Just back from Paris

Went to a great Belgian Restaurant (http://www.academie-biere.com/) and had both bottled Rochefort 10 and Saison Dupont on tap. Rochefort 10 good as always, but quite a bit of difference between the bottled Saison Dupont we buy in the states and an ostensibly “fresher” one on tap in Europe. The tap version is not quite as hoppy and has significant star anise finish and aroma. Great beer, but you wouldn’t know they were the same.
