Grimbergen Optimo Bruno

Brewed by Brasserie Union (Alken-Maes / Heineken)
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Jumet, Belgium

This is heavy stuff! Brown reddish color with long standing off white head. Aroma is slight sour with a full sweetness. The feeling in the mouth is heavy very sweet with notes of caramel and quite a lot of alcohol.

bbf 06-09. clear dark brown, small yellowishbrown head. aroma is sour, and acid. strange... flavor is your typical real good belgian quad, add a few spoons of vinagre.. strange... i guess the sourheads will praise this one, if it is intended to be like this. nuts, sweet brown sugar, dark fruits (delicate), sour notes (hence the vinagra). half a drop of tabasco for bitterness. if this beer had not been sour it woul’ve been very very good.

(Dégusté avec french tickler) Une biere de couleur rougatre avec un mince collet moyennement collant. Odeur d’alcohol, cerises, prunes, vinaigre et sucre. Gout un peu sucré, alcohol et raisins.
