Our Belgian Brown Ale softened with the addition of honey. Caramel malts offset the slight sweetness of honey and a dry hop finish.

Served from the tap in a small nonic glass at the brewpub.
Finishing up my second voyage with the second half of the Blend of the Silk, the brown portion. This stuff pours a clear brass-amber topped by a finger of off-white foam. And here I thought it would be, y'know, brown or brown-adjacent. Guess it goes to show what happens when you assume, eh? The nose comprises caramel, light candied orange peel, a hint of maple syrup, and some grass for good measure. The taste brings in more of the same, unfortunately with a heavily prevailing sense of awkward bitterness, not unlike some fake peanut butter (think the inside of a Reese's with about half of the sugar) that had gone sideways in the weeks since it was forgotten about in the cabinet. Yikes. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a liquid feel. Overall, I don't know what happened, but this thing is just plain bad. No way around it.
