Draught Retreating cream head over opaque dark brown beer. Acetic (less) & lactic (more) acid, old wood, brown candi sugar, balsamico, raisins, vinous, sourish chocolate. Nice lactic/wood/fruity esters' combination - ideal Oud Bruin. Sweet-sour in absolutely perfect balance. Challenges the best Rodenbach products. Warming up, faint meaty esters. Acidburn and -thinning, good carbonation. Outstanding Oud Bruin. To me the best Vleesmeester has ever produced, I'm looking forward to more of this kind.
