Commercial Description:
Strong brown ale inspired by the beer brewed by Belgian Trappist monks. Very little bitterness, this beer has intense malty and sweet flavours, mixed with the taste of chocolate and caramel. It presents complex red fruit and spice flavours due to the type of yeast that is used during the brewing process. This beer is at its best only after it has aged for six months. The Rigor Mortis are complex beers designed and brewed with patience and care in the tradition of the great Belgian Abbey beers.

Rigor Mortis Abt is brewed only once a year, and is sold in April until stocks last.

Nose is slightly metallic, rich with grains / bread, and raisins. Poured like a cola. Taste was pretty boozy, very similar to rochefort 10, thin and hot from candi sugar, finishes with banana peel.

12-oz. Thanks, BitBucket! Poured blind. Crystal clear and very dark amber with bright caramel highlights. Dense creamy dark tan mousse. Big smokey nose. Thick creamy body. Buttery, butterscotchy, caramelly mid-palate. Toasty, roasty finish. Very nicely crafted, and the kind of quads in this 4-way blind pour with westy, bernie, and leviathan.

11.5 oz bottle. Cloudy brown with a beige coating. Nose is brown sugar, dough and raisin. Almost medium body with a tingle. Taste is caramel, plum and wood with bitter grass and alcohol. A bit rough on the edges. Could use more time in the cellar.

341ml bottle quite fresh. Pours brown with close to no head. Great lacing. Aroma is spicy, dark fruits, some caramel as well. Alcohol is quite present. Strong warming effect even if the beer just got out of the fridge. Taste is dark fruits, spices. Very abt like. You can really taste the alcohol (in a Rochefort 10 kind of way). Taste as some complexity. Some hints of cherries. Very rich, warm and comforting brew.

Bottle from Liquormax in Loveland, CO. Shared with Marcus. Pours ruby brown with a decent foamy beige head. Quad aroma - with a touch of tobacco. Full bodied with mild carbonation. Touch of heat. Quad flavors. Finishes with a balance of malt and bitter - not a lot of bitter - but a great tasting brew.
