Description
ABV: 7% IBU: --
BREWERY DESCRIPTION:
Rodenbach Caractère Rouge was developed in 2011 in collaboration with top chef Viki Geunes (2 Michelin stars). This exclusive beer is created by adding an extra six months’ maceration with cherries, raspberries and cranberries to beer that has already undergone two years’ maturation in oak casks. The result is an exceptional Rodenbach. Caractère Rouge is vinous with a very complex, fruity nose of raspberry and cherry combined with notes of wood and caramel. The undertone consists of an aroma of violets, leather and a hint of tobacco. The taste is rather sour but exceptionally pure. With its long, clean aftertaste and its unique combination of delicacy and strength, Rodenbach Caractère Rouge is reminiscent of a crisp Burgundy wine.
INGREDIENTS:
A blend of 75% young beer fermented in steel tanks and 25% old beer aged 2 year in large oak casks. A six months maceration with fresh sour cherries, raspberries and cranberries is followed by refermentation in the bottle.
