Botttle. Amber, with a minimal head. Sweet, in aroma and in taste, slightly bitter, short finish. Doesn’t show a nice combination of old brown and pils.

Clear brown pour with red glow, small tan head. Aroma of old beer, malts and a hint of hops. Sweet flavour, with hints of smoke coffee and caramel. You can tell it’s a mix of pils and oud bruin, but it’s unclear why they’ve combined the two.

Bottle purchased in Maastricht. Label says it is a mix of the their pils and oud bruin beers. Not much head, sweet favour with malt and cofffee also. Lacks carbonation and too sweet for my taste. Dissapointing;

~ Light aroma of caramel malts and honey. ~Pours a clear light brown with sl creamy white head. ~Light musty hop flavor with lots of caramel malts and honey. Some spiciness from hops. ~light to medium bodied, medium high carbonation, bitter sweet finish. ~Easy drinking brew. Lots of malts making it very sweet.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity not wall adhesive light brown foam collar which was fine and evenly of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a clear dark brown color and a sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is light hoppybitter with a roasted caramel touch. This beer smells malty.

30cl Bottle at home. Clear amber colour, slight off white head. Aroma of grain, cardboard, light skunky hops, caramel. Flavour is grain, cardboard, caramel, medium sugary sweet with a light bitter finish. Light to medium bodied. The pilsener notes are too sharp IMO, and Oud Bruin is my least favourite beer style. I can’t say this is a match made in heaven..

Small head mild carbonation red brown pour aroma woody hoppy toffee mild caramel and biscuit flavour toffee caramel woody mild bitter not a strong tasting beer bland overall finish little malt and bitter

Bottle: Amber, clear, small foamy off-white layer; grainy-dusty and sweet-fruity nose; mainly sweetish flavour, light bodied, a bit fizzy, empty MF; light sweetish-sourish finish. Not really convincing........
