(3/17/08) Bottle at Gollem in Amsterdam. Dark brown color with a medium off-white head. Aroma of malt and dark fruits. Sweet and fruity flavor with some caramel, yeast, spices and a bit of alcohol in the finish. Medium to full body.

Strong fruity yeast aroma. Dark amber color with a large tan head. Light beginning with a fruit malty and lightly bitter middle finish. Palate is slightly creamy but light for the alcohol.

[#200] Did the Rochefort 10 for number 100 so this seemed fitting for 200. Pours opaque brown with a thick off-white head. Very bready, yeasty, malty aroma. None of the fruit I was expecting. Very creamy and smoothe on the palate. Flavor is more of that bread and malt with a bit of a hay component. I can see why people love this, but for my palate it just doesnt blow me away. It is a pretty young bottle though.

Pours brown tinged with yellow. Has a 1.5 cm dark tan head. Decent lacing. Smells of hops, dark bread dough, cooked green peas. Mouthfeel is slick, but it puckers the tongue, drying it out a bit. Taste is roasted malt, cocoa, white vinegar, whiskey, and some high alcohol notes. Aftertaste is very sour citrus. Becomes mustier as it warms. Not bad.

Bottle... Poured foggy ruby with a beige head, nice lacing. Aroma of sweet, roasted barley-malt. Subtle palate with a sweet acidity and a stern malt profile with some hops too. Slight alcohol for a satisfying finish.
