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.

Deep reddish brown, no head. Aroma is woody with cherries, toffee. Much more sweet than sour. Moody cherries, old raspberries, wood, caramel. Acidity peeks out at the end. In date but a bit past it - still pretty good though.

Foeder #169. Very nice red sour. Great balance, but i can’t distinguish between this and the grand cru really, has a very similar house flavour. Bruges beer shop

Pours a dark, brownred with amber glow. Creamwhite colored, relatively fast fading, medium small head. Scent is fairly closed. Some oak, very mildly lactic acid, touch fleshy... Not as outspoken as other Vintages are/were. Taste is fairly sharp, acetic acidity is quite high, even a tad burning. Les pronounced (but not forgetting) on the oak. Rather high carbonation. Not the smoothest year so far, actually might be one of my least favorites honestly. Which still is a very good beer - it's just... Even better usually.

Pours a clear, redbrown. Stable, creamy, creamwhite head. Scent is full, typical RB 'fleshyness', mild fruity undertone, oak, some velpon ( not too much ) . Taste is soft. Rather low on acidity ( lower than other vintages, or at least from what I remember, this isn't a side by side tasting ) yet more aroma, more oakyness, more 'fleshyness' . This walks into the direction of Duchesse De Bourgogne. Lower carbonation, fairly fullbodied. Véry easy drinker. Bit velpon, very mild acetic acid in the aftertaste, but both are low enough to be acceptable, and even enjoyable. Could be a tad more sour, a tad more refined for me, but nevertheless this remains a great beer.
