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.

Pours a dark hazy brown, with a thin brown head.. The Aroma is sweet, very malty with notes of yeast, bread and alcohol. The Flavour is very malty and alcohilic with notes of nuts, dark fruits, chocolate, wood, smoke and bread. This beer is very very complex. you just keep tasting and tasting. It has a dry mouth feel. I am very impressed. A great beer!

Bottle. Body is the color of dark leather and supports medium-sized beige head. Aromas are a little more subtle than I expected... kind of a brown sugar and dark fruit mix, but not quite full enough. Flavor, on the other hand, is full and interesting with plenty to offer. It has an odd creaminess to it, that seems a bit out of place at first as it plays against the brown sugar, fruit and alcohol. After a bit, though, it seems much more at home and is downright enjoyable.

11.5oz bottle. I dig these Dieu Du Ceil labels for sure. Poured a medium and slightly hazy brownish color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of roastiness, chocolate, brown sugary, yeasty, dark fruitiness, and earthy. Tastes of roast, dark fruitiness (dark cherries), candi sugar, licorice, caramel, lighter earthiness, and chocolate. Medium alcohol burn in the finish.

Bottle from Hyde Park Wine. Poured a clear brown color with an average creamy brown head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy earthy, yeasty and alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration with a small alcohol burn. This is a good complex brew.

Pours a deep brown with medium off-white head, minimal lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, dried tart and dark fruit, sugar, and chocolate. Flavor matches well and is quite complex. Finish is a bit hot and could probably use some mellowing in the cellar, just like the bottle says, age it at least 6 months... I just couldn’t wait!

Bouteille de 341 ml. Arômes de levure belge fruitée et de fruits mûrs (raisins). Belle robe rubis foncée, belle effervescence. Plutôt fruitée en bouche, la levure et le malt (Special B ?) se combinent pour donner des accents de raisins et de pruneaux. On remarque également une touche chocolatée et caramélisée. Finale alcoolisée et relativement sèche.

Bottle split with AndyReynolds. I’ve been wanting to try this one for awhile now. It didn’t let me down. Nice sweet aroma of malts and chocolate. Flavor is complex, with all kinds of fruit and sweet undertones on top of thick malts. All complimented by a wonderful, smooth feel and finish. My only regret is that I shared half of it! I’ll definitely give this one another shot eventually. Probably put a few away in the cellar as well.
