Doesn't fit to Flanders Oud Bruin beer style category. Fits to Oud Bruin from Netherlands. It means uncomplicated in aroma and taste, low alcohol (usually 2,5% to 3,5% by ABV), semi-dark (amber) to dark lager with dominant sweetness.

Micheal Jackson translates Oud Bruin from Netherlands like Old Brown Lager.

bottle enjoyed at zoet en zout eindhoven, poor beer, too sweet, dark malt flavour is nice but weak, some sweet dark fruit flavour and just a general kandij sugar taste, not great

Bottle at Pelangi, Amsterdam, Netherlands

A: The beer is very dark brownish amber in color and is clear but has no visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high beige head that has very good retention properties and consistently left a short head covering the surface.
S: Light aromas of sugar cane are present in the nose along with hints of molasses and ginger-like spices.
T: The taste has flavors of molasses and is slightly sweet but also has contrasting hints of ginger.
M: It feels light-bodied (but not watery) on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The beer is easy to drink because it isn't as sweet compared from other Oud Brruins from the Netherlands.

Bottle of 300 ml at home. Pours a very dark brown beer with less than one finger of brownish head. The head leaves some lacing as it goes down.
Aroma is of roasted malts, some coffee and some caramel.
Taste is very sweet with the expectable sour aftertaste.
On the body is thick and it has light carbonation.

Traditional brown ale. 30 cl bottle. Very easy on the palate.

Dark brown colour, thin beige head. A bit of lacing in the glass.

Soursweet smell of fruit, caramel and malts.
In the taste, the sweetness is dominating clearly. But tasting a bit more, there's also the fresh fruity sourness.
Smooth and easy.

Take a bit of time with it, and discover the balance: it makes it very refreshing.
For the style it's a decent example.
