Rodenbach Vintage 2022

The Rodenbach Vintage 2022 is a remarkable creation from the iconic Belgian brewery Rodenbach, renowned for their masterful Flemish red-brown ales. This edition is a tribute to craftsmanship and maturation, crafted from beer aged in a single foeder (large wooden cask) meticulously selected for its exceptional quality. With two years of aging, this beer has developed a unique depth and complexity. The Vintage 2022 embodies the rich history of the brewery, offering a perfectly balanced experience of sweetness, acidity, and wood influence.

Tasting note

Nose

The nose reveals complex aromas of ripe cherries, red berries, and a subtle acetic acidity. Warm notes of vanilla, caramel, and a touch of oak add a refined depth to the profile.

Taste

On the palate, this beer is full-bodied and silky, with a perfect harmony of sweet and sour. Flavors of dried red fruits, such as sour cherries and cranberries, emerge, complemented by hints of caramel and a light maltiness. The foeder's wood influence adds subtle tannins and a touch of spice, enhancing the beer’s complexity.

Finish

The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering acidity and a gentle sweetness that blend seamlessly. A light dryness from the oak lingers, providing an elegant and memorable conclusion.

Perfect Pairings

Rodenbach Vintage 2022 is delightful on its own but pairs beautifully with rich cheeses, game dishes, or desserts featuring red fruits. A beer that elevates any occasion.
