Reddish brown 1 finger off white head. Almost no aroma except a red wine infection. Has a Flemish red ale taste but with a bit more malts than it should have. Sour is toned down. Wood and wine undertones

50cl bottle pours a murky brown with some spitty, off white head. Nose has acid, raisins, some cherries, apple cider vinegar, some heavy barrel. Flavor is tart with vinegar and blood orange, dried fruit. Tart finish. Solid.

Thank you Mathieu87 & PriorL! 500 ml. bottle sampled @ “Mathieu’s house cooling party”. Bottled on 01.20.15. Dark red amber , off-white / patchy tanned head. Nose is sour fizzy, glue, lactic, oak, sugar, red fruit jell-o & jam. Taste is fizzy sour glue notes, big sweetish red fruit, jam, sugar, jell-o, very lactic, oak, fizzy,… Fizzy jam body. Nice fizzy strongly lactic Oud Bruin with strong jam & glue notes. Honestly I expected a bit more looking at the deScription. This is good but I feel like it could have been more. 3rd time that I have a Wicked Weed beer & this is the 3rd time I feel like that. Odd.
