21/XII/24 - 1.5L bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Timtage Rochefort Tasting with foodpairing, BB: n/a (2024-xxx)
Food pairing: pasta alla crema di zucca, with muscat squash, hokaido squash and butternut, nduja infused olive oil, parmigiano, scallions and pumpkin skin chips, all prepared by yours truly.
Clear reddish brown beer, practically no head. Aroma: pretty oxidized, earthy, tobacco, some cardboard, dusty, a little spicy. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: nice, pretty sweet, earthy, some caramel, soft roast, dry, chocolate, bitter, spicy, nice! Aftertaste: dry, earthy, tobacco, some caramel, milk chocolate, little bitter, more oxidation, malty finish, lovely beer! This one has aged very gracefully!
