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.

Dark amber brown beer, small beige head. Aroma of caramel, mocha, light fruit. Quite sweet, only light sour flavour. Finish sweet, light fruity, berries and apple peel.
Not bad, but doesn’t manage to come near the level of Goudenband.
(Draught @ ’t Waagstuk, Antwerpen)

Reviewed mid July 2010, on one of my random beer nights. 25cl bottle poured into a ’Forbidden Fruit’ chalice. The body was a deep, ruby red/brown colour. A tan/off white collar sat around the glass, what head did appear left within 10 seconds of the pour. The smell was a mix of old sour notes and a red berry sweetness. The taste followed on from the aroma, Cherry and Raspberry flavours to me, with more sourness than the smell. Certainly tart, but not a cheek sucking in special like some Belgian beers I could mention. I thought it on the fizzy side, which I believe is not normal in this style, but it added a new dimension to the tasting, which I enjoyed.

25cl bottle. Brunâtre/ambrée, col fin beige. Arôme surette, boisé note de malt/cara sucre. En bouche, sûre, léger fruité noir avec en retrait ce profile boisé aigre. Garde un palais un peu de renfermé. Palais est agréable sans être trop dans l’aigre/sûre, légère en fin de bouche avec un malt et profile sucré qui complètent le tout.
