Pours a deep brown color with almost no head.

The aroma is oaky in almost a veneered oak kind of way, the roastiness is light but noticeable with lots of funkyiness and just a touch of vinegar.
The flavor is tart and sour with a mild oakiness. Lightly fruity with some rich woodness. Very refreshing, very well put together, not overly complex with good control on the acetic character.

a great example of the style.

Bottle shared at 7venth Sun, thanks to Kan  Pours murky mahogany with a small tanned head. Aroma is sour swee stable cellar and fruity. Very nice. Flavor is sour tart lemony malty fruity and dry. Finishes longlived sour and tart.

I didn’t think this was a great beer and needed a little more sweetness to balance it but well done to Destihl for trying an Oud Bruin. Serving: Tap

thanks to kan, pours dense dark red with no head. nose of sour cherry, brown sugar, brett, something foriegn like a household cleaner. flavor has that cleaner there and pretty sharp, brown sugar, cherry, earthy pitty fruit finishes. just okay.

Pour is deep hazy brown with very little head to speak of. Aroma is woody, lightly tart, and faintly fruity. Smells like I would expect an Oud Bruin to smell. Flavor follows suit with notable wood mixed in with light tartness and light fruity notes.

On draught at Destihl. Pours a dark copper hue with notes of cherry and a nose similar to a good scotch ale. On the palate is less sourness than one might expect, and instead toasted oak (guessing this is spending some time on oak or bourbon), Montmorency cherry, orange zest, cardamom, and a toasty finish. Among the sour ales, it reminded me of Panil Barrique. I’m happy to see Destihl breaking new ground, as this was one of several excellent feature beers.
