Monteith's Oud Bruin is a captivating Belgian-style Oud Bruin ale that takes the drinker on a flavorful journey. Pouring a deep mahogany brown with a persistent tan head, this beer immediately entices the senses with its rich and complex aroma. Notes of dark fruit, such as plum, prune, and date, mingle with caramel, chocolate, and a hint of leather, all underscored by a subtle oakiness. The flavor profile follows the nose, delivering a harmonious balance of sweetness and tartness. Ripe plum, dark chocolate, and toffee flavors take center stage, complemented by subtle earthy and leathery nuances. The oak aging imparts a delicate touch of vanilla, spice, and a whisper of smokiness, adding depth and sophistication to the overall experience. In the mouth, Monteith's Oud Bruin is medium-bodied with a velvety texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle effervescence that complements the rich flavors, leading to a long and lingering finish that showcases the complex interplay of dark fruit, oak, and a subtle acidity. This beer is a true delight for fans of traditional and sour beers, offering a unique and enjoyable drinking experience.
