21/XII/24 - 1.5L bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Timtage Rochefort Tasting with foodpairing, BB: n/a (2024-xxx)
Food pairing: blue cheese (Fourme d’Ambert), toasted raisin and walnut bread, sour cherry compote with star anise, all prepared by yours truly.
Clear reddish brown beer, practically no head. Aroma: a bit oxidized, leathery, dry dusty impression, some cardboard, earthy. MF: lively carbon, medium body. Taste: a bit sweet, nice, earthy, caramel, some milk chocolate, a little hoppy, dry touch. Aftertaste: bitter notes, dry, hint of caramel, a bit spicy, milk chocolate, slightly sweet, soft acidity, nice stuff!
Brown, huge malts, spicy cardboard
