Commercial Description:
Bottle: Filtered.
A blend of 1/3 young beer and 2/3 of beer aged 2 years in large oak vats. The more important proportion of oak matured beer contributes to its fruity taste, complexity and intensity. The finish is worthy of a great wine.

750 ml bottle from Market of Choice. Poured out dark brown that turns red when hit by direct sunlight, nice lacing, quick evaporating head. Aroma is extremely vinous, nice bit of cherry as well and perhaps some wood. Flavor was a lot sweeter than I expected, with just the right hint of sour as well. Nice mixture of grape and cherry flavors with some light woodiness. Very tasty beer.

Sour Apples, vinegar, red wine, red rice yeast, Extremely refreshing, I wish I had the whole bottle to myself, but I did nurse my two ounces for about 45 minutes. Sweet, sour, lactic, everything is in here. The body is not as thick as the Duchese de Borgnogne, tho.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a dark red colour with a small size head and loads of carbonation. Smell is very present, is sour and fruity, also has some bitterness there. Taste is also sour and fruity, also a bit smoky and can taste something else I can’t place there too.

Bottle Reddish brown colour with a beautiful ruby hue. Pretty cream head. Aroma remniscent of berries and vanilla, with a rather strong sour nose. Taste of oak, red wine,fruits and balanced but strong sours.

33cl bottle pours ruby/reddish, thick off white, light mocha head Aroma is our, wood/oak and barrel with nice vinegary aromas. Taste, a step ahead from the regular Rodenbach. Lots of sour and fruit tarness; with a wine like palate of raisins with a nice fizzling palate.

Bottle. Pours a bubbling red-brown with a gray head. Nose is very astringent, some nice oak. Flavors have a real nice cherry, sweet-tarts, a very clean tart. Very enjoyable beer.
