Poured a murky, red brown color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of cherries, light vinegar, some caramel, and nuts. Taste was tart up front, light cherry, wood, and saccharine. Tart finish, nice.

On tap. Pours reddish brown with a lacy, cream-colored head. Aroma of sweet tarts, some spice, light fruit, and floral hops. Flavor about the same, but really sweet and fruity. Smooth texture. A decent beer but not great.

Danke an den Doppelbock für dieses Bier! Saurer Geruch, dunkel, etwas malzig. Der Antrunk zeigt sich etwas süß und malzig, fruchtige Töne sind ab dem Mittelteil erkennbar. Dabei etwas karamellmalzig, was sich in das harmonische Gesamtbild gut einfügt. Ab dem Mittelteil ist das Bier zurückhaltend sauer, die künstliche Süße verhindert mehr. Test vom 12.8.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,10,11,11,11,11 - 10,55

on draft at in de wildeman, amsterdan, netherlands. thanks to rob who pointed this one out to me as a sour lover.... pours a semi-transparent darker amber brown with a medium fluffy off-white head... aroma is soft semi-sweet cherries with a mild vinegar feel to it. very light and subdued earthy sour tinged and very much the opposite of aggressive....flavors are of a soft earthy sour vinegar and milder sweet cherry aspects. some wet malts underneath. light and has a high drinkability quotient but it lacks some oomph for lack of a better word.

Draught @ Bierproeflokaal In De Wildeman, Kolksteeg 3, Amsterdam, Netherlands 1012 PT.

Clear medium to dark red brown color with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, acidic berries, cherry, wood, bread notes. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet, light acidic and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20100925]

UPDATED: OCT 12, 2010 [9/23/10] Draught at De Wildeman in Amsterdam. Clear amber. Aroma of cherries, sugar, some wood and berry hints. Sweet flavor with fruits, brown sugar, a bit of acidity and something weird. Medium-bodied.

Reddish brown colour with little cream white head. The nose is sweet, a bit sour and reminds of an somewhat aged red wine. Taste is quite sour, sweet with fermented fruit and some caramel. Bit thin, sweet and low on alcohol, but definitely one of the best in the Dutch Oud Bruin department.

On tap at In Der Wilderman, Amsterdam. Brown body with a creamy off white head. The aroma is balsamico, dark fruit and sweet caramel. Dark ripe fruit, sweet malt, vinegar and balsamicco in the flavour. Long sweet sweet and sour finish.
