Alvinne Oud Bruin

(2/28/08) Draught sample at PreZBF@Alvinne in Heule. Reddish brown with a beige head. Aroma of oak, some brett, a bit of malt and caramel. Sour flavor with wood, a bit of sweet malt and roasted notes. Medium-bodied. Very nice.

Bottle sampled at the brewery. Pours a clear brown color with a thin, light brown head. The aroma is sour, fruits and wild yeast are also present. Good flavor of tart fruits, sourness and wild yeast. The body is medium with soft carbonation.

From tap at alvinne. Pours dark brown with a hazzlenut hue and a dense white head. Light fruity and mild woody aroma. Dry woody brett flavour to a nice caramel malt base. Crisp flavour.

Draught at the brewery. Hazy orange red coloured with an off white ehad. Fruity aroma of caramel with notes of red wine. Light acidic flavour of grain, red wine, grass and hops. Hoppy finish. I prefer the oud bruin’s with more significant wine notes.

Red-brown beer with a beige head that disappears after a few moments. Very lactic aroma when I opened the bottle, but less outspoking after a few moments. Lactic flavor with a spicy, roasted ending. The aftertaste reminds me a bit of rauchbeer.
