Brasserie Des Rocs Triple Impériale
Thnaks to bgramer for this bottle!! 11.2 oz. &gt; Chimay goblet The color is very vibrant with a hazy amber, big carboantion that creates and supports a 2" deep crown, the brown-tinted crown looks lively and dissipates pretty fast but remains lively throughout. This is a very interesting scent, sweet and sour fruiy yeast, tangy, tart and wild yeast whiff's. Fermented grapes, rootbeer, sweet red berries later on. The flavor is much more sweet overall, it's down-right syruppy sweet malt and packed full of big, juicy fruits like, black berries, strawberries and slightly sour red grapes. The malt complexity is massive with obvious crystalized candy adjuncts to thicken and sweeten the malt. The heat is a bit hot and out of balance with a slight medicinal edge. The hop balance is nice and spicey, popping out right at the end. This one is unique and bold but lacks the amazing balance of some other examples of it's style. The feel is great, crisp and smooth...i call it luxurious because that's what I've come to expect from a really good Belgian ale. do yourself a favor and put this one in the cellar.
