Rochefort Trappistes 10

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

Aroma is crisp, strong, fruity and malty with just a whisper of sweetness. It pours a hazy, barely translucent, dark coppery brown with a very thick and pale tan head. Flavor is malty and fruity with a hint of caramel and a fierce but not overwhelming alcohol bite. Texture is very smooth, yet quite fizzy and tingly, leaving a satisfying and lip-smacking finish with fruity and caramel hints as well as a touch of sweetness.

poured with a thick creamy tan head that didn’t move. lasted like budding sun rays on the 8th hour of a gloomy, cloud swarmed day hahahahaha. seriously tho, this brew has a rich, extremely ark brown colour, and the head shows the evidence of its sediment throughout. smell boasts fruits all the way, and are complimented by incredible hops, with a hint of alcohol. the taste. incredible sweetness. i can’t pick out the complexities of the taste, but all i can say is hot damn! can taste a bit of alcohol in the sweets, but not at all overpowering. insanely smooth and creamy. lacing is great, and man, that head just won’t vanish.

A very cloudy dark brown color. Aroma is yeast, alcohol, and some sweeter spices. Flavor is of dried fruit, alcohol, yeast, and raisins. Has a sweeter yet strong alcohol flavor in the end. It definitely lets you know that you are consuming a real beer. Good stuff.

Enjoyed from an 11.2oz bottle in a whiskey snifter. The beer pours a deep brown color, with a thick light tan head. A very strong alcohol note greets the nose up front, followed by more mellow aromas of raisons, prunes, and slightly burnt caramel. The palate also features alchohol, although in the finish, and proceeded by a splendid melange of malts, and a perfect level of carbonation. Overall, worth the wait and hype, and surely a beer that would continue to improve with age.

Bottle. Not sure why I never got around to this but.... Pours a cloudy rich mahogany with no head. Nose is sweet with belgian yeast and candied sugars.Lightly carbonated and Richly flavored with dark fruits and candied sugars. Refined and sweet with a hint of the abv. A must try. A beer that others are judged against.

330 ml bottle. Pours with an enormous and thick light tan head, beer is cloudy, very dark brown colour. Complex aroma: oak, port wine, dried fruit and spices. Taste is spice, raisins, port and oak - toffee sweetness is well balanced with hops. Long lasting aftertaste. Delicious

Refrigerated bottle poured into a trappist glass. Pours a dark brown completely opaque with little head that disappeared quickly. Nice lacy and unbelievable mouth feel. The aroma is earthy with a hint of alcohol. The taste is wonderfully complex and is pretty easy to drink considering the ABV. The flavor is malt (tone is mostly molasses), dried fruit (tones of figgs, plums etc.), and a hint of spice. Best quad I have had.

Earthy aroma. Beautiful creamy, thick white head on a rich dark brown pour. Palate is a clear 5, bright and coating. Flavor is complex and delicious - dried fruit and nuts. mmm mmm mmm.
