Dark red-brown colour (EBC 75). A firm creamy and cream-coloured head. The smell of roasted malt, caramel and the sweet fruitiness of the alcohol give this beer the perfect aroma. Flavour: Caramel, sweet fruitiness and a pleasant bitterness are the predominant flavours. The aftertaste reveals a pinch of coffee and date.

Cette Vieille Villers Oud Bruin ressemble avant tout à une double trop sucrée avec une légère acidité plutôt qu'à une Oud Bruin. Nous ne sommes pas loin d'un hors sujet. L'ensemble reste très moyen sur des arômes qui sont toutefois d'une complexité honorable, le point faible restant l'équilibre structurel. Le visuel est sur un brun voilé surmonté d'une mouse beige disparate. Le nez est proche d'une double, avec une légère acidité. Il présente un cocktail de prune, poire et caramel avec de légères épices. Sur l'attaque, ce n'est cependant pas l'acidité qui prend l'ascendant mais la sucrosité, qui surprend et alourdit la bouche. On retrouve néanmoins les arômes du nez qui sont plutôt intéressants. La deuxième bouche voit même l'acidité décliner et de fait le sucre prendre encore un peu plus de place. Cela se poursuite sur le final qui est cependant d'une bonne longueur. Interprétation ratée du style.

Slightly malty, somewhat sharp aroma with a hnt of cinnamon. Malty flavor with the slightest touch of roasted malt. Velvety, but it seems there is nothing there. The flavor almost immediately vanishes from the tongue, only leaving a hint of raisin in the aftertaste. Disappointing, although not really bad.
