Den Bruinen Os is brewed on site in the loft and blended with lambic from Timmermans Brewery. This lambic has aged for over twelve months in wooden barrels. The result is a surprising red-brown beer with a low alcohol content and a complex flavour.

Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fini. Il colore è ambrato rossiccio carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, pane tostato, agrumi, arancia, banana, frutta appassita, prugna, cherry, vino rosso, vino Porto, uva passa, mais cotto e salsa di soia.

Full 25 cl pour at Bourgogne des Flandres in Bruges, Belgium. The pour is a clear amber, ruby, copper with a slight off white head that leaves behind nice lace. The aroma is soft dark cherry fruit, caramel malt and a hint of funk. The taste is clean dark cherry fruit, nicely balanced with the caramel malt and a hint of yeast ever so slightly funky. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and the drying soft funk and malt finish. Nice.

Reddish brown color. Taste is dark fruit with a touch of acidity. Smooth and easy to drink.

Barwa miedziana, niemal klarowne, piana jasnobeżowa, dość obfita, niezbyt trwała. W aromacie słodkie, mało wiśni, zero przypraw i fenoli. W smaku dość słodkie, estrowe, zero przypraw i normalnej owocowości, znikoma kwaśność. Wysycenie niskie do średniego, ciało w normie. Za słodkie, zdecydowanie.

Avec un sucre surdosé, difficile de donner la vivacité nécessaire à une oud bruin. Cette Bourgogne des Flandres en vient même à manquer d'élégance avec de surcroît un sucre qui aplanit les arômes. Le visuel est sur une robe brune rougeâtre surmonté d'une mousse brune s'estompant rapidement. Le nez est typique du genre, vinaigre balsamique, framboise, candi et boisé au programme. On ne ressent cependant pas une grande finesse, même à ce stade. L'attaque passe encore petite acidité convenable reprenant les arômes présents au nez. La seconde bouche s'embourbe cependant complètement avec un sucre trop présent et des arômes manquant de complexité. L’arrière-bouche est juste un peu plus vif, mais de façon insuffisante pour dynamiser l'ensemble. L'alcool, à 5 % est néanmoins très correct. Le final, discret est plutôt inintéressant. Les Flandres savent proposer mieux.

0.33 l bottle from 'EDEKA Preller' (Breckerfeld), best before November 2021. Clear, deep ruby with a medium large, frothy, stable, beige head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, gently fruity and a bit vinous taste of caramel, cherry, brown sugar, some balsamic vinegar and a touch of red wine. Quite sweet, moderately sour, gently fruity taste of caramel, brown sugar, cherry, artificial sweetener, some balsamic vinegar and a touch of wood, followed by a short, moderately tart, sugary and a little vinous finish. Medium body, a little astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Too sweet, a little artificial as well, still pleasant enough.

Huge, fluffy, dirty-cream head over deep red-copper beer. Wood, acetic acid & brown candi sugar; lactic acid, condensed sugared milk. Acids (lactic, acetic) spirited away with what tastes awfully close to artificial sweeteners. Fruity esters, brown candi sugar, (red) fruit-filled pralines . Wood in the aftertaste, as well as an ester, not unlike overripe banana. Very slick, but not a thick body. Not very carbonated either. No, I'm not convinced. Before one can befuddle lambic with enough sweetness... and it is TOO sweet by half. Eh, eh.

33cl bottle from Cora in Brussels. F: huge, tan, long lasting. C: dark brown, red hue, hazy. A: sour fruity, caramel, bit red berries, woody and brett touch. T: medium malty base, caramel, bit sour fruity but too sweet all together, lambic is quite lost here, bit toast, red fruits touch, medium carbonation, aroma is so-so yet taste I don’t know too commercial but refreshing, enjoyed.
