mikeweil Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) This weekend's evening bottle - 2019 Riesling vom Löss, trocken, Lorcher Kapellenberg. I'm not a Riesling fan, but this one tastes nice. A gift from a friend whom I supply with my CD doubles.

Niko Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Â To explain the significance, let me cite a review from ratebeer.com "The trappist monks of Rochefort are not known for being very progressive or open to change - in fact, their range of just three beers, each one based on the other, is perhaps the most stable and 'fixed' of all Belgian breweries: since the introduction of the 'intermediate' Rochefort 8 in 1954, joining the already existing 6 and 10, absolutely nothing has changed. Until now: after I have been playfully pondering about the idea for years, the monks suddenly decided to create a tripel, their first new beer in 66 years (though it seems to be inspired by a brew they made somewhere in the 1920s). I could hardly believe it when I first read about it - I thought it was some or other practical joke among beer geeks on social media, of the kind you see popping up each year on April Fool's Day - but I have it right in front of me now and it is indeed very real."

mjazzg Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I've recently been drinking the only Trappist ale brewed in the UK, Tynt Meadow. Brewed at the monastery where my uncle spent his life as a monk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Never had that one! Happy to now live in a place where seven of the twelve existing trappist beers can regularly be found in supermarkets... but have to look into the gaps at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I wonder why they didn't call it 12 or 13 instead of Triple? Maybe they didn't want to scare people away by pointing out the ABV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they didn't want to scare people away by pointing out the ABV? these numbers are loosely tight to ABV, so the 6, 8 and 10 have resepctive about 7.5, 9.2 and 11.2 ABV... heavy beers but excellent - which means they hide the ABV reasonably well... in that logic the new one would be the 7... the major innovation is that the 6, 8 and 10 are all dark beers while this one here is a blonde one... in the logic of these trappist beers, a Dubbel is a somewhat heavy, sweet dark beer with about 7%, a Quadrupel is a decidedly heavy, sweet dark beer with about 10% while a triple is a somewhat fruity/spicy blonde beer with about 8.5%... so the Triple makes perfect sense here because it signals the lighter color and somewhat different taste...
