Clear deep brown colour, good frothy brownish head. Aroma caramel, coffee, roasty, brown sugar, liquorice. Taste heavy sweet, sugary. Light body, thick feel, sweet malty finish. In the Dutch province of Limburg an old ladies drink this or mix it 50/50 with pilsener in order to slow down in alcohol without losing the drinking flow...

@Backlog Donker bruin bier, beige kraag, enorm moutig in aroma als in de smaak, bruine suiker en karamel, je moet er maar van houden, niet mijn ding, veel te zoet. --- Beer merged from original tick of Oud Bruin on 18 May 2018 at 15:40 - Score: 3

Poured from a large screw top bottle, into a 0.2 litre, tall, thin tumbler behind the bar at t’ Pumpke, Valkenburg on 21st Oct 2012. Dark and extremely malty sweet: It was a dark brown almost black colour (but the bar is very dark, so I could be out a few shades in my eyes): on top a full, deep tan covering that hung around for the whole glass and produced some heavy lacing. The nose and taste were just too malty sweet for me really: the molasses just made this a malt drink, not a beer.

Bottle (750ml): Clear, deep chestnut-amber coloured, big - very loose - yellowish-brownish head; moderate sweetish-caramelly nose with a faint illusion of hops; moderate sweet, but also light bitter flavour, light bodied - as expected; detectable roast-malty traces in the moderate sweet caramelly finish, rounded by alight, very light bitterness in the aftertaste. Not really bad......

Taster from a 1l bottle. Clear light brown colour, light brown head. Aroma of caramel and metal. Flavour is very sweet, caramel, light hops, a bit like sweet bread, little metal in the finish. Light bodied. Although I thorouhgly dislike the style, this one is, although very sweet, not nearly as sweet as some other Dutch Oud Bruins I’ve had and thus drinkable.

(Bottle 30 cl) Deep, dark mahogany brown with a small head. Malty and extremely sweet (artificial sweeteners) with a thin, thin body. Reminds me of Danish "Hvidtøl" - just worse. Disappointing. 120101
