Almost done with the Belg-a-Rama beers. Here's the original Rodenbach, now brewed by Palm, quoting from my June 2004 notes from a bottle:
"Dark, plummy red color, with a brief, perfunctory white head, soon gone.
Aroma is in a realm of it's own, bold sour cherries, slight suggestion of cocoa and nuts, a brown ale emboldened with brazen fruit, and atingle with spices.
floods the mouth with flavor, brisk, fruity, distinctive, tangy, just a touch sour, with a trickle of sweet. Very tasty, very lively on the tongue.
Medium to full in body, brimming with great taste, medium length, slightly sour/slightly sweet fruity finish.
Excellent. Utterly delectable."
I like it even better on tap, but not as well as the Grand Cru, or the Cuvee des Jacobins, both of which will appear relatively soon
