2013-10-18, parallel tasting between the first batch (no bottle info; 8-5-8-4-17=42) and a recent one (vintage 2011, bb 2013-12, 9-5-7-4-16=41)
The younger vintage is darker in color, the older vintage has a better head and head retention. The younger one has a smashing apricot aroma, and sharp acidity; the older one is more round, complex and funky.

Mahogany color with red shades; small creamy head. The aroma is initially a mix of lactic sourness and chocolate; there is also a light fruit touch, very light acetone; then the acetone disappears and some more apricots show up. The body is well structured, maltier than other Oud Bruin; there is less apricot than when I tried it from the tank; the light acetone may be disturbing; but overall it’s well balanced, and it may gain complexity in some time.

Hazy dark amber color. Nice lactic aroma, harmonious, a bit fruity, delicate. Good body strength, dynamic caramel flavor, with light residual sweetness, light acidity and fruitiness, well mixed. Correct bitterness. Balanced. Very interesting.
