Big thanks to Koopa for this bottle, batch 3

Cloudy light brown with a small head that quickly recedes to a thin ring. No lacing. Smells quite tart, theres some cherries, vinegar, oak, red wine, and a slightly funky note. It tastes just wonderful very similar to the nose, but it all comes through almost like grapefruit juice aged in a red wine barrel with a very sour dry finish. Absolutly no hint of alcohol anywhere, I think I drank this faster then any other 10% abv beer I've ever had. The carbonation is just a tad low for my liking, but the mouthfeel was still light

I'm relatively new to sours and this is my second Flanders Oud Bruin, the first being Petrus Aged Pale. I was expecting it to be a bit more effervescent, with a giant head. Once I got past the appearance I really enjoyed this beer. I'm not a fan of wine at all, but Rosso E Marrone blends the taste perfectly in a great sour, I will seek this one out.

Another from the trade with ShowerBeers

A-Deep brown in the glass, one finger head that doesn't last long, clear ruby when pouring.

S-Good deal of funk, grapes, oak and wine.

T-Very funky, balanced out with oak, grapes, ends with a nutty caramel note ala a brown ale.

M-Light to medium bodied, slight carbonation, not quite watery but near it.

O-A great sour, good balance and funky.
