The Bruery Oude Tart
Oude Tart is a masterful interpretation of a Flanders Red Ale, presenting a profoundly complex sensory journey shaped by eighteen months of maturation in red wine barrels. The experience is defined by a vibrant, vinegar-etched acidity that balances against a sturdy 8% ABV and a backdrop of toasty malt. Intricate layers of dark fruit—evoking black cherries and dried plums—intertwine with savory notes of worn leather and the structured tannins of toasty oak. This mahogany-hued ale captures the essence of traditional Belgian methods, delivering a vinous complexity that mimics a fine French Burgundy while maintaining a sharp, refreshing, and deeply evocative tartness.
Appearance. 10–17 SRM. Deep burgundy to reddish-brown with brilliant clarity. Pours with a thin, very pale tan head that shows moderate retention and fine lacing.
Aroma. High intensity featuring a complex fruity-sour profile of black cherry, plum, and red currant. Supportive toasty malt provides a base for secondary notes of vanilla, fruit leather, and a hint of peppery phenol. Low acetic acid is present but well-balanced, with no hop aroma.
Taste. Initial tartness gives way to intense flavors of dark fruit and red currants. Toasty-rich malt provides a soft middle, while the red wine barrel aging contributes vanilla, toasty oak, and a distinct leather-like complexity. The sourness is multi-dimensional and acidic but not harshly vinegary. Bitterness is low, allowing the crisp acidity and oak tannins to provide structure through a dry, wine-like finish.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a prickly, refreshing acidity. Carbonation is moderate. Noticeable alcohol warmth due to the elevated ABV, accompanied by a light, tannic astringency from the long contact with red wine barrels.
