grimbergen optimo bruno

this is grimbergen's heavy hitter, and it is *so* brown. candy alcohol notes and pithy bitterness accompany the main fruit flavor, which is decidedly welche's grape juice. but as far as i can tell, it's not adulterated, just some wonky kind of belgian yeast. it's my favorite amongst the belgians at del haize.

edit: after reviewing the ingredients, they *do* use sugar. i don't think it's enough to make me stop drinking it, and it's not as great a sin as using flavoring, but it is impure.
