Thinnish body, low carbo. Med sourness, med-light acetic. Med-light dark fruits. Little else going on, pretty basic. Good but not great.

Funky vinous sour. On the Oud Bruin spectrum, what I’d expect from

Bottle shared with Nari and Gabor Gábor (8% ABV version). Pours dark copper with a reddish hue and an off-white head. Nose is pretty held back, showing some funk and acetic acid, a touch of dried fruits perhaps. Taste is also rather moderate intensity-wise, and it shows funk, dried fruits, faint dark malts and a weird stale barnyard character. Without any major flaws but also quite forgetable.

Aroma of tart berries, dark fruits, dusty caramel malt, funky yeast. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and moderate sour. Surprisingly easily drinkable for a 10%. Enjoyable brew.

Avec une acidité quelque peu poussée, cette bière n'est très clairement pas faite pour moi....Les amateurs du genre devraient toutefois trouver leur bonheur car les arômes sont là. En verre nous sommes sur un brun limpide avec quasiment pas d'effervescence ou de mousse. Le nez est sur un cocktail de vinaigre balsamique, de vinaigre de vin, de caramel et de chêne avec une pointe de chocolat. En bouche, cette Sigma ressemble à une Oud Bruin bien acide. Les arômes présents au nez se retrouvent avec une complexité honorable. Mais personnellement je trouve que l'acidité trop marquée les gâchent et ne permettent pas qu'ils se développent correctement. A noter que mon exemplaire titrait à 8 %.

0.33 l bottle from 'AleHub', 8.0% abv, best before August 2026. Hazy, dark brown with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, off-white head. Sweetish-malty, slightly sourish, gently vinous-fruity aroma of caramel, chocolate, red wine, some wood and hints of lovage. Quite sweet, malty, slightly sourish, moderately roasty and gently vinous-fruity taste of chocolate, red wine, caramel, licorice, lovage, wood and some raisins, followed by a medium long, slightly tart, moderately roasty-bitter finish. Medium body, slightly astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Delicious brew, fairly complex, superbly balanced. Should try more beers from Alvinne again.
