Introduction

Low Land Oud Bruin is a fermentation-led brown ale shaped by time, oak, and secondary bottle fermentation. It’s designed to be complex without being hard work — balanced, comforting, and rewarding to spend time with.

Flavour Profile

A classic Oud Bruin built around balance rather than extremes. Sweet malt richness meets refined acidity, with notes of caramel, dark fruits (raisin, plum, cherry), soft vanilla, gentle wood character, and a subtle clove-like spice. The finish is tart yet smooth, with quiet warmth and a wine-like depth from patient ageing.

How It Was Made

This beer was brewed as a traditional Flemish brown ale and matured patiently to allow its flavours to integrate naturally.

Process highlights

• Primary fermentation followed by extended ageing
• Matured in Bordeaux wine casks to add depth and softness
• Secondary bottle fermentation for structure and longevity

Why it matters: Time and oak soften the acidity, deepen the malt character, and allow the beer to settle into balance — creating a beer that feels complete rather than sharp or rushed.

When & How to Enjoy

Best for: Slow evenings, sharing, or as a contemplative alternative to wine

Serve: Lightly chilled, in a stemmed or wine glass

Allow the beer to warm slightly in the glass — it opens up beautifully with time.

Food Pairings

Pairs particularly well with:

• Slow-cooked or braised meats (beef cheeks, lamb shoulder, pork belly)
• Aged and washed-rind cheeses (Comté, Gruyère, aged Gouda)
• Mushroom dishes and rich sauces (risotto, roast mushrooms)
• Dark chocolate or fruit-based desserts (cherry tart, chocolate mousse)

Why it works: The beer’s malt sweetness and gentle acidity complement rich, savoury flavours and help cut through fat, while its wine-like character stands comfortably alongside food.
