Bink Bruin

An almost opaque brown beer with a nice brown head, leaving a slight laze on the glass. The aroma is sweet nutty and malty, but also with slight notes of yeast and caramel. The flavor is quite sweet with notes of wood, nuts, nutmeg, caramel, and yeast. The end is dry with a slight hint of citrus from the hops. I find the mouthfeel a bit thin.

Bottled. Mahogany colour, clear, smallish head. Deep raisniny aroma with obvious smokiness. Dry and fruity with light body and soft mouthfeel. Salty, smokey finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Originally Kerkom produced only two beers: Bink Bruin and Bink Blond. They were both simply called "Bink", shared the same label and you could only tell the difference from the different coloured caps. I believe that explains the rating from "jbrus" of a beer simply called "Bink". I believe it’s the Bink Bruin. Nowadays Kerkom is a bit more sophistiticated in the way they present their beers. Anyways, this is dark brown, very unclear - almost muddy. Some maltiness and slightly roasted notes. A touch of sweetness. Not exactly a great beer but pleasant and easy to drink due to the low alcohol. 100198
