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.

Bottle. Vintage 2016, Foeder nr 222. Color: Reddish brown, very thin beige head. Aroma: Sour and sweet, red fruit, vanilla, vinuous. Taste: Tart moderate to over moderate sourness, also moderate to over moderate sweet. Notes of red fruit and hints of sour apples, caramel, hints of vanilla and wood. Over medium body, under average to soft carbonation. Vinuous. Bit viscous and sirupy, dry-ish and bit sticky mouthfeel. Reminds me somehow of 'appelstroop'. Long lasting finish. Pretty complex, very well balanced. Great beer.

Excellent perfect beige foam on a brownish copper body. The aroma is deep sour malt, roundish and yeasty, but could come forward more and be more complex. Flavour is proper tartness with malt character, cherry-like sweetness and acidity. Full mouthfeel and good lingering aftertaste. A very good rendition of Rodenbach.

Almost clear deep purple color with a off white layer on top. Good intensity in the aroma. Medium + body and a soft carbonation level. Oily texture. Pleasant acidity and a fine mellow sweetness. Vinegar, cherries and oak are dominating the flavor. Nice tasty evening sipper. Probably a bit to much vinegar. 2013 version.
[Bottle at Humlekyllingene - March meeting 17]
