Pours a very dark broiwn, mocha head rises up slowly, remains small, than dissapears quickly. Scent is quite intense, that 'glue' type of aroma you sometimes get in Oud bruin or alike's. Bit of dark maltyness. Taste is sharp, tart, very glue-like (this specific aspect I generally don't like, is quite strong here) . Crunchy dark malts. Fairly high acidity. Not at all bad, but very focussed mainly on an aspect I don't like.

Draught Small but quite stable yellow-cream head and lots of lace over deep cola-coloured beer. Old winecasks and just more than a hint of the smokey Islay in the background. I Boerejongens /I (raisins on booze), cloved orangepeel. Leather/leathergrease, lactic acid, sour grapes and dried unsugared plums vying for attention. A jumble, yet balanced. Warming up, the phenols of the whisky strengthen. Feels not very heavy, but the alcohol & fusels are prominent. Lipsmacking acidity, well carbonated. Guys @ Vleesmeester... will you please keep focusing on Oud Bruin and their ilk? You're going from strength to strength there.
