Tradition meets progress with this classic beer. The flavour of Liefmans Oud Bruin, dating back to 1679, is derived from special malts matured in open vats and matured for between four and eight months. The fermentation is then restarted by mixing older and younger beers together, leading to a more balanced and consistent flavour.

Аромат более напоминает красный Фландрийский эль, хорошо ощущается квашеность от кислых яблочек, немного сухофруктов. Цвет красивый, пенка неплохая, держится долго. Вкус уже больше напоминает заявленный стиль. Пиво в целом питкое, карбонизация небольшая. Все еще ощущается небольшие кислые нотки от яблок и сухофруктов. После, появляются карамельные составляющие от солода. При глотке легкая кислинка, ощущается слива и винные нотки от красного вина. В целом отличное пиво для данного стиля, минус только в одном, все нотки ощущаются не слишком сильно.

0,25l bottle at home. Rather old looking bottle, unsure of age. dark brown color, no head. smells oxidized, light berries, parfumy, sirupy, honey, average smell. medium body, no carbonation. tastes oxidized, sirupy, honey, peppery, bit rusty, marzipan. finishes lightly sweet with notes of oxidation, sirup and peppery notes. probably quite a bit past its prime.

Slight cherry aroma, malty. Vinous flavor with some sourness, cherry and oak. Thin to medium bodied. Very likeable beer that has quality and even some depth.

Misty chestnut brown. Large off-white head. Aroma: nicely acidic, bready, fruity, at some point reminiscent of kvass. Light to medium body. Taste: medium dry, lightly sour, bready, fruity, somewhat malty. Very good and truly different.
