hopIQ found 10 beers with the same caramel and sweet character as Grimbergen Optimo Bruno. A dark amber abbey quadrupel of the Belgian range, first brewed as an Easter beer and now available year-round. Tasters describe caramel, brown sugar and dried fruit on the nose, with raisin and plum behind them. The palate is sweet and bitter at once and notably round, with toffee, dark fruit and a hint of spice over a dense malt body. The finish is broad, warming and clearly alcoholic, with hop and malt held in balance. Caramel colour is used to deepen the shade. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
