Bacchus Flemish Old Brown: A Distinctive Belgian Beer

Bacchus Flemish Old Brown is a Belgian red-brown beer brewed by Van Honsebrouck. Rooted in Flemish brewing tradition, it stands out for its combination of roasted malt flavours, refreshing acidity and subtle wine-like character. Part of the beer is matured in oak barrels, contributing to its layered profile and making it an appealing choice for drinkers who enjoy beers with complexity and balance.

Roasted malt, caramel and dried fruit

The beer pours a deep reddish-brown colour beneath a lasting beige head. Its inviting aroma brings together roasted malt and toasted chestnuts, with notes of caramel, toffee and dried fruit. On the palate, a hint of sweetness reminiscent of candy sugar is quickly balanced by lively acidity. Gentle malt bitterness and wine-like nuances add further dimension, while the dry finish keeps the overall impression refreshing rather than heavy.

A beer made for food pairing

Bacchus Flemish Old Brown works well with a variety of savoury dishes. Try it with charcuterie, grilled meats, slow-cooked dishes or mature cheeses. Its combination of caramelised flavours and acidity can also complement dishes featuring onions or gently tangy sauces. Served as an aperitif, it offers a different experience from more conventional blonde beers.

Serving recommendations

Serve at around 5°C in an appropriate beer glass. This temperature helps preserve the beer’s refreshing character while allowing its malt and wine-like aromas to emerge. Sip slowly to appreciate the progression from subtle sweetness to bright acidity and a clean, dry finish.

Bottled in a 37.5 cl format and containing 4.5% alcohol by volume, Bacchus Flemish Old Brown is a characterful introduction to a traditional Belgian beer style. It is well suited to relaxed tasting occasions and food-focused gatherings. Please enjoy responsibly.
