Oud Bruin, the traditional brown ale of Flemish Belgium, here painstakingly recreated and lovingly tended by Dave Bell, our Wild Workshop brewer. Prolonged ageing in wood with a blend of yeasts and Lactobacillus creates a beer bursting with dark sour cherry and dried fruit flavours, topped off with coffee and chocolate notes. Dark and complex, a little bit like our Dave. Ask not for whom the Bell toils, he toils for thee.

375ml bottle at Benny’s place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a murky medium brown colour with a thin broken, off-white head. The aroma is dry yeasty, light tart citrus. The flavour is over moderate sour, with a crisp, acidic, somewhat light, super dry tart cherry, yeasty palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Didn’t get any of the promised coffee or chocolate notes as the yeasty sourness was somewhat overpowering.

Bottle pour at Garage Project Kingsland. Pours hazy brown. Cherry, biscuit, plum, fig, sharp, touch of balsamic, slight toffee biscuit sweetness, nice woody vanilla note. Medium body. Not quite the complexity of the benchmarks of the style, but a gorgeous flavour. Very nice.
