Haandbryggeriet – Haandbakk Nordic Oud Bruin 375ml Bottle 6.7%. Sour Red/Brown ale, aged in oak wine barrels for 18months.
No idea how old this one is, but its best before 05/05/23. Thats fine, its an Oud Bruin style beer, its just going to be extra sour…
Brown sediment on the lid and caking the lip of the bottle (saved for brewing). Cloudy “dirty” dark brown colour, no head, little noticeable carbonation. Smells like an intense oaky red wine, leather, dark fruity vinegar, a little farmy spiciness. Taste is sour and tannic, that leads to sour citrus more lime than lemon, pucking green apples, and a big oak dryness on the finish, but the tartness keeps the mouth watering, and I keep sipping. Still great, regardless of when it was meant to have been at its best.
