberry, caramel, brown sugar and date aroma. Hazy red, off-white layer. Brown sugar edges, almond, the fruits to a lesser degree, somewhat dry, finishing on a metallic date-sweet note. Mellow, light sparkly mouthfeel. Pleasant but not overwhelming.

Nice reddish browm color. Creamy white head that was held for a while. Nice malty (to me) aroma. Slightly sour taste with a bitter finish. Good, but I’ve had better.

On tap at Max’s. Dark brown with white head. Chocolate malt aroma. Slight citrusy sourness to start. Gives way to bitter alcohol finish. Wasn’t a big fan of it.

Called Grotten Flemish Brown Cave Aged, on tap at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore during Belgian fest. Translucent, deep brown with a slim white head. Fruity, slightly rummy, malty aroma. Flavor is of dark fruit, plums, dark candy, grains,cheese and rather earthy. Texture is creamy and a little chewy. Cave aged? I guess, but it was alright no matter where it was aged.
