Trappistes Rochefort 8

Had another Rochefort 8 11.2 oz bottle this evening from the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy.

Stats:
9.2% ABV
Beer Advocate score: 91 (outstanding)
Belgian Strong Dark Ale
Born on: Aug 11

Great head this time. About an inch thick at the start and dissipated slowly to a thin head all across the top. Perhaps because I poured it a little more carefully this time. You need to be careful pouring this one as there is sediment at the bottom of the bottle that you don't want in the glass. It has a nice deep orange color and a GREAT malty taste. If you store your beer in a fridge, be sure to let it warm up for about 5-10 minutes before drinking. It tastes much better after it warms a bit.
