Von Seitz TheoreticAles A Golden Moment In Time
Flanders Red Ale 6 º
A Tennessee interpretation of an Oud Bruin, this wild ale merges Belgian tradition with foraged farmhouse character. It presents a complex tapestry of rich malts layered with deep notes of plum, raisin, and black cherry. The wild fermentation introduces a gentle, integrated lactic acidity that balances the residual sweetness of caramel and toffee. This Old Bruin features a smooth, mahogany-hued body and a clean, tart finish. The foraged elements add a subtle earthy depth, complementing the dark sugar and dried fruit profiles typical of the style while maintaining a refined, cellar-aged elegance.
Appearance. Deep reddish-brown to mahogany in color (SRM 18-22). Excellent clarity with an average-sized, light tan head that displays moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma. High intensity with a rich malt profile of caramel, treacle, and light chocolate. Pronounced dark fruit esters reminiscent of dates, plums, and black cherries. A moderate, clean sourness is present without acetic notes, complemented by low spicy-peppery phenols and a hint of nutty oxidation.
Taste. Initial impression of sweet-and-sour complexity. Medium-high malt flavors of burnt sugar and toffee are balanced by a medley of dark fruit and a firm, well-integrated lactic sourness. Hop flavor is absent and bitterness is restrained. The finish is long and slightly tart with a lingering sherry-like character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, rounded texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth at 6% ABV. No astringency.
