Thnaks Mat C. ! Lovely. Rich dark sourness.

Ottawa shared at THT online April’20. Aroma of vinegar, overripe dark fruits, mould, and caramel malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

330 ml bottle, 2015 vintage, bottled Sep 2017. Dark copper-brown body, with a small, creamy, beige head. Aroma of red wine, leather, overripe dark fruits, balsamico, dark berries, dried fruits, some sutble smooth toffee. Tastes quite similar, with more dry wood, a bit more vinegar. Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes warm, a bit astringent, quite dry, wooden, vinous, leathery, with complex fruit notes of grape skin, dark berry skin, green apple skin, some brown sugar, slight balsamico. Very tasty! Drinks like a red wine, really elegant and complex, with diverse fruit notes and leathery wine barrel notes. The finish is really amazing, there is so much going on even minutes after the last sip. Beautiful Belgian classic, worth its reputation. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 5 / 17

Bottle, 2015 vintage. Dark brown color with a red shine, and thick creamy head, slowly disappearing. Aroma is immediately vinous, brandy, berries. taste is a mix of sour and sweet notes, perfectly balanced, vinousfruity, lactic acid. Quite low carbonation, full body, viscous/oily texture. The 13% alcohol is really well hidden, very complex beer but with quite an easy drinkability. Delicious.

2012 Vintage Bottle at home from a trade with Antoine of Malt Attacks, 23rd November 19. This was bottled in September 2013, 6 years old. Pours a dark chestnut brown red, a neat rim of head. Aroma is funk, balsamic, wood, vinous. Taste is greatly complex, vineous, damp wood, funk, dark fruit, booze soaked raisins, Sweet and sour, it’s powerful and moreish. Lovely aged and classical Belgian brew

Bottle, brewed in 2015.Color: Murky reddish brown, very thin off-white head. Aroma: Balsamico vinegar, red wine, toffee hints. Taste: Over medium sour, Balsamico vinegar, nicely combined with moderate to medium sweet flavours, vinuous red wine, hints of caramel and toffee and dark cherries. Oak wood, tannins, dry and astringent mouthfeel. Very nice complexity, a lot of flavours to explore. Pretty strong taste of red wine at the finish. Alcohol is well hidden. Over medium body, low carbonation. Great one.

Pretty iconic example of a modern Flanders oud bruin. Heavy, almost vinegary, sourness and lots of wood. Dry, puckering. Low on the carbonation. Once you get past the sourness some red fruityness appears, almost vinous. Amazingly complex and flavourful.

Lovely. Brown sugar, dark fruit, sourness. Lovely.
