Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 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.
