Oud Bruin

◎ Appearance

Deep chestnut brown with a warm, translucent quality when held to light. The head forms with modest density and displays moderate retention, leaving thin traces of lacing on the glass. Carbonation is gentle, showing fine bubbles that rise slowly through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced dark malt sweetness—bread crust and toasted grain notes blend with suggestions of plum and raisin. A subtle caramel undertone emerges, while the saccharin sweetener adds a clean, candied dimension that enhances rather than masks the malt character.

◐ Taste

Entry is mellow and sweet, with dark malt backbone delivering bread and biscuit notes. The mid-palate reveals dried dark fruit—plum and fig—alongside gentle roasted undertones. Bitterness is restrained; the saccharin contributes smoothness without harsh edges, resulting in a clean, easy-drinking character.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length and clean, with lingering malt sweetness and faint roasted notes. No sharp edges or alcohol burn; aftertaste remains soft and approachable.

Serve at 10–13°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
