Trappistes Rochefort 10
Pours a dark brown to burgundy color. A fair amount of visible sediment. 2 finger, light brown, creamy head. Pour this carefully cause the head is rather explosive. Very nice lacing, the head never really disappears, it just coats the glass all the way down. Smell is amazing, so many aromas detected. From dark fruits like raisins, and a caramel nuttiness with a hint of vanilla to a very nice spiciness. Almost a buttery richness to the aroma. I can detect some alcohol on the end. Much like the smell, this beer tastes fantastic! A very delicious caramalized malt flavor, rich in toffee figiness up front followed by a very mild alcohol taste which does nothing but warm your insides. The alcohol is so well hidden in this brew its scary considering the ABV. This is a full bodied brew, a very rich and the awesome taste lingers in your mouth, begging for another sip. This is by no means a sessionable beer, however the drinkability on this is astounding.
