A clear brown colored beer with a small beige head. The aroma of fruits like cherries with caramel malts. The taste of sweet caramel, with fruits, some cherries, sticky and a little bitter. The aftertaste is a little bitter, but at the most sweet. To sweet.

When I tried this in a Maes-flagged eatery in Namur, Belgium, I was skeptical. Everyone was drinking Watneys, yet I hadn’t seen Watneys since the brand died in the UK decades ago, nor had I seen it in Belgium. I tasted it--and it tasted exactly like Grimbergen Brune, which of course comes from the Alken-Maes/S&N stable. Now, I love Grimbergen Brune, and think it could pass as a scotch ale, but this does need to be called out.

From tap at Domus. Pours dark brown with a small deep orange to amber glare and a slowly collapsing off-white head. Raisin and overripe fruity aroma from the yeast and a roasted dark caramel malt note too. Solid sweet flavoured. Vague metallic note to a rather toffee sweet dark caramel malt flavour mixed with a light fruity touch. Ends with a lasting toffee malt impression.

Bottle 25cl @ [ Tasting in Ulfborg ].
Clear light red brown color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, acidic - sour malt, brown sugar. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light light acidic with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (110708)
