beer_name: Trappistes Rochefort 8
text: 11.2 ounce bottle into my Chimay chalice. Pours out a deep, mostly opaque brown with a towering tan head that leaves a pretty solid wall of lace down the glass. Raisins and plums, Belgian yeast, and candied sugar all come through in the aroma. Lots of candied and dried fruit in the flavor, along with a definite wood character and a bit a of a coffee with cream taste on the finish. The alcohol is really quite subdued. Very smooth and creamy, on the heavier side. This is a superb beer and a top-notch night cap.
