Rochefort 8

Today's offering is a dark Trappist beer






 

Appearance:

Dark copper with nice head that last

Aroma:

Sultana is the dominant aroma with a slight hoppyness in the background.

Taste:

Starts with sultana which fades to a rich bread flavour with a slight roasted flavour and a small amount of floral hops. The finish is warming and swings from sultana to bread flavour and a toast of roasted grain also comes in and out but is slightly weak and I would like a bigger hit of flavour in the finish.

Overall:

A good beer which should be enjoyed slowly but that finish is a bit weak to really elevate it to a great beer.

7.0/10
