75cl bottle on Christmas Day 2025. Pours a dark cola brown, thin sparse off-white patch atop. Soothing acetic sweetness, not especially sour with a mild balsamic side, seemingly smoother with age.. mild oud bruin tang, umami undercurrent, excellent rounded sipper for watching Love Actually which I actually have never watched (and won't ever again).

(Draft at Café Pardaf, Antwerpen, 18 Sep 2025) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of caramel, brown sugar, oak wood and balsamic vinegar. Fruity, tart taste with caramel, vinegar, oak wood, brown sugar, dried fruit, prunes and a fairly low bitternessin a tart and sweetish finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Complex, solid and well made, as usual. Very nice.

(Bottle) Brownish dark red colour with brief foamy head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of oak wood, dried apricots, butterscotch, malt vinegar, brown sugar and honey. Malty, fruity, tart taste with oak wood, dried fruit, apricots, nuts, vinegar, figs, butterscotch, sour cherries and dark bread. No bitterness. Medium body, mainly dry. Tasty, well balanced and harmonious. Seems the acidity has softened a bit over the years. Very nice.

Uma montanha russa. Começa acida e azeda para algo neuro e acaba com um sabor duradouro e doce a cereja.

Thick-set, lightly yellowish head, stable, over reddish rustbrown beer. Lactic acid, point of acetic acid, vinous, also a tad of rubber; raisins, candi sugar, slightly soured sweetened milk. Lactic acid, rather mild for Rodenbach, candi sugar (Wayland syrup?), raisins, plums and a dash of lemon. (Red) fruity. Lipsmacking acidity, acidthinning, but quite slick, almost sticky. Good carbonation. Excellent one - the kind Rudy preferred. Txs to Stef!

Tap @Westside Pint of Origin. Brown, thin beige head. Gentle cherry oak , wine vinegar. Some rumbling richness. Acid sticks out a little much at the end but pretty good.
