Another Trappist Beer? Yes! Why? Because it's awesome! This beer was something special. So much so that my fellow ESB (that's Extra Special Bro) will be posting his own thoughts on it as well shortly.
This beer poured a deep burgundy/brown color that became even more intense with the sediment. The beer smells tremendous with hints of dark fruit and malts. The first sip is extremely impressive. There's loads of fruit with a wonderful sweetness that is not in the least bit over the top, and the high alcohol of the beer gives an incredible warming sensation all over. There is also a hint of grape, which I find extremely enjoyable.
Rochefort carries a hefty price tag at $5.99 for an 11.2 oz bottle, but this beer is too good to pass up. If you see it, buy it! But it now! There's nothing to lose in this investment. The Trappist Beers receive lots of praise, and for good reason... but with their high cost, how can you be sure you're not getting an over-hyped beer (coughOrvalcough)? Well take my word on this one. You will not be disappointed. This is how beer was intended.
