Rochefort Trappistes 10

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Rochefort, Belgium

Dark Brown pour with a slight beige head. Aroma is dark candi sugars, plum fruit and booze. Brown sugar and some Belgian yeast abound. First Taste is a shock of brown sugar and yeast, some booze follows. Slightly effervescent. The fruit is mostly plum and raisin, very vinous in nature. Incredibly complex and yet simultaneously simple and refreshing. A perfect Abt if there ever was one.

This beer is well balanced with malts, fruits, spices, hops, and candies. The carbonation is excellent. The small bubble tingle. The alcohol content is masked with the combination of flavors, but is present when you breath in the beer over your tounge. This beer would go great with a leg of lamb!!

Bottle at pub in Belgium. Wow, this made my trip to Belgium worth it. This was an awesome beer. From the pour which was dark brown color with a nice creamy head with lots of lace left in the glass. The aroma was bold with plenty of malt. The taste was well balanced with malts and hops with Belgium sugar.

Dark cider/brown color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of malt, fruit, brown sugar & spice; Flavor of malt, caramel, chocolate, dry fruit & spice; Alcohol at the finish but its not overpowering; Very Balanced and complex; An excellent brew that everyone should try.

Drank it just two hours after bottle was turned upside down during travel home. Murky mahogany appearance; clouded by bottle yeasts but who care? I was happy to HAVE those yeasts! Great head! Impeccable balance and ’CLASSIC’ Belgian notes. Nuances of dried stone fruits, chocolate. Deep malty background with distinguished fruity ester notes in aroma! Outstanding! Wish I could afford to drink two of THESE everyday...

Enjoyed this beer with my brother-in-law, Bigguns22 and father-in-law, Fistfull. I cooked my first Belgian dinner which included a Flemish beef stew which we savored with the full flight of Chimay and three Belgian cheeses (two of which were Chimays)! Malt, cherries and pear on the nose complimented a beautiful milk chocolate (think Hershey’s) appearnce with a medium tan head. Huge malt coats the palate and tones of cherries, pears, bananas and malts were perceived. Overall a great one-of-a-kind beer that I only wish I could drink daily! Awesome!

Re-rated after awesome Belgian dinner cooked by Twindog and tasted with Fistfull. Pours medium chocolate brown with dense, tight bubbled foam head - tan in color. Aromas of candied fruit, slight banana (like Bananas Foster dessert) and strong malt aromas. Tasted for a second time courtesy of Fistfull’s generous $45.00 six pack comprised of the whole flight of Trappistes Rochefort - 2 bottles of each! Better his coin then mine - good to marry into the family (I hope he’s not reading this...). Flavors of chocolate malt, honey cake and dried fruits. Overall, one of the best beers ever experienced! ’Nuff said.

Dark brown and highly carbonated, hardly any head. Aroma is very deep and complex. In order of decreasing prominence: Dark fruit, alchohol, leather, cigar smoke, licorice/aniseed. Ripe fruit is more prominent in flavour. Vanilla becomes present. Very thick and warming. Alcohol becomes slightly cloying. Idealy it should be consumed with/as a desert.
