Bottle. Aroma is sweet fruity and malty. Sweet, malty, fruity, bit spicy and alcoholic flavor. Hoppy sweet finish.

The pour reveals a clear brown color with a thick, diminishing, offwhite head. Interesting aroma of raisins, dates with toasted malt, smells a lot like a fruit cake. Good flavor of raisins, dates and toasted malt with a sweet finish. The body has a light to medium thickness with a liquorous texture and moderate carbonation. An interesting beer, I think that Optimo Bruno has seen better days but it’s still an enjoyable beer.

Bottled. Dark ruby red colour, small beige head. Aroma is raisins, malts and yeast. Flavour caramel malts, alcohol and some yeasty notes. The alcohol is hidden quite well, but has a little "stingy peak", which does fit in well with the flavour.

Bottle. Pours golden amber-brown with an off-white head. Sourish ‘winey’ aroma. Malt, bread, alcohol and slightly wooden notes. Sweetish malty flavour. Raisins, plums and bread. Has a whiskey-like touch. 30-12-06.

Much better than the dubbel and blonde. No estery fruitiness (banana, melon). Liqourice, maybe some anis. Quite nice, altho I drank this propably too cold.

Dark mahogany with little film head. Lightly sour with plums and berries in the aroma. Quite sweet and quite vinious with toffee flavours with tones of berries.

This is a tempting looking beer, pouring a clear brown body highlighted in orange and red, sporting a hefty beige head that laces the class nicely. It smells like a fruit flavored liquer, but I’m having trouble with the fruit. Tart Cherries? Some sour oranges? There’s a toffee sweetness in there, too. The flavor retains that fruity tartness, sourness. The alcohol pushes its way forward. Brown sugar tips its hat and shakes its hand with some caramel. The finish is hot and sticky sweet. Very nice. More!
