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.

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!

750ml bottle corked and caged. Dark ruby pour, slightly pink head
Aroma is huge on also in vinegar, ripe berries, sour cherries and some earthy, woody oak. Low carb, full mouth feel. Finish is very very tart, and acidic. Slight lactic note, very woody, hints of vanilla, with a boat load of vinegar and berries. Some age would be interesting.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Vintage 2014, Foeder 192. Aroma is malt, oak, tart red fruits, vinous notes, sweet and tart cherries, red grapes, touch of funk, mild vinegar, some cane sugar, and a hint of caramel. Flavour is tart and medium sour with a surprising sweetness. Medium bodied. Very tasty sour and sweet Flanders Red, lots of oak, vinous notes and tart red fruits.

Аромат классический, умеренный, квашенные и моченые яблоки, легкие нотки уксуса, немного ягод и легких фруктов. Цвет насыщенный, бледно-красный, с тонкой но постоянной пенкой. Вкус умеренный, плавный, не бьющий своей кислотой по нёбу. Легкие сухофрукты, моченые яблоки с породистой кислинкой. Послевкусие плавное, можно сказать что даже слегка сливочное, с винными нотками и уксусом. В целом, отличный, абсолютно классический и благородный кислый эль.

75cl bottle at the 1st Shrewsbury Bottle Share Jan 14, courtesy of Blackhaddock. Judging by the comments below I think I should’ve taken more notes! A cherry tartness dominates the palette with cough syrup, red wine and sour notes evolving the taste the more it breathes. Sweet, tangy moments towards the end before that cherry tartness gives you one last kiss on the cheeks.
