Trappistes Rochefort 6
Bottle courtesy of Weissbierdrinker, thanks dude! A - Pours a murky, light brown with reddish notes and lot's of sediment chunks floating around. Cap of off white head with brown yeast portions on top. Medium carbonation. Good cap remains throughout but there is no lacing to speak of unless agitated. S - The best smelling BSDA I've ever smelt. Smells really fresh. I can smell hops which is a really pleasant surprise. Nice and floral. I don't get much aside from that. Maybe some raisiny fruits, sweet Belgiany character and fruitiness as well but that's it. A nice aroma that I certainly didn't expect. T - The floral hops are there again with more raisin and possibly other pitted fruits. Some spice is there too I think. The hops are the best part of this. Really nice flavour. M - Creamy, slight carbonation. Medium body, certainly not thin. D - Oh ya! This was such a great surprise. I'm not sure if I'm interpreting this differently but the hop presence is a good addition to the style. Well done.
