BREWERS' DESIRE 2022 - Bruinen Os Lambic Barrel Aged

For this special edition, the Bruinen Os was brewed according to the traditional lambic brewing method, before ageing for two years in a lambic barrel from the Timmermans brewery. This is a strong, mixed fermentation, brown ale. Bruinen Os is a delicious beer with all the characteristics of an oud-bruin, recalling Bruinen Os on the nose, with notes of caramel and ripe fruits, in perfect harmony with aromas of almonds, nuts, and vanilla after ageing in a lambic barrel. A decidedly vinous touch on the palate, similar to port, that is complemented by nice acidity and a delicate fruity note that becomes stronger and stronger as the beer ages. Dry with the comforting heat of alcohol at the back of the mouth. As each Brewer’s Desire is aged in a different, unique barrel, each edition has its own distinct history, aromas and flavours.
