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.

16th March 2020; Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury Monthly beer exchange. Cheers Simon for this 75cl bottle. Red hue to the clear brown body, off-white topping. Almonds and old cherries in the nose and tart taste, plenty of maltiness in there too. I am beginning to warm towards this style of beer, especially the ones that are not 'sour'.

75cl bottle @ the beer tasting at the end of the world @ Chez Sophie, March '20. Clear deep brown, off white head. Fruity sour tart malt nose. Excellent tangy tart fruity character with deep malty murmurs.. nice breezy sour edge with some pleasant red berry and cherry notes. Very good.

Som alltid nydelig, men kanskje en tanke mer robust i syrligheten enn jeg hadde forventet. Men for et drikkeøl til en anledning med litt småsnacks, så er det jo bra.
