Rodenbach Vintage is the unique result of selection by our Rodenbach brew masters, the barrel after two years of maturation has produced the best beer, "the best barrel of the year". The label is always the number of barrel stated and the year which marks the beginning of maturation.
Rodenbach Vintage is 100% matured old beer, resulting in superior Rodenbach Grand Cru. Its taste is complex, round, intense and refreshing. Typically, the apple tart fruitiness combined with caramel, wild honey and oak with a hint of vanilla, cherry and licorice. Its aroma has hints of caramel and oak, as well as notes of green apples mixed with honey and chocolate. The soft sour, fruity aftertaste is long and nicely balanced like a grand cru wine.

2015 bottle. Aroma is balsamic vinegar, overripe dark fruit, cherry pits, caramel, bread. Pours murky root beer brown with a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is sour (8/10) with dark fruit, oak, lemony, green apple flavors. Mouthfeel is pretty foamy, but not over the top. Great stuff.
