Telegraph Obscura Arborea is an ale brewed in the style of Belgium’s Oude Bruin, the famous Flanders Sour Brown Ales. Our wild brown ale has a malty character suggesting dark caramel and dried fruit, and is balanced by a refreshing lactic tartness from the wild yeast used during aging. Cherry-like aromas and a hint of oak round out this sensory experience and make for an extremely satisfying and unique beer. Proost!

Botte, 75cl. A dense, two-finger light beige head sits on top of an unclear, amber body. The aroma has a fruity, sugary touch, like the syrup from canned peaches. Some dark sugar too, hints of caramel. It’s quite effervescent, full-bodied and dry, even though the taste has quite a lot of sweetness. Peaches and sugar, some yeasty hints. Peachy, sweetish finish. Well, a quite weird one, I’m not really sure what to think of it. 121109
