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.

A red brown beer with a beutiful light brown head. The aroma is sour with notes of overripe fruits. The flavor is lovely sweet and sour with notes of overripe cherries and a sourness that draws the mouthwater and with a nice woody dry end.

A deep red beer with a fine beige head. The aroma is very sweet like over-ripe grapes and plums. The flavor is dry and sour with hints of sweetness. It is very acidic - almost like a gueze with notes of wood and plums. A very lovely beer.
