Budels Oud Bruin

◎ Aussehen

Deep reddish-brown color with a warm, translucent glow when held to light. The head forms as a modest tan collar with gentle retention. Carbonation is restrained, producing fine, steady streams of small bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Sweet malt dominates the nose, with notes of dark caramel and subtle roasted grain. Soft dark fruit esters emerge alongside faint fermentation character. The overall impression is inviting and approachable, with minimal hop presence.

◐ Geschmack

Sweet malty entry transitions into a balanced mid-palate where roasted grain, dark fruit, and a gentle tartness coexist. A soft dryness emerges without aggressive bitterness; subtle funky undertones add complexity. The body is smooth and undemanding.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short to medium, fading into a dry, slightly tart aftertaste with lingering malt sweetness. No harsh edges or astringency.
