Rating: 2Brasserie de Rochefort
Rochefort, Belgium
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
ABV: 7.5%
33 cl bottle
Dark brown pour with a nice lacy head that quickly dissipates. Sweet complex malty aroma.
Sweet complex malty taste also. Some dry bitterness in this beer that isn't typically hoppy. People always talk about the drinkability of these abbey ales...but I'm not feeling it. Sure, it doesn't have the hops of most strong American ales, but with the aroma and flavors I can't imagine having more than one. This also is a beer that needs to be paired with something.
Don't get me wrong, I did really like the beer, I just found it closer to an after dinner digestive than the saisons I'm used to drinking.
