I have been down to Struisse brewery and brewed with Urbaine and sampled the original dark horse and lowed it. This new bottle don't have the same complexity as the original bottle that had a magic brett caracter and well balanced lactic acidity.
This beer have a huge acidity but no brett caracter.

2018 vintage; obviously aged sample Small, yellowish-creamy head over reddish, almost black beer. Lactic acid and light acetic acid, and very vinous. Strong red wine with dark chocolate. Even more sour taste than the nose suggested, but no more chocolate and less vinous. Sour apple, even cider vinegar. Sharp, dark malts. Acidburn and -thinning, quite slick as well. Strange stickyness, but not syrupy. Just that tad too sharp - otherwise this would be a great 'Imperial' oud bruin.

Fruity, malty, tart taste with notes of oak wood, balsamic vinegar, caramel, tamarind, cacao, orange peel, herbs, spices and a tart finish with low bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Complex, woody, really tart and quite tasty. Very nice.

Lovely fruity dirty stuff. Our bruin goodness, can’t quite get the barrel so much, but it’s still great.

Black beer. This has an unusual yeast character and some horseblaket. Roasted malt with sugar and a dry finish
