Brok in de Keel

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to dark brown in color, with good clarity and a dense, persistent head. Fine lacing clings to the glass as you drink, while modest carbonation creates a gently active bead that sustains throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with rich caramel and toasted malt, layered with warm spice and the earthy complexity of dried stone fruits. A subtle smokiness emerges in the background, mingling with the yeasty depth characteristic of Belgian fermentation.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full-bodied with prominent caramel sweetness balanced by moderate spice and a dry undercurrent. Mid-palate reveals raisiny fruit character and bready malt richness, while the 28 IBUs provide gentle bittering that never overwhelms the malt-forward profile.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, dominated by caramel and raisin notes with a lingering trace of smoke. The 8.5% ABV declares itself gently in the aftertaste without harshness.
