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!

On tap at the beer Trappe the beer is amber with an ecru head. The aroma is of sour cherries and the taste is sour that exhibits a tanginess that resonates on the palate.

Brownish head, gone very fast. Colour is dark red/brown, very deep and opacque. Nice smell, lactic acid, wood and red fruits, vinous. Taste is a bit acetic, not so sour, still some wood notes, but less complex than the smell. Medium bodied, dry, nice carbonation, soft. Good, but quite far from a Rodenbach, for example.

Head: tan, medium, sparkling. Colour: red-brown, slightly hazy.

Aroma: dry wine, yeast, some dried cherry as it warms up, Taste is mostly sour, even acidic. Astringent. The sourness is too dominating and kind of plain.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons, Calais. Pours a clear deep brown colour with a lasting beige head. Sourish Flemish aroma promises a decent beer. And it delivers. The best of these, the kriek and framboise are a bit sweet, but this has some proper sourness to it. A proper Flemish sour with some sharp fruits, some malt, some bread and biscuit and lots of just joy of being a Flemish sour. I love this style. Easy drinking, not hugely complex. Straight in your face Flemish sour. good.
