Whats In The Glass (commercial)

[Brewer_010]

mmm, got home tonight and my wife had bought these :icon_cheers: (nice surprise)

Will be doing a back-to-back test of the Rochefort 8 and 10 later this weekend

just My Opinion........... the 8 is way better than the 10. I had an 8 last night. I dont buy the 10 any more. Its great too, but a bit too much if you knoiw what i mean.

The 8 is just sooooooooooo well ballanced.

Will be interested in you views.

do inform of your findings!

cheers

You missed Nugget and Warrior.
My favourites were Nugget, Simcoe and Tomahawke. I love Nelson Sauvin as a hop but was disappointed with the Mikella Version of the IPA, Amarillo was also not as I was expecting.

Tasted all of the single hop range last night, or at least i think i did. I was driving so had tiny tasting samples while the other lads had the rest.

Loved the EKG, but then i love an english IPA so for me this worked. EKG in large quantities takes on a citrusy type flavour and aroma but in a refined way if that even makes sense. I loved it.

I enjoyed all of the beers although i found the cascade and amarillo IPAs to be less in your face than i hoped whereas the simcoe and tomahawk were leaping out of the glass.

The Raging bitch is great, but the Mokah is to die for, the best chocolate beer I've tasted :icon_drool2:

Cheers Ross

Picked a few beers up on the way home last night


Cracked into the DFH 90 minute - surprisingly tastes just like it did when I was back in Canada - so it obviously travels well enough.

Where did you score those from Maple?

Pretty outstanding beer that one (Mokah), I was quite taken with the Saison as well - although the cherry is very understated, loitering at the back of the palate. Thanks for waiting Ross.

First one from Dieu de Ciel (route des espices).
A Peppercorn Rye Beer - Really stoked about getting into this one.

Well, interesting beer, smooth silkiness that i was expecting from the Rye. mouthfeel was right were I thought it would be. but holy heck, it's like a licking a nice beer off the counter where you had just set the pepper grinder 2 minutes prior. The pepper comes in slow, but when it comes, damn does it. I really do like the spicyness of this beer. would I try to make it - I doubt it.

There will be nothing in my glass today. Alcohol is evil. I want to die.

All night poker tournament plus disgusting amounts of beer and Jagerbombs = FUBAR.

A mate got me a 6 pack of these for my birthday.

Very nice :icon_drool2:

Sorry for the plastic cup.
Note I've left the dregs in the bottle, I've decided I'm gunna try a clone using the cultured bottle yeast.

Completely agree. The 10 is lovely but just a touch too much. The 8 is perfect and competes with westmalle dubbel for my favourite dark trappist ale.
