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 version Foeder 195 Small to medium, slowly receding off-white head; copper-chestnut to ruby clear beer. Wood, lactic & acetic acid, unripe red fruit, vinous. Sour cherries, lactic acid, old wine, just-not-ripe plums. Dry-out effect, acidthinning, very long-lasting flavours. Excellent foeder, I'd say.

*rating overgezet 2016* Het is een troebel oranje achtig bier met een dun wit schuim. Het heeft een zure gistachtige geur. De smaak is zuur en wrang.

Hazy dark red amber with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of balsamico, cherry and plum, caramel and brown sugar, with faint dusty notes of mushroom and wood. Sweetish and tart fruity and malty flavour

750ml bought at Vinens Verden Odense. Hazy deep red with lasting off-white head, sort of creamy. Red wine dominates the aroma, with wonderful vineous oak and raspberry notes, lacto, and definite diacetyl. Smmooooottthhh flavour, with wood, berry, tartness and sweetness and extreme deliciousness. Over a couple of years, this may very well turn out to be not just a superior Rodenbach but a plain masterpiece
