Bottle. Dark brown color with no head. Aroma is balsamico, chocolate, roasty, earthy. Taste is the same. Low carbonation. Still an excellent beer.

22 November 2025. GBV Tasting: Struise en kaas feat. Tim DR (Jan Yoens). Cheers to the whole crew!
Hazy dark brown, small, foamy, tan head. Aroma of blue cheese, butter, malt vinegar, fermenting nectarine, red grape, leather, cherry pit, almond. Taste has very sour nectarine, blue plum and grape surrounded by funky notes of malt vinegar, lactic acid and leather in an almondy, 'kramiek'-like malt body. Soft bitter herbal hops in the finish, ending quite sharp with tart cherry and berries and woody tannins. Medium body, moussy texture, average carbonation. Excellent funky & vinous stuff.

Lovely. Cleaner than the other, a bit less personality, but smoother and slightly more balanced.

Very nice Flanders Oud Bruin. I get a lot of oak and Burgundy, but no whiskey. Port soaked raisins. Funky, lots of character.

Vintage 2011, bottled 09/2014. No gusher, just a slight puff. Smells balsamic oaky. Taste is slightly sour, but mostly so much oak. Some red wine, and quite a bit of fruity sweetness. Cherries, strawberries and some more balsamic down the throat. Lovely.

Bottle from Countbeer, thanks! Deep dark brown color. Caramel, red fruit and oak in the aroma. Hint of apple vinegar. Vanilla. Oak, vanilla, caramel, vinous notes and red fruit in the sour but complex flavor. Very well done!
