Trappistes Rochefort 8
poured into a tulip A. a very dark brown beer with a huge amount of head held up to the light it is a murky caramel color. About 3 fingers worth of root beer float like head. S. brown sugar, caramel...some dark fruits and sweet bread....almost has a little caramel apple smell to it. Very good!! T. Similar to nose, but MUCH boozier. Didn't really smell the alcohol that much but you can definitely taste it. Has that typical Belgian ale smell. A touch of bitterness in there to finish it off as well. M. about medium bodied. A little too much carbonation for my taste. A little dry finish at the end. D. A little expensive and boozy so drinkability will go down a bit. It's a good beer, but doubt I'll be rushing to grab me another one. It's pretty accessible but I'd rather go for the 10. Still good none the less but the smell is it's best trait IMO.
