Kasteelbier Donker

Nice dark brown, almost black, appearance, with a creamy disappearing tan head. Quite strong notes of over ripe fruits, malty sweetness, but not that clean. Slight buttery notes and ethilic waves punches nose as it warms in its horrible original glass. Very complex in mouth but way too sweet for me.

Interesting beer. Tastes like sweet dark fruit and a little bit of spices. Light, slightly alcoholic finish. Smooth, full bodied, and lightly carbonated. Tastes like a sweet port wine. Complex taste.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a very dark amberish brown with a small tan head and a thin smell of malts. Taste is mostly sweet, really it is too sweet, lots of honey and candy sugar. Some malts and alcohol too, but the sweetness ruins a lot

Pours very dark brown almost black with small off white head that lasts not quite long enough. Smells of sweet malt and a little spice and alcohol to me. Full body thats is smooth. Sweetness is definitely there as is the strong malt character which is not over powered by the alcohol (although it is strong). Very enjoyable and would be a great winter warmer.

Brown/black with a moderate head. The aroma has notes of caramel and fruit in a rather complex combination. The flavour has sweetness and notes of caramel, raisins, dates and other fruits. The alcohol isn’t very obvious. A really nice and complex one.

Very malty aroma’s from draft. Good steady foam, off white creamy apperance. To sweet to make it drinkable, to heavy in alcohol. For me to overpowering due to the alcohol. Can be a good beer to rest for a few years, and see how it develops.

Nov. 25, 2007; 1/9.4 bottle. Dark, porter-like appearance. Spicy, fig/alcohol aroma. Sugary-sweet malt & fruit flavors dominate the taste. The sweetness is nearly-overpowering -- the only obvious flaw of this beer. With a little more hop profile, this would make a decent Quadrupel. Very much a dessert/apertif-type brew that would be a good substitute for the obligatory port after a fine European-style meal.. And, at 11%, it’ll put the lights out for you too. ;-)
