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.

This delicious beer pours an attractive deep amber colour with a medium sized vanilla head. IT has an initial sweet malted taste which finishes softly with caramel undertones.

Clear amber with a huge beige head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Has notes of caramel and spices. Flavour is caramelsweet and has notes of coriander, I believe. Distinct alcahol burn in the aftertaste. Decent beer, but by far not the best BSA, i’ve tried.

Thick yellowish head, gone in seconds, but leaving the flimsiest of lace all over the glass. Deep brown beer with orange shine. Nose gives both portwine and perfume. Smells really like a (decent) fortified wine. Roasted and burnt malts in the taste. Licorice in abundance and burnt sugar. Some fruity esters too, but the above sugarmass doesn't leave it much chances. For all its body and oily feel, it has a rather thinnish texture. Alcoholburn prominent. The port flavour returns retronasal. If the bottle would bear the label "Trappist Ultimo Bruno", we'ld be all in ashes about "them going down". With the label Grimbergen the feeling is more as in "as expected". The portflavour (seen the BBd, unlinked to any ageing) is a really nice touch, however.

Bottled. Clear, cherry-wood colour with a large white head. Viscous consistency. Sweet, nutty, dry aroma. Marty D, says it smells like smoked bacon. Some vinous qualities in there as well. Heavy hitter though and quite a beer to take on at the end of the evening.

(Bottle, BB 20-01-07) Pours a mahogany body with an average beige head. Aroma of raisins, dates, and caramel. Flavor of raisins, grape juice, and malt.
