On aurait pu l'appeler "Oud Hini", car il s'agit bien de la Cuvée Houdini barriquée pendant 15 mois. Un style de "oud bruin" qui nous tenait à cœur. Le résultat est escompté: la base fruitée et légèrement acide de la fermentation haute résonne davantage grâce au vieillisement en tonneau, à l'apport du fût de chène.

75cl bottle from Rob the Gourmets’ Market in Brussels. F: thin with some bubbles. C: amber coppery, hazy. A: fruity, woody, acetic lactic, red berries, bit caramel. T: medium to full malty base, light woody, berries, bit acetic, grapefruits, light tannins, decent bitterness, soft carbonation, not bad yet for 17,95e one would expect more complexity here, good for the style, enjoyed.

2020 bottle from the brewery. Rather thin body, med-light carbonation. Med-light sourness and tartness, well complementing each other. Only a soft acetic character, the overall flavour is well rounded with a bit of wood. Well attenuated, low sweetness, background bitterness. Overall could use a bit more depth and intensity, but at least it is easy drinking. ABV hidden well too. Good one.

Medium, yellow head, stable, over totally clear foxy-amber beer, end of bottle containing all the deposit. Dank, lactic acid, red fruit threatening to decay, hint of ureum, white grapes, rainwater. Lactic acid, sour grapes, brown candi sugar. Faraway hint at acetic. Wood, dried fruit, and an impression of tannines. Quite light body - seems to miss a bit of beefing up. Good Oud Bruin, just the MF being on the light side, not really filling in.

Draft sample @ BXL BeerFest 2022.
Couleur pâle/ambre, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme est subtile, petite pointe de sucre résiduel, funk, effet vieille brune léger, pointe de sucre résiduel qui perce en rétro-nasal - effet prune, fruits noirs.
Palais propose de fines notes de vin, pointe d'acidité virant après qcq minutes en une subtile interprétation du vieille brune mais sans vraiment atteindre ce petit qcq chose de plus. Le côté sur le vin reste assez marqué, fruits confits, côté un peu vin blanc.
