Dikke Jan Bruin is a dark brown to nearly black beer from Brouwerij Dikke Jan in Waregem, Belgium. This strong dark ale is brewed with pure barley malt, roasted malt, a touch of wheat malt and corn flakes. The result is a beer distinguished by its freshness and hoppy character, without the sharp edges typical of traditional porters or stouts.

The nose reveals lightly sweet and tart notes with subtle spice. On the palate, the beer arrives dry with a pleasant hoppy accent and a lingering finish. At 8.5% ABV, it delivers full flavour without overwhelming alcohol warmth.
