The Belgian beer style Oud Bruin is a dark beer that originated in Flanders Oud Bruin means 'old brown' in Dutch and describes the characteristic hue of the brew The specialty has a complex taste that brings aromas of ripe fruit, acidity and caramel to the glass It is a sweetish beer that is accompanied by a slight acidity that cleverly balances the taste of the drink Some variants also contain aromas of cloves, pepper and cinnamon, which give the beer extra spice, which give the beer an additional spice To achieve the beautiful depth and complexity, the Oud Bruin is aged for a long time Some examples mature for up to a year, gaining aroma and intensity during this period The beer style has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages Back then, all beer was stored in wooden barrels These barrels gave the beer an acidic note and a slight smoky flavor Today, Oud Bruin beers are often stored in steel barrels, but the unmistakable taste has remained
