Commercial Description:
Strong brown ale inspired by the beer brewed by Belgian Trappist monks. Very little bitterness, this beer has intense malty and sweet flavours, mixed with the taste of chocolate and caramel. It presents complex red fruit and spice flavours due to the type of yeast that is used during the brewing process. This beer is at its best only after it has aged for six months. The Rigor Mortis are complex beers designed and brewed with patience and care in the tradition of the great Belgian Abbey beers.

Rigor Mortis Abt is brewed only once a year, and is sold in April until stocks last.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours a brown color with a nice white head which remains until the beer is finished. Aroma is toffee, cocoa, spices, candy and some dried fruit. Flavour is sweet, with a very nice malt profile, though not supercomplex. There’s toffee, buttery cocoa (a bit like blending cocoa, butter and sugar to bake a cake of it), candy and spices. Some warming alcohol in the finish. Fullbodied. Very smooth mouthfeel, which is rather soft for the style. A tasty beer, which hopefully will develop more complexity after a year or so.

Bottle. Nice brown-red color. Fruit and chocolate dominates this beeer. Very lame for an 10,5% quadrupel. Not bad, but boring.

Flaske: Brun uklar øl med et fint skumhoved. Duft af gær og sukker. En let syrlighed fra gæren gør at sødmen ikke tager overhånd. I det hele taget er dette et solidt bryg men ikke fantastisk. Meget let drikkeligt i forhold til procenterne, men ikke så nuanceret som en del andre af denne type.

Bottled. Pours out in a clear deep ruby colour with a small creamy tan-coloured foam. Rich malty aroma of plums, dades, caramel, mild estery yeast, dark cherries and milky chocolate. Full-bodied with notes of caramel, nuts, sweet milky chocolate, dades, figs and sweet licorice. Long malty finish of plums and figs with touches of milky chocolate, earth and mild almondy yeast.

Bottle. Pours clear deep brown coloured with a nice off white head. Aromas of dried fruit, roasted malt, bread, caramel, nuts and alcohol. Warming alcohol in the taste with sweet notes of raisins and caramel. Nice abt.

This is a surprisingly sweet beer. Lots of dried fruit, dates, especially. Banana chips. The alcohol is very well hidden, but the sweetness would probably keep you from drinking too much of this beer.
