This 7.5% traditional Flemish-style sour was produced from a blend of beers aged for a range of up to two years in a variety of oak barrels. Long and slow fermentation with a blend of Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and other sour cultures contribute to the characteristically tart flavor. Notes of black cherry, raisin, and a hint of dark chocolate.

L:. Pours a dark murky brown red with a small tan head and no lacing on the glass.

S:. Notes of cherry and caramel, a touch of berry and a bit of slight hop, lots of sour, aroma feels a little light for the style.

T:. Strong sour and acid, notes of cherry and berry, and a touch of caramel and toffee, a touch of vinegar.

F:. Smooth body, some acid in the background, medium body.

O:. Seems a little lighter on flavor than the other Oud Bruins.

Appearance is dark brownish-red with a short fuzzy khaki head settling to a bubbly ring.

Charred barrel and dark cherry interplay well here, within a mildly sour base that has a good balance throughout.

Had on tap. Well done in the feel and taste, with edgy sourness but not overly so, keeping the dark sweet elements of cherry, raisin, chocolate and toffee pudding at the forefront. Some acidity and large wood compliment. Flavor opens up more in taste than smell, with pretty nice depth and toasty warm booze and malt.

750ml bottle served in a large snifter. Bottled on 2017-09-04. Given to me by @mr-jj.

Pours dark reddish brown with smallish head and medium to low carbonation. Smell is nice -- tart cherries. Sour.

Taste is tart, cherries, a little muddy. Not particularly standout, but good.

Mouthfeel is dry, and nice. Overall, nice beer.
