Commercial Description:
Infinitely complex in aroma and flavor with notes of maltiness and tartness throughout. An unsurpassed old brown with the richness and complexity of a vintage wine.

Murky ruby, small beige head. Vinous, sourish aroma, raisins, red currants and a hint of Funkadelic. Dried fruity, tart flavor with berries, little syrupy maltiness. Acidic, sharp finish. Nice and interesting for sure, but I just don’t find it as complex as the legend says.

Bottle. Dark brown with a nice light brown head. The head is quickly turned into a thin film. Aromas of apples, cherries, vinegar, dark fruit and sweet sugar. Flavours of cherries, cane sugar, vinegar and raisins. Very drinkable. A little like Duchesse de Bourgogne..

A hazy, dark red/brown colored beer, with a beige head. The aroma is sour, dark fruits, with some malty bitterness. The taste is complex. It’s a little sour and some sweet. A little chocolate with cherries. There are no cherries in it. It’s full of flavour. A very good Flemish Brown.
