Tasted 2011-04-21. Pours dark brown with light brown head. Aroma of cookies, sour dough, raspberries. Taste is acidic and slightly bitter. Very full bodied. Very tasty.

Small, lacy beige head over red-brown, near opaque ale. Very inviting woody/lactic acid nose, milky, parsley or other garden herbs. Soft sweet-sour, very balanced main flavour; flavours of wood, oak, lactic acid, very mild phenols. Silky soft texture, near-inexistant acidburn, creamy and yet refreshing. Very good! Rodenbach Oud bruin as Rodenbach Classic might have been. To be noted that the basic blending beer, nicknamed Wild Undressed is very nice lactic acid, mellow and yet clear sour, great to drink - but not for sale. Pale, as most of this basic O.B. beers are really.

In bottle. Pours a dark brown colour with a thick light tan head. A lovely sour aroma of lemon, sour-dough, toffee and oak. A very nice Brett character coming through in the flavour also. Musty wet cardboard, chocolate, lemon and dark malt notes. Heavy carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Delicious!

Bottled (from beerplanet..eu). Deep ambery brown colour with a mediumsized off-white head that leaves some lace. Aroma is quite sour wood, mild vinegary notes as well as some roasted malts and mild dark frutiyness as well as some chocolate. Flavour is quite much the same in a very nice balance. As it warms up it also gets some nice berryish notes.

Bottle courtesy of Davy, thank you sir! Cloudy amber color, small beige head. Aroma of summer fruits, soft sourness without acidity. Very tasty. The "undressed" version, used for blending, also has a sourness that dominated the taste, but is not overwhelming.

Slight apple-vinnegar aroma. Brown-amber with a nice laced off-white head. Taste is light vinnegar-orange peel tartness with a roast brown body.

UPDATED: FEB 4, 2011 Aroma: Coffee, cacao, brett, sour. Minimal head. Taste is nice, sour, well balanced. Overall an interesting beer.

Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, sour, chocolate and coffee. Flavour is roasted malt, acidic and chocolate.

Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and even some lacing. Aroma of brown sugar malt with medium lactic acid notes. Taste is also a mix between some tart and light acid notes with a solid malt backbone with notes of brown sugar. Body is more full then I was expecting with a very solid malt backbone and caramelized notes with good carbonation. Well done and more complex then a straightforward Flanders red or oud bruin.

(330ml bottle) Pours a hazy brown body with a small tan head. Aroma of cherries, herbs, grass, raisins, and caramel. Flavor of cherries, berries, citrus, caramel, and grass. Sour with a dry finish.
