Flanders Brown Ale-Oud Bruin 5.5 º 28 IBU

Barna Brew

This British Brown Ale reimagines the classic style through the lens of Catalan rom cremat, offering a complex sensory experience. A rich base of caramelized sugar and toffee notes provides a sweet, malty foundation, complemented by the aromatic presence of roasted coffee and a delicate dusting of cinnamon. Vibrant orange peel and citrus-forward hops brighten the mid-palate, cutting through the nutty, toasted malt depth. The finish is smooth and balanced, blending the warmth of spice with a gentle hop bitterness, creating a sophisticated, Mediterranean-inspired interpretation of a traditional ale. The malt character is particularly expressive, mimicking the charred sweetness of burnt rum.

Appearance. Dark reddish-brown to mahogany (18–22 SRM). Clear with a moderate, light tan head that shows good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominant notes of caramelized sugar and toffee are layered with a distinct roasted coffee aroma and a subtle, spicy hint of cinnamon. A bright citrus zest from orange peel mingles with earthy hop notes. Very low fruity esters with no harsh roasted grain character.

Taste. Initial impression of sweet caramel and nutty malt, followed quickly by coffee and a light toasted character. The mid-palate introduces a refreshing orange citrus flavor and a whisper of cinnamon spice. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance for the malt sweetness. Finishes medium-dry with lingering notes of toffee and a gentle spicy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Medium-high carbonation provides a lively feel on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated.
