Bottle from Wine and Cheese Place. Beautiful brown color with great carbonation. Taste was tons of sourness and bready notes. It has a balsamic taste too which is awesome in my opinion. Cranberry’s were present with malt. This beer really surprised me.

750 ml corked and caged bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium beige head that falls into a blanket of foam after a minute. Aroma is extremely woody with notes of caramel and vanilla; has an undercurrent of dark fruits and barnyard funk. Taste is sweet and tart, but not mouth-puckering--it’s more reminiscent of Duchesse De Bourgogne than something like La Folie; finishes dry. Mouthfeel is a little on the foamy side with a full body. I like it.

Thanks Craig. Poured from a 750ml bottle. There were notes that were fruity, toasted malt, caramel, tart, cherry. I found this to be very nice.

750 ml. bottle to snifter. Pours brown with a tight foamy khaki head that slowly fades to a film. Aroma has a really nice sourness and tart scent along with some wine and funky malt. Taste is again smooth sourness and hints of wine and wet corks, plum and cherry with a malt backbone that has a hint of faded tootsie roll. Palate has a good lively fizz and finishes tart and dry. This is fantastic!

A decent one. Carmally and stronger than the norm. Carmal up front and a nice sourness on the back end.

Not at all like the Oud Bruins I’ve had before, but better than all of them. This beers most prominent characteristic is its sourness, but this isn’t a one trick pony. Malty and dark with a balancing brown sugar sweetness.

Bottle shared by bhensonb. Pours cola with a thin but attractive beige head and a sour fruit aroma. There is a very brown flavor that is a bit more hearty than most of the oud bruins, but there is a tasty subtle sourness that seems quite authentic and a pleasant oaky finish.

Bomber from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours cola color with a slight beige head. Sturdy sour aroma. Med body. Flavor is woody, winey and sour. Maybe a little hint of chocolate. Finishes very, very laid back and tasty.

750 ml. bottle- Pours a very hazy dark brown to red with a light tan two finger head that slowly reduces. Aroma is tart and funky, the kind of funk I have been looking for all my life! I don’t even know what that means, but this is good, aromas of dark fruits like plums and cherries. The taste is dark fruits too, cherry, plum, figs, moderately tart, almost overripe fruits though. Dig the complexity, the Flemish tribute, have had better, but this is definitely the best of the night, maybe even the week!

(750ml bottle) ruddy red orange, lasting fine tan head. Nose of cranberry, raisin, funky, complex. Taste is incredible. Cranberry, raisin, rich and lightly tart, so balanced and complex, like a sour fruited quad. Maybe my top sour I’ve had in some time.
