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!

Bottle from Tanakaya. Fruity aroma, slightly acetic, cherry, caramel, yogurt, a touch of vanilla. Rather subdued. Dark brown with reddish-orange tints and a lacy head. Tangy and sweet flavor with yogurt, cherry, chocolate. Not very sour really, though it finishes somewhat dry. Cream or vanilla flavors too. Not a whole lot of authentic character; a bit bland but ok.

[3/2/11] Bottle at a friend’s house in Amsterdam. Clear brown color with a beige head. Aroma of oak, cherries, sugar, malt and a bit of lactic notes. Sweetish-sourish flavor, somewhat vinous, with lactic acid, malt, oak, cherries and a bit of caramel. Medium-bodied. Decent.

couleur rubis, fine mousse beige Une bière qui reste un peu en retrait tant au niveau de l’arôme que au niveau gustatif. Dominé par les cerises qui donnent un goût aigre-doux, à noter aussi une fine couche de chêne qui apporte ce côté boisé au palais. Malt reste en retrait et y fait une petite apparition. Pas mauvais, mais juste un peu légère.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Dark beer. Mild tangy sourness but with a slighty watery palate. Duchesse Du Bourgogne watered down .....

very pleasing sour/wild ale, more of the wild side than the sour which is nice, the sour ales arent my thing. was surprised by the color, was thinking it was going to be more red than brown but its a deep brown color and matching aroma to the taste. was great with dinner, very refreshing and the abv is just about right to not be at all heavy.

Sampled from a 12.7 oz green bottle this beer poured a dark scarlet-brown color with a small soapy tan head that lingered and produced a bit of lacing. The aroma was chocolate, caramel, nut and tart cherries. The flavor was moderately tart and acidic with notes of lemon, cheery, nut, bread and a light woody undertone. The finish was long, tart, fruity and acidic. Light to medium body. Interesting.
