Trappistes Rochefort 10
A- Thick dense tan head about 3" on a murky dark brown body. Great head retention with it sticking on the side of the glass as it slowly bubbles down. S-Alcohol comes through the thick chocolate malts. In this there are blends of toffee, sweet brown sugars, cloves, almost like a banana spice, lighter dark fruits, some breads. Just a great complex aroma! T- Strong alcohol cuts through the big malts and warms the throat. Chocolate, toffee, a handful of sugars, hints of grapes, plums and other darker fruits, hints of cloves throughout, light grass hops just to help balance it out a tiny bit leaving a very light bitterness, all help make up this brew. I am sure there are a few flavors I am missing out also. Very complex beer. M- Full body with low carbonation. D- It is pretty darn good. I would say (flavor wise) it is in between a Westys 12 and a St. Berny's 12. However for carbonation it leans a lot more towards Westy 12. Very good beer just a tad bit pricey IMO.
