Bohemia Confraria

Brewed by InBev Brasil
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Bottled 550ml. Amber color with a white quickly fading head. Aroma of malt and yeast with honey notes. Flavor is malty. Nice mouthfeel. Some hopness in the end.

From a 550 ml bottle in my hotel room in Rio de Janeiro. First of all it fobbed like an infecected home brew, so I wasn’t expecting much. I was mildly surprised. I t had the right yeast flavor, but the malt was too sweet. It seemed like they added lactose to it. It didn’t have the bite that an abbey needs. There was no complexity. Nice if you can’t get Chimay or Duval (and you can for a big time price in RJ). In the end...not enough complexity, weak after taste, and for what it is, too expensive. If you are in Brazil long term...enjoy. If not, wait.

The color is brown-copper, it looks like "guaraná" (a cooler that is made from a braziliana fruit). It has a collapsing head that desappears in few seconds. The aroma is very pleasant, reminding honey and malt, its very notable and the best thing in this beer. The taste is sweet and has an oats and malt flavour. The aftertaste is very dry and a little bitter, nothing special, it is a weak aftertaste. Besides that its too expensive. We really prefer the sweetness of Bohemia Schwarz.

550ml bottle in Rio de Janeiro. Dark amber body with a fluffy white head. Fruity nose, with tones of peach, banana and orange peel with clove. Sweet bready first taste, developping into a more plum like. A nice balance at the end with some bitter hops hinted. Very round mouthfeel, makes it easy to drink it, with the sweetness hiding the alcohol quite well. A nice Dubbel from Brazil. Surprising !

Very good beer! I must admit, it’s the first abbey beer I ever tried, and I liked it very much. It’s a little sweetened and strong, oats taste is clear but soft. This beer looks like a colored honey and it’s head goes away quickly. The bootle is very very beautifull.
