LCI. Quick taste from the neighbours, thanks. Sour, plenty of cherry and easy drinkable. Not much barrel noticable, or complexity, but it's a nice and easy fruited sour with plenty of fruit to add sweetness, but not so much it's a fruit beer only.

I initially read the name of this beer as being of the Oud Bruin style but soured Bruin makes a more logical reading given the taste I figure. It is not really Bruin maybe in character either but it has an interesting milk chocolate quality that is quite unlike Oud Bruin. I got a glass of this at BeerTemple in Amsterdam. I got a dark brown beer with a massive thick creamy mocha & coffee head. Nose is dissimilar from taste having some lesser USA Oud Bruin notes meaning mild glue & paint with soured thicker dark bread & berries. Taste is very interesting it is like soured milk chocolate with dark bread, lactose sweetness, first the soured thick bready mouthfeel and taste leading into lingering sweet & sour milk chocolate finish and a fitting thick creamy body. Very interesting and unusual profile that highly appealed to me. Cherry is not very prominently preasant, well maybe some sweet dark cherry but who cares, it worked very well & that is the most important thing.

Draft at beertemple. Aroma of vanilla, cherry, oak and malt. Taste has vanilla, oak, mild cherry, tart and a mildly sour finish. Nice.
