Bottle, thanks Allen! Coffee, cigarette smoke and toffee aroma. Jet black, brown lip. Coffee in the foreground, cigar tobacco, vanilla, honey roasted almonds. Medium to light body, smooth mouthfeel. Coffee roast lingers on, turns into a berry mote on the finish. At first impression I found the beer to be a bit harsh, but after it opened up a bit it turned into a quite delicare brew flavorwise.

2013-10-18, parallel tasting between the first batch (no bottle info; 8-5-8-4-17=42) and a recent one (vintage 2011, bb 2013-12, 9-5-7-4-16=41)
The younger vintage is darker in color, the older vintage has a better head and head retention. The younger one has a smashing apricot aroma, and sharp acidity; the older one is more round, complex and funky.
2009-07-25, bottle, 7-5-7-4-15=38
Mahogany color with red shades; small creamy head. The aroma is initially a mix of lactic sourness and chocolate; there is also a light fruit touch, very light acetone; then the acetone disappears and some more apricots show up. The body is well structured, maltier than other Oud Bruin; there is less apricot than when I tried it from the tank; the light acetone may be disturbing; but overall it’s well balanced, and it may gain complexity in some time.
2009-04-04, "Mange, c’est de la bière!" at the brewery, from the maturation tank, brewed in Sept 2008, 7 months old, 7-4-7-4-15=37
Brewed using a locally produced apricot wine, 2 years old
Hazy dark amber color. Nice lactic aroma, harmonious, a bit fruity, delicate. Good body strength, dynamic caramel flavor, with light residual sweetness, light acidity and fruitiness, well mixed. Correct bitterness. Balanced. Very interesting.
