Tradition meets progress with this classic beer. The flavour of Liefmans Oud Bruin, dating back to 1679, is derived from special malts matured in open vats and matured for between four and eight months. The fermentation is then restarted by mixing older and younger beers together, leading to a more balanced and consistent flavour. Older beers have richer aromas and, when blended with younger brews, they gain in freshness and sweetness. Liefmans Oud Bruin smells and tastes of grilled malt and caramel, enhanced with fruit and herbs. Acidity and sweetness are perfectly balanced. Sheer perfection!
