Oud bruin (or indeed intended as the historical 'Oudenaards bruin') aged in red wine barrels, thanks to tderoeck for sharing. Yellowish beige, moussy, medium thick, quite dense and stable head on a misty caramel brown beer with deep burgundy red glow. Aroma of redcurrant, sour grapes, sour cherries, moist oak wood including the 'vanilla', old dry red wine, caramel, dust, old cotton cloth, red apple, damp earth note, medlar. Crisp and very fruity onset, lots of redcurrant, sour grape and some apple, medium carb, supple and slightly vinous mouthfeel; caramelly and brown-bready malt core under a lot of tart red fruit, even a very faint side note of raspberry vinegar, but also a lot of strong woody tannins acting in a drying, but also enriching way; ends with a restrained earthy tone, as well as lots of that tart red fruit lingering about. Refreshing for a barrel aged beer thanks to this vivid tart fruitiness, layered and - apart from the wine barrel element, which nevertheless remains relative modest - ticking all the boxes for what one would expect from a twentieth-century style 'oud bruin', only a bit more tangy and bold. Better than expected, to be honest, and another solid Petre Devos offering.

25/VI/21 - 25cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared with Alengrin @ home, BB: n/a (nothing to find on the bottle or label) (2021-528)
Clear red brown beer, small creamy beige head, stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: super fruity, lots of red fruits, some wood, earthy, humus, almost mushroom like smell. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: good, very fruity, gentle bitterness, quite some tannins, red currants, nice acidity, very refreshing! Aftertaste: dry, good acidity, no vinegar at all! More of a citric acidity, very earthy, some tobacco, nice stuff, really like it!
