UPDATED: DEC 18, 2018 Bottle from the Struise beer shop in Bruges. Poursmrky brown, thin head. Aroma red wine with a hint of balsamic. Taste is vinous, initially tart, sweet cherries and raisins. Medium bodied but limited carbonation. Very good indeed.

Bottle at Beerlovers Bar Antwerpen. Hazy brown color with beige head and an incredible lacing. Aroma is red wine, tobacco, wood, a touch rum soaked cherries, chocolate, leathery, superb complexity. Taste is vineous, wood, leathery, a touch brown sugar, tobacco, tannic. Silky mouthfeel with very tiny carbonation. Extremely well-balanced, extremely tasty. Absolutely incredible Oud Bruin, probably the best I've ever had! A masterpiece beyond comprehension, and completely unexpected. And I had thought Oerbier Reserva is the perfect Oud Bruin...

Bottle thanks to Jordan pours out amber brown color topped with a small sand head. Nose is berries wood oak barrels some light funk and tartness. Tatse is more of the nice berries some fruit notes barrel and some sweetness.

2008 bottle at Beerlovers Bar, Antwerp. Intense aroma and taste of pumpernickel, mild balsamic vinegar, wood, red wine and raisins that interchange/overlap with each sniff/sip you take. Almost no carbonation, pretty light (feeling) body and a slick mouthfeel but bursting with flavour. Take your time while sipping on this beer to experience it's complexity and fully enter the realm of the earthmonk.

330ml bottle, 2008 vintage from the Struise shop in Bruges. Pours a little murky, red-brown with minimal head, as advertised. Aromas of balsamic, cherries, oak, red wine. The taste is quite tart with balsamic vinegar flavours, sweet with cherry flavours, dry red wine, complex oak tannins. Surprisingly not thin bodied at all, quite smooth, low carbonation, wine-like oaky astringency. A very, very good Flemish Red and extremely enjoyable.

Many thanks to Erzengel for this 2008 vintage bottle. A clear dark orange brown beer with a very small fast diminishing off-white head. Aroma of riped dark fruits, vinegar, wood. Taste of mild tart red fruits, riped fruits, plums, mild vinegar, wood, nice!

Thanks Brad for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing translucent caramel brown with white foam lacing. The nose shows a lot of sweet Belgian yeast. The palate is medium bodied and lightly carbonated. Lightly tart with strong flavors of Belgian yeast.

Bottle, vintage 2008. Pours a clear dark brown beer with a quickly disappearing off white head on top. Aroma is rich, full with woody characters, red fruits, oak, some tart fruits and has vineous notes as well. Flavor is incredibly full, yet really sublte with light tarty notes, richness of red fruits, all sorts of berries and such. Has a body that is light tart and vineous, overall is quite fruity and almost sweetish. Mouthfeel is oily and silky, has a dry tart aftertaste that really lasts a long time. No carbonation going on, but what a great beer.
