(Bottle 33 cl) In my original version simply called "Abdij Steenbrugge" brewed by De Gouden Boom in Bruges. Dark, full-bodied but surprisingly dry beer. Chocolatey nose whereas the arama has more licorice. Not that far from a Westmalle Dubbel. Brewed according to an old Benedictine recipe. 140594

Jul 20, 2008 On tap @ Café Quibus. Clear ruby brown colour, off white head. Aroma of dark fruit, raisins, brown sugar. Taste is also brown sugar, some raisins. A bit watery, but soft taste. Nothing special.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Pivni Galleri, Prague.
Pours a beautiful, clear mahogany with a nice, staying, frothy beige-grey head. Sweet, fruity aroma, lots of prunes and plums with a touch of metal and chocolate. A bit thin mouthfeel. Flavour is rather dry and roasted, some clear metallic notes, some slight chocolate at the end. Tolerable, but not very good for its type.
