The name refers to the originality and purity of the beer. The specific gravity of the wort is 1078, the alcohol percentage 9%. Oerbier has a slightly fresh acidity due to the yeast and lactic acid bacteria.
The best-before date is imposed by law: one year after bottling, this is also mentioned on the capsule. The beer will experience a slight taste evolution and will become vinous. Samples of the first brew, which are still perfectly drinkable, are kept in the brewery.

Bottle from Cork & Cask (2016) and House Of Trembling Madness (2025). Dense ruby body with a thin beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of cinnamon, apple pie, caramel and blueberry. Flavour of sour cherry, sweet red apple and underripe plum. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Lively fizz. There’s an interesting sweet-and-sour vibe to this. It’s a fun beer that engages the brain, but it’s not one I’d return to regularly.

Superficial tasting at company beer tasting. Amber body under a big, foamy head. Aroma of malt, caramel, ripe berries and Belgium yeast. Taste is smooth and complex, very typical classic Belgium dubbel and quad. Sweet malt with caramel, slightly acid berries, and Belgium spicy yeast. Notes of candy. Nice and vinous.

Bottled. Pours a super dark, almost opaque brown. I liked it but could have used a bit more sweetness. Tastes almost wine-ey? MOre age? who knows.

Bottle at home. Pours a deeper, brownish copper with an off-white head. Nose is esters, caramel and dark sugar. Taste is dried fruits, berries, fruity esters, dark sugar, light booze, champagne notes, and malty hints in the finish. Sweetish, but the finish is kinda dry. Light to medium bodied with average to high carbonation.

very very dark brown pour, and very murky. Aroma of dark sweet fruit malts, lots of dark ripe fruit, some anise, and a touch of hops. Flavor is all dark fruit, plums, and figs, some more anise, and lots of dark sweet malt. very rich beer. Lovely stuff.

Aroma of toasted malt, caramel, rich dark fruits, berries, dried fruits, some candy sugar, yeast, spicy notes. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet a bit tart with a smooth light bittersweet finish. Hint of alcohol. Lovely sipper, I’d love to try this aged for a few years.
