The cork is vintage dated: 2010 so, it must be good for aging? On the bale cap it is stamped: 8-2020 – does that mean it could be aged till then?
On the paper packaging it talks about the ale having aging potential.
Appearance: dark brown body with a fine one and a half finger light beige head that thins out real quick. Has medium-light lacing on the glass.
Aroma: faint sour apple mash, sweet cherry cola, fairly simple nose
Flavors: tart apple, sweet/tart cherry, hint of white and red grapes, just a faint oaky note on the finish.
Mouthfeel: fine fizzy carbonation, cola feel, slight twang on the tongue, not a big time sour ale taste, very elegant mouthfeel
My Strength Rating: 6 – the sour style is not overpowering.
To the Point: This Flanders Oud Bruin Style Ale has a very sexy style on the taste and mouthfeel. This is a must try for any beer connoisseur. I am going to mark this one down as one of my sour beer favorites.
