Bacchus Flemish Old Brown surprises with a taste reminiscent of wine and offers a beautiful balance between sweet and sour. This beer impresses through both its sourness and the slight touch of caramel brought by the roasted malt. However, its sourness is less pronounced than the sourness of other Flemish red-brown beers. Therefore, Bacchus Flemish Old Brown is a very refreshing beer with a pleasant aftertaste. A beer full of character and history!

Rødbrun klar med beige skum. Lukter røde bær og eddik. Fruktig og sur. Smaker, bær, rosiner og svak eddik. Kort.

Bottle at home. Pours deep brown with a ruby hue and an off-white head. Nose is cherries, a woody touch, some sweetness. Taste is slighlty sour and tart at first but then immediately followed by an overhwlming, seemingly artificial sweetness that lasts into the finish where it's met again with a slight tartness. Light but full body, average carbonation. Misses the funk, and there's way too much sweetness. Meh.

Dark ruby pour, with a tiny white head. Strong aroma of balsamic vinegar, and some light cherry. Medium tartness, some hints of grass. Wattery mouthfeel, light tartness in the finish. Decent.

Pours a reddish brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of wine, sour apple and cherry. Flavour is tart. An enjoyable Sour as it is, but I would have loved more complexity and barnyard/cellar notes.

0.375 l bottle shared with little Dina at Barbeerian, Zagreb. Unclear brown, small off-white head. Aroma is molasses, caramel, spice and some dried fruit. Flavour is sweet caramely, Coca-Cola like, ketchup, soft sour berries or cherry on the palate but no real tartness. Just randomly too sweet and dull. Light body, soft smooth texture, sweet finish. Doesn't resemble a proper Flanders bruin.

Аромат винный, немного карамели, сухофруктов, совсем легкая пряная нотка. Цвет красивый, полутемный, на просвет светло коричневый, пена средняя, но падает скоротечно. Вкус хороший, но немного водянистый но при этом не питкий, скорее всего это связанно с большой карбонизацией. Ощущаются нотки перца от винного привкуса, много сливы, хорошая кислинка при глотке, хотя пиво кислит весьма мало, оно более бархатное на вкус. Уже при согревание ощущаются квашенные-моченые яблочки, но не сильно. Послевкусие снова слегка водянистое, пряная нотка, моченые яблоки с намеком на ягоды и карамель. В целом советую это пиво как знакомство с кислыми элями, хотя если вы действительно хотите раскрыть весь потенциал данного пива, необходимо иметь за спиной не один десяток бутылок данного сорта.
