COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Blond like a ray of sunlight, crowned by thick foam and sustained by a pronounced effervescence, this beer is the delight of all our customers! Its bouquet is the result of a large array of floral and fruity esters which are complemented by a light and delicate fragrance of malts and hops. The first draught reveals a full-bodied beer with a malty sweetness and a warm touch of alcohol. A hint of acidity is discovered in the aftertaste, but it is quickly overcome by the sharp bitterness of the hops. The Rigor Mortis are complex beers designed and brewed with patience and care in the tradition of the great Belgian Abbey beers.

UPDATED: APR 11, 2006 Coriander, wit smell on an alcohol promontory...Robust flowers appear in an endless yeast field...Dispersed oranges onto the horizon and buzzing, sticky honey bees...Picturesque white grapes and fat malt...

A recent April 2006 batch had way more banana yeast character than before, and appeared to be more authentic than the usual DDC Belgian ale...Perhaps a yeast change? Anyway, this is another DDC ale which seems to have improved...

Strong taste, very flowery and intense bitterness. Very close to the mother of all Trippel, Westmalle
