Trappistes Rochefort 8
Appearance- Transluscent amber with an off-white head. The head has some staying power, and leaves a very thin lacing. Aroma- Lots of complex malt sweetness. Getting some dark ripe fruit; plums, raisens, molassas. Yet oddly crisp and fresh smelling. Very enticing. Taste- Practically no malt sweetness. A strange dryness in the middle, like figs or soemthing. Some prune in the after-taste to A slightly hot and spicy finish. Obviously, a more attenuated version of the "6". Mouthfeel- A td over-carbonated. Body is rather thin. Fairly dry. Clings to the mouth well, giving you a robust after-taste. Drinkability- It's interestig, but the spiciness and over-carbonation turned what was a good beer into a mediocre one.
