Commercial Description:
Bruegel is an easy drinking soft and tasty amber ale. Thanks to the refermentation it offers more body, more head and more taste than most other American and Belgian Amber ales. It is brewed with Dutch barley and German hops. Although the bitterness is clearly present, it is not dominant.

This beer was poured into a snifter with no head at all. There was a strong nutty smell to it and it has an amber color to it. It tastes like an almond nutty beer very good though.

Pours a light amber color, thin foamy head. Average beer, nothing too special about this, but I wasn’t bad at all. Semi sweet and smooth finish.

(bottle, from bierkoning - thanks!) Clear, amber colour with a short, but persistent off-white foamy head. Sweet toast-malty with aromatic notes of caramel and cacao. Moderately sweet flavour, medium body, smooth carbonation. Toast-malty taste with caramel, cacao, light notes of liquorice and subtle fruity notes, getting only a bit stronger towards the finish, turning out to be also slightly nutty, moderately sweet with a light bitterness. Okay, easy going.

Lots of toffee and some buttery popcorn in the aroma. Dark copper body with a light to medium palate. Light toffee flavors, watery, with some burnt popcorn in the aftertaste. Not good.
