Bottled (BB 09/2009)
Dark ruby brown color, small tan head. Aroma of vinegar, chocolate, iron, caramel and dark fruits. A bit carbonated. Caramelly (candy sugar, brown sugar), some dark malts. As Oud Bruin beer should be more tart than this is, only some sourness in the afteraste. Overall very sweet, a bit too watery.

Jun 24, 2008 Clean aroma, hints of cherries and dark berries. Pours reddish brown with a dense off white head that doesn’t last long. Sweet malts caramelly, fruity, but trace hints of a sourness, very sugary. They need to up the old beer and lower the young in the blending. I wouldn’t say its a sour ale at all.

kramer (1856), sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
May 8, 2008 25 cl bottle, via jbrus. Pours an amber body with a slight ruby tint under a fizzy beige head that faded rather quickly. The nose is lots of wet sweaty grains with a touch of oxidation and cooked vegetal notes. The flavor is rather grainy and tired with no tart or sourness to speak of. There’s an unwelcomed caramel sweetness on the finish actually. Long lingering cooked celery flavor late on in the finish. Mouthfeel is too sweet and cloying for the style with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall, one of the worst Oud Bruins that I’ve had. It’s weird that their Grand Cru version is so much better.
