Flemish-style red ale age in port wine barrels with cherries

Oude Tart is a Flemish-Style Red Ale, aged specially in Port Pipes for the 2019 release. Cherries were added for the final stages of barrel aging. It's pleasantly sour with hints of leather, tangy dark fruit, plump cherries and toasty oak. The Port Barrels help the cherries truly shine, imparting a smooth and rich layer of flavor to the beer.

Bottle from 2013, thanks to Felipe! Pours clear ruby chestnut, large tan head, creamy and slow to dissipate, nice lacing. Aroma is loads of cherry, oak tannin, lactose, cocoa, leather in the back. Flavor is medium tart, light funk, lots of cherry in great balance with the base beer. Medium body. Well done indeed.

Bottle @ home, acquired via the Broery Snob Society back in 2013. Pours a deep brown appearance with a thin brown head. Aroma has really nice wild sour cherries along with some vinegar, oak, vanilla, and more wild cherries. Highly sour which covers the high boost a bit. Low sweetness and bitterness. Brown sugar, cola, vinegar, cinnamon, leather, incredibly acidic, wild cherry flavor. This shit peels the paint off my teeth. It tastes pretty good but my fucking god, it’s sour. I’m really split on this beer. It’s far too sour for anyone with an outside life but it does have a really tasty wilde cherry flavor. Good in small amounts. Not so great drinking a full 750 by yourself.

Fully muddy brown-mauve beer with transparant B.C."H.". Chocolate, red fruit, cherries, but also oranges. Sweet, yeasty, lactic acid. Tart - indeed! Sour, sour fruit with a finish of (slightly) sweetish chocolate and felt. Lactic acid, fruit acids. Puckering MF, slight alcohol, lots of acids. Sample slightly out of shape - so I guesstimate the original is truly good. Txs to M & L V!

Thank you for sharing! 750 ml. bottle sampled @ "De grote Black Tuesday Tasting". Dark red Bordeaux, no head. Nose is hugely puckering sour cherries, light malt. Taste is huge puckering sour cherries, oak, light vinegar, light malt, sour cherry skins, oak, lemon. Solid body. Good stuff, big sourness but also good profile & lots of fruits. Very nice.

2013. The beer is a dark brownish red color. A bit too dark to gauge the clarity. Reluctant head but a vigorous pour got a few fizzy fingers of brown bubbles. Dissipates to nothing after a bit. Medium vinegar in the aroma. Light toasty sugar, dark fruit and wood. A fairly juicy sour cherry character. Nice Flemish red character without the off maltiness of some examples. The taste is medium-strong sour, solid tart fruitiness and light malt sweetness. Less cherries but they’re still present. Good bit of acidity. Mild caramel. Some other dark stone fruit fruitiness. While this is a definite step up from the regular version of Oude Tart, it’s still a bit harsh for my taste, though I probably have some bias against the style. Oaky finish. Solid pucker. Light medium body. Pretty good.

Poured from a 2013 vintage bottle. Aroma has a nice, bright cherry note to it with some tart cherries as well. Some dark fruit notes and berries with light oak character. Moderate malt notes of toasted bread, dark caramel and toffee. Pours a darkish brown with some reddish hues and a thick, light mocha head that exhibits good retention as it recedes to the edges where it lingers. Flavor is fairly acidic though with a touch of sweetness at first. Moderate cherry notes that help add some sweetness but also some acidic complexity. Light oak notes. Moderate dark fruit and berry character. Light malt notes of toasted bread, dark caramel and toffee. A hint of the alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty decent beer and the cherry character is really nice. Good malt notes and dark fruit character from the yeast. Nice, light oak.

Tasting at Chez Bruce. Hazy red - brown beer, small pale tan head. Airy palate with fine carbonation. Nice tart cherry, not too sharp. Cherry compote. Whispers of lemon and balsamic on the crisp finish. Decent.

Bottle split at Bruce’s pad, with thanks to Bruery fanboy Kenneth, 28/05/14. Murky reddish brown with moderate off white spotting. Nose is tarte cherries, hint of dank wood, dry rot, tangy red berries. Taste comprises bitter citric rinds, tarte cherries, nice level of acidity, oaky wash, fruit balsams, earthy, dank hay. Medium bodied, fine carbonation. Solid Flemish red - ticks all my boxes.
