Earthbound

Brasserie de Rochefort

Trappistes Rochefort 6 Belgian (Dubbel) Ale

Avocado seed brown, roiling body with cream snow drifts, and woodcut tsunami wave lacings that vanish to swishes. Dried vines, roasted hazelnut, light but raw cane sugar, cinnamon toast, Swedish licorice with salt, dark applesauce, and a pleasant, funkiness from an earthbound tuber; rutabaga? Heavenly mouthfeel! Near perfect! What texture. A revelatory experience. Clearly enlightened monks inspired by the divine. Tea biscuit, toast, dark almond, balanced malt, cocoa nibs, marbled rye, nutmeg and a shimmery minerality that vibrates like wound brass across the tastebuds. Coffee and tea in silver rounds out your breakfast fare. — 7 years ago

L'Humeur du Temps Chablis Chardonnay 2012

What's this wine like? —independent of fruit salad descriptions. The dominant feeling is relief: tranquility, quiet, cool caverns. A low, earthbound sense of coming to rest. — 10 years ago
