Ichtegem Oud BruinBrouwerij Strubbe
Ichtegem, Belgium
Style: Flanders Brown Ale
Serving Style: 750 ml Bottle

A traditional sour ale from the West Flanders region of Belgium, Oud Bruin is less sour with a richer malt profile than its close cousin the Flanders Red Ale. While I prefer the more sour red, the brown is worth a try for those who aren’t crazy about the sour.

Aroma: Light lactic sour, Raisins, Caramel.
Appearance: Dark mahogany, clear. Huge off-white head that dissipated fairly quickly leaving lace.
Flavor: Caramelized raisins with background sour cherries. Maybe a hint of roast or toast.
Mouthfeel: Medium body. High carbonation.
Overall Impression: A rich dark fruit and caramel explosion with background sourness. Let this warm up a bit before drinking. Oud Bruin is not my favorite style, but I enjoyed it.
