Rochefort Trappistes 10

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

Bottle form Joe’s Place. Color was muddy brown w/ a cream head. Aroma was of cinnamon and caramel. Flavor was with cherry, bown sugar, and caramel. Drinkable beer on oaccasions!

Dark beer, strong full taste. First time taste is too strong. Second time drinking, taste is better. Third time you want more...

Bottle. A complex mixture that certainly lived up to its reputation. Alcohol is not apparent when tasted, and the carbonation is perfectly balanced. Full aroma with the taste of black plums, hints of carmel and an accent of dry white grape. It’s a pleasure to savour slowly. . . and thoughtfully.

Bottle drink by 12/31/13, so it is only about six months old. Very dark but still translucent, with a thin but persistent white head. A lot of fizz but feels soft. Very rich and very long tasting ale. Dark fruits, chocolate cake, anise. The booze does come through and warms the ribcage. Haven’t tasted it side by side with R8 to see which I prefer.

I found this bottle at a local Beer and Wine distributor in Delaware. I recalled excepts from this brewery awhile back and was quite astonished to find it. It poured nicely a dark amber color relinquishing a thick beige head. After letting it settle for a minute. inhaling and tasting the aroma rich flavors of fruits and herbal intoxication. The alcohol is well hidden from this 11.3% ABV blend though creating a soothing and warming sensation on it’s way into the depths of my body. A top-notch, creature.

bottle from joes place. poured a murky brown with a great beige head. aroma of bread, caramel, prune, brown sugar, and plum. flavor was brown sugar, plum, alcohol, and caramel. full body with high carbonation.

Poured from bottle with a slightly redder-brown color than the bottle color itself. Massive head to begin with that slowly settled to around a 1/4 inch. Aroma is boozy dried apricots/juicy prune. Wow, this is my first Rochefort, so smooth on the palate and that 11.35 abv is dangerously well-hidden. Enjoying this delightful beer with dark chocolate covered orange peels, perfect which pairs nicely together. It reminds me of a more floral aroma version of the Duchess de Bourgogne. Nice warming alcohol finish. Yum.
