Vichtenaar is a beer that is brewed on the basis of deep-roasted malts, spicy hops, fruity yeast and soft water pumped from a well with a depth of 172 meters. After the main fermentation and the second ripening, the Vichtenaar undergoes a third fermentation in oak feeds for a period of several months. The large upright oak barrels have a capacity varying between 5000 and 25000 liters.

Vichtenaar is a Flemish Red-Brown ale: a traditional and typical beer for West Flanders. The taste of Vichtenaar can be described as slightly acidic and complex and this due to the long fermentation in the oak foeder. The ruddy taste of Vichtenaar makes it particularly thirst-quenching. Vichtenaar is the oldest still brewed Flemish Red-Brown ale.

Bottle. Dirty brown, smaller beige head, nonlasting. Strong soury nose, lots of balsamic notes, wine and slight caramel. Moderate sourness, vinous with some medium caramel sweetness. Vinous aftertaste. Light body. Nicely drinkable. Nice.

tyííííha! hát ember legyen a talpán aki megmondja, hogy ez most tudatosan savanyú, vagy meg van pempősödve. mindenesetre szó se róla van benn egy kis gyümölcsösség, persze csak a savszerűen maró ecet árnyékában megbújva. lefolyós sör.

From notes: red-brown colour, light beige head. Aroma's: sweetish, balsamic vinegar/sourish, light wood. Flavour is sweet and moderate sour. Light bodied. Flavour lingers. Not the best Flemish brown but still pleasant.

Creamy oaky aroma and flavor with hints of cherry and vanilla. Well rounded sourness. Also some bitterness. Caramel. A more rounded and tamed Rodenbach-type beer, that certainly has quality. Nice.

Color rojizo oscuro con espuma blanquicina de duración corta. Aroma a frutos rojos, madera y caramelo. Sabor con acidez muy presente, notas a cerezas, madera, azúcar candé y matíces vínicos. Final frutal, ácida... muy buena en cuanto a calidad/precio

330ml bottle. Pours ruby brown with a large head. Aroma is lightly sour dark fruits, toffee and a little vinegar. A bit ashy. Taste has lots of sharp vinegar and dark fruits. A bit woody.
