Kasteel Brune (11% ABV)

This beer pours a Primitivo-coloured red-black and has a very soft carbonation. It is not bottle-conditioned, and therefore lacks sediment.

Having read other tasting notes on this beer, I was looking forward to port wine, marzipan and complex fruit.

What a disappointment. Overpoweringly sweet, this beer exhibits a completely neutral flavour beyond its unpleasantly aggressive malt which roars at the senses from the glass in a most unappealing manner.

Cloying, dull and unnecessarilly strong, I found this beer to be barely drinkable.
