Ottima ottima e ancora ottima birra scura! Aroma e sapore esagerato!

750ml bottle in Corsendonk tulip glass. Pours dark with an active foamy head which recedes quickly but leaves 1/2 a finger of foam on top which adheres and laces considerably. Aroma is Belgium malty yeasty smell but with sourness. Taste has that Belgian dryness. Very slight subtle alcohol bite, alcohol is otherwise well hidden, slight alcohol aftertaste. As it warms up and your palate gets accustomed the sweetness and flavors are more obvious. Tasty.

Pours deep brown with some hazyness. Aroma is bubblegum, caramel, brown sugar and citrus. Taste is sweet with some light and faint bitters. Medium mouthfeel that is very smooth.

Pours a deep brown color with aroma of clean bubbles and carbonation. Taste is sweet caramel and berries. A lovely scotch ale that resembled a brown ale with a sweet alcohol aftertaste. A tasty surprise of a beer.

Nice pour, carbonation, thick foamy head, dark in color. Taste is similar to a scotch ale but with a belgian flare to it, has a bit of a farmhouse taste to it, belgian yeast definitely present. All in all a pretty solid beer, I would recommend it.

Tawny port notes in a russet-rosy coloured body with a latte coloured rocky head. Wholemeal bread aromas with a bit of chocolate. Fresh and peppery and very savoury characters (toilet bleach?) Tastes sweeter (than toilet bleach obviously) with a good filling mouthfeel. Additional flavours of cinnamon, cocoa and hot cross buns. The flavour endures in a chocolate pastry character. Very tasty, can I have another?

This Belgium Brown ale is a little bitter on the innitial taste but a twist for a nice palate after! It poors dark brown with a big pillowy head. After finishing this bottle (especially if you drink the 75cl bottle) you will be ready for the pillow.

Pours a very dark, opaque brown with a white head that stick around. Smells of herbs and resin hops. Very sweet almost candy taste. Light, fluffy body with a fizzy thin texture. A very god belgian ale. I will be revisiting this brew again.
