Had the Kasteel Brown. Very dark brown color, and a light brown foam. I love that beer, I had it quite a few times. But this one is very sweet and has a strong taste of chocolate, but the flavors are strong and always present and plesant. The only problem for me is that the foam does not stay long, but still a very excelent beer. If you like sweet beers you must try this one.

Draught at TND: Aroma is sweet with notes of yeast, spices, alcohol, medicine, malts, and sugar. Poured brown with a ruby hue in color and a small tan head. Clear. Sparkling. Small lacing. Flavor is medium to very sweet. Tastes of malts, caramel, maple syrup, candi sugar, and slight chocolate. Light to medium body. Thin, watery texture. Soft carbonation. Dry, sweet, sugary finish.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown, very little head. Nose is not too distinct, slightly sweet and toffee, as well as smells of alcohol a bit. Taste is very sweet, and complex, with bitterness coming in the middle before returning to a sweet finish. Nice complex beer, too sweet for me.

Split bottle with fatboy on January 16, 2009. Dark brown color with red hues. Clean body, nice light brown head. Banana/spice aroma with yeast. Not as caramelly as most Belgian brunes I’ve had... much more sour. Very sweet - cherry, molasses. Slick and thick going down. Leaves a sweet and sticky residue on the lips. Best enjoyed when warmed up a little...

Pours dark brown with reddish hues and a fully receding tan head. Aroma of higher alcohols, esters, bubble gum, pineapple, brown sugar. Mouthfeel is heavy with lush carbonation.

Dégusté avec french tickler le 16 octobre 2006. I had to buy a case of this gem... Very sweet subtile aromas, Caramel / toffee... Exploding sweet complexe flavors hard to pinpoint exactly ... There’s the obvious taste of alcohol in this 11% brown beauty but it doesn’t over power... Fanstaticly well balanced beer!
