Dark red colour, it pours a nice brown creamy foam (not many bubbles, but they're big) that last for a while. Nose of acid apples, coriander, fennel. Spicy. Taste is very acid, but pleasant, refreshing. Fruity, with apples and most of all cherries. It makes you ask for another.

This Oud Bruin was pretty tart, tarter than what I believe is typical. However, I am fine with tart so I liked it.

Look: reddish-brown with an inch thick off-white head

Aroma: syrup, cherries, maybe dark fruits

Taste: The flavor is syrup, burned sugar, pretty sweet but also very tart, tart cherries and maybe dark fruit.

Body/Overall: medium body

The lable is updated from that shown in the Description^. It still features a plough (charrue) but it's more decorative and colourful.
L- Very dark brown, clear, pours with 5mm tan head.
S- Toasty, with some rather sharp fruity notes.
T- The latter^ are a moderate sourness, almost sour perfumed apple. That dominates for me.
F- The sourness makes it refreshing, it also masks the 5.4% pretty well.
O- Distinctive. I reckon if you were a fan of this beer you could ID it from 100 random beers put before you. I'm not sure it works for me. It tastes more like a cider than a beer IMHO. Not one I'd buy again. ps. lable says it's been aged for 18Mos in oak barrels maybe that's where the fruit notes derive.

Sour take on the flanders oud bruin. The underlying malt syrup is there, with sour cherry, sweet raisin, boozy oak and brown sugar dancing on top of the malt. Feel is rich and warm, where the aftertaste is a tad on the vinegar burn side of sour.

L - Dark reddish colour with a two fingers white head

S - tart, oak, good complexity, vinous with dark berries, some spices

T - Good balance between the tartness and the sweetness, follow the smell but a bit less complex and it shows a metalic taste

M - nice vivid carbonation, smooth

O - A nice oud bruin, I really don't get the bad ratings

Pours black, almost opaque with ruby red reflections. Head is small when poured and dissipates instantly into a very, very thin ring of foam. No lacing whatsoever. Smell is apple cider and vinegar. There's also a sort of medicinal smell going on that I can't quite figure out. There are some malts present as well after it warms up. Taste is apple cider and raspberry. There's a very subtle hint of coffee and caramel, too. Kinda sweet; there's the expected sour and vinegar feel, but it's definitely not bitter. I find the same medicinal thing as in the smell, but it's not any more recognizable. Some malts. The aftertaste is kinda acidic and not extremely pleasant. Moutfeel is prickly, with a light to medium body. Goes down well, but it's not that drinkable, what with the sour taste.

Ehh, I don't know about this. It's pretty good, but I was expecting something a bit more complex.

What a delicious, sour, funky Belgian brown this is! Had it on tap at Belg Aube in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Such a rich and thick mouthfeel. Really makes the sweet cherry flavor come out for me. I like this brew a lot and would recommend for anyone looking for a nice drinkable sour.
