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.

Clear, dark chestnut color and a small tan head. Soft carbonation, sour, balsamico. Rather smooth mouthfeeling compared with the younger ones. Quit sofr.

Small, just cream-tinted head over hazy red-brown beer. Lactic acid, acetic hint, old wood, hint of chocolate; the Rodenbach host of critters. Lactic acid, some exotic unnamed fruit, red fruit, grapes. Sourish, yet an underlying barleymalt base. Tart, dry-out effect. Slick in a not oily way. Quite good batch.

Vintage 2014. Don’t remember the source and this has been on the shelves for awhile—back before I started labeling them. Reddish with very little head. Wonderful oak aroma. Balsamico and fermenting cherries underneath. Taste is tart to sour with a light, lingering apple-like sweetness at the end. Medium bodied, mild carbonation. Nice sipping.

Cherries, sherry vinegar, young red wine. Lighter and sweeter than some years - lacks a bit of depth. Oak and twigs at the end.

2014-es évjárat. Habja csak jelzés értékű, az is villámgyorsan eloszlik. Mélyvörös színű nedű. Enyhén édeskés-savanykás illat, határozott gyümölcsös, főleg meggyes, cseresznyés vonásokkal, némi tölgyfahordós beütéssel. Savanykás, gyümölcsös ízvilág, enyhe édeskés felhanggal, markáns meggyes, cseresznyés, ribizlis aromákkal, egy pici szilvával kiegészülve. Perzse a háttérben ott a tölgyfahordó is. Közepesen testes, közepesen szénsavas, alig kesernyés. A kora ellenére kirobbanó frissességgel rendelkezik, intenzív gyümölcsösséggel, mégis érezni rajta éveket. Csodás az összhang az ízek között. Nagyszerű sör.
