pours a nice dark red color from an 11oz bottle. Some head that stays for a little bit Good aromas, though not the most complex sour. Cherries, red apples, funk tones and a bit of asian spices. Decent depth, but nothing that blows you away lighter bodied and lacking a bit in the flavor category. Mostly cherries and some red apples with a touch of acidity to it as well This is a straightforward sour. Solid, but leaving me wanting for a bit more.

bottle from liquor loft. dark brown pour with this off-white. tea, brown sugar and dark fruit in the aroma. tastes are the same with vanilla and a nice lightly sour yeast, green apple, cherry sourness. finishes dry. medium texture with soft but lively carbonation. pretty good.

mike1977ok (1037) - NETHERLANDS - SEP 10, 2011
Colour is dark brown with a red hue. Aroma is oaky and malty. Pleasant initial flavours of malt and caramel are overpowered by the sourness coming from the oak barrels.

Mahongany pour with tan head. Nose is faint and mild grapes Light watery body. Very Grapey, could use more sourness and/or complexity. s’ok but not great.

mumares (93) - BELGIUM - AUG 30, 2011
25 cl bottle. Pours dark amber with an eggshell coloured head. The typical aroma’s that you would expect from an "oud bruin" are there, but all a bit muted. Also a bit metallic. Could use more sourness and a better texture. Now it’s watery and lacking some body. A very average oud bruin and cannot believe that this beer has been put in barrels for 20 months.

JaBier (2999) - Capital City, Ohio, USA - AUG 28, 2011
Bottle purchased at one of the many Champane’s Fine Wines locations. Clear brown pour with a huge beige head. Malty and caramelly nose with tartness and oak. Malty flavor with tart fruit and light hop before a tart and funky finish.

SPDickerman (326) - Texas, USA - AUG 23, 2011
Pours dark, dark brown with a fizzy brown head. Smells generally malty without much sourness, no alcohol at all. Tastes sort of sour, but mostly just malted, and no alcohol at all on the taste. The sourness comes through on the finish, though not much. Petrus Old Bruin is medium-bodied with a wet texture and has okay mouth-carbonation.
