COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The brewer allow the beer to macerate with fresh cherries, raspberries and cranberries. After this maceration in oak, the beer re-ferments in the bottle. The result is RODENBACH Caractère Rouge, an exceptional RODENBACH with fruit maceration and a 7% alcohol volume. The brew is more than unique and extremely exclusive, as only 900 75-cl bottles were produced. Geunes serves this wilful beer as part of his other unique range of beer varieties in his restaurant, ’t Zilte, at the Antwerp MAS museum.

Dejlig frugt og sødme i duften. Smager som sursød slik. Lækker syrlig eftersmag og føles godt i munden. En anelse klistret i den lange eftersmag.

Fin sommerøl med masser af bær. Primært hindbær, men også jordbær. Smager skønt af syrligt slik!

Boblende rødgylden med lidt fin skum. Dufter af hindbær. Smager surt af hindbær og andre bær men runder af med en sød gæret eftersmag. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

thewolf (9882) - Kolding, DENMARK - OCT 25, 2012
Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours deep red with a medium, frothy, white head. Aroma has lots of funk, oak, cherries, dry cranberries. Fair tartness. Really fresh. Low to medium carbonation, dry and fairly light mouthfeel. Flavour has sweet strawberry, tart cherry and dry cranberry. Lovely lingering tartness. Good oak to balance.

Bottle. Pours clear deep pinkish red, lovely colour. Incredible aroma, lots of cherry, like haribo cherry sweets with some light balsamic and light woodiness. Taste is intense cherry with wood and light vinegar. Tart on the finish. I like this a lot, better than supplication

750 ml bottle @ Amundsen. Gorgeous, clear, ruby red body with a medium sized off with head with nuances of pale pink. Strong fruity aroma with cherry, almonds, acidity and wood. Flavor is sweet fruity and berries like cherry, raspberries, acidity, almond, malt and obviusly chokolate. A nice full body with a strong and lasting aftertaste, more cherry, acidity and chokolate. What a great combination of sweetness and refreshing acidity. A fine and complex beer, my memories goes a bit back to the legendary Rodenback Alexander.

Where the Wild Beers Are 2012. This was good, but I did not enjoy it as much as some others. Strawberry aroma, which I don’t believe is actually present in the beer. Flavor has fresh berries. Lightly sour. Good.
