750 ml bottle to oversized snifter (shared with the Mrs.; thanks Santa!). Looks good; an opaque brown with beige lacing. Smells good too; sweet, malty, and funky. Tastes like it smells with a nice, alive mouthfeel. Good beer!

Pours mahogany brown with a small light beige head. Smells mostly sour with hints of caramel and toffee. Taste is sour with subtle hints of malt sweetness, but primarily sour. Medium-bodied with a slick texture and lightly fizzy mouth-carbonation, Oso Oud Bruin (Wee-On-The-Lam) finishes with sour tingles.

Bottle shared by Eric, thanks! Pours a cloudy brown with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice sour acidic red fruits with a nice funk Brett note. Flavor starts with sour red fruits supported by funk with a bit of sweet grain in the finish.

February 23, 2013 bottle shared by Bob. Muddy brown pour with some head that faded quickly. Sour funk, oak, cherry and malt in aroma and taste.

Bottle shared by Bob - thanks! Murky orangish brown pour with a smaller head. Super interesting! Brown ale / scotch ale elements, but they are in the background versus the Bretty sourness. Really flavorful.

On tap at the Malt House prior to The Great Taste. Wow this one surprised me and was fantastic. When Oso scores big they hit it out of the park. This one is top notch in every way!

Tap at GTMW. Big surprise. Unfiltered brown. Big vinous ( rotten egg undertones) sour aroma and flavor. A touch more lactic, sour, and brutally unrefined than a Belgian, but damn nice too. A sour beast. Enjoyable.

On tap at Stubby’s. Ruby copper with a thin tan head. Aroma is sweet and sour at the same time with wild yeast, toffee, oak and mild fruit. Taste of oak, bretty yeast, toffee, darker fruits, some cherry. Finishes moderately dry.

On tap at Malt House - Pours dark ruby brown. Sour cherry on the nose, with yogurt, cheese, and medium tartness. Taste is lots of cheesy cherry yogurt, and mild tartness. Big, thick body with real smooth carbonation.

It does has more than brett in it. This seemed like a pretty classically done Oud bruin. Sour, acidic, proabbly a medium to high sourness. It is smoothe though, big oak and vanilla notes go with the sourness well. It isn’t complex and subtle but it is damn sour and tasty.
