Beer #13 - Trappistes Rochefort 8

Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale

Purchased at: Vintage Cellar
What makes this beer different: Dark Rich Taste!
Will I be drinking this again: Definitely.
Grade: A

Comments:
This is a wonderful Trappist Ale, and one of my favorites of all time. The brewery at Rochefort has been brewing beer since 1595. Plenty of time for them to perfect their recipes. The three recipes they have, 6, 8 and 10 are each aged for 6, 8, and 10 weeks respectively. It is a sweet beer, with a generous amount of alcohol; so it goes down so smooth but lets you know you're alive!

One Word to the Monks - BRAVO!

Recommendations:
Pair this ale with a nice french miche coupled with brie; trust me, you will LOVE IT :)

Beer #42 - Sapporo Premium Beer

Style: Japanese Rice Lager Purchased at: Sakura Japanese Steakhouse & World Market What makes this beer different: Japanese Will I be drinking this again: Yup Grade: C+ Comments: This brew is a carbonated, frothy, medium bodied lager with a dry finish and possesses hints of bitter hops Beer pours egg yolk yellow with a creamy white head; sweet malts and soft grains lie in the undertones of this subtle smelling lager. Unfortunately nothing really sets this beer apart from the crowd, other than it being a Japanese Lager. Don't get me wrong, it is very good and quite drinkable! It just isn't a game changer for me, which is why my score isn't higher. Go out and give this one a try, it is definitely worth it ... ESPECIALLY for my light beer lovers out there! Recommendations: Pair with Shrimp Tempura and Edamame Soy Beans is perfect!

Beer #40 - Bull & Bones Maroon Effect Ale

Style: Red Ale Purchased at: Bull & Bones Restaurant and Brewery What makes this beer different: The Wonderful Smell Will I be drinking this again: Definitely Grade: B+ Comments: This is my favorite beer at a local brewhaus here in Blacksburg. It collides perfectly with BBQ, Nachos, and fresh Pretzels. The smells consist of fresh cinnamon, molasses, and cloves. It reminds me of being out in the woods when I was little. The color is beautiful as well. If you are ever in Blacksburg head to Bull & Bones and give one of their brews a try! Updates to follow .... Recommendations: 1) Order the Brewery Sampler, 2) Order a pint of your favorite brew sampled, 3) Order some Game Day Nachos, YUM!
