Sep 30, 2008 75cl corked 2005 bottle. Pours a dark brown colour with light sediment and a short white head. Very spicey aroma with a little sugar too. Flavour was nice but finished a little sour and the mouthfeel was a little thinner than expected. Good but not great.
FishManLA (182), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA
Sep 29, 2008 Deep reddish brown with a medium sized long-lasting head. Nose of raisins and prunes. Taste of dark fruits, nuts, sugar, and bread, like fruitcake. Bitter/sweet fruit and nut finish. This for sale in USA bottle was labeled "Grotten Brown, Pierre Celis Signature Selection" and the ABV of this batch is stated to be 6.7% on the bottle. From Brouwerij St. Bernard (so I’m confident I identified it correctly). Label graphics are essentially identical to the picture here.
