Rochefort Trappistes 10

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

black, hazy, light sweetness, full body, thick feel, lively. Great beer recomended to everyone.

Dark pour, raisin and spice in aroma, as well as flavor, with added burnt figs. This one is dry with distinct stiff finish (bicarbonate in water?).

Bottle, served in Orval chalice. Poured a cloudy dark brown with a bubbly off-white head. Large champagne-like bubbles eventually broke down into much smaller ones, leaving a velvety thin head. Appearance takes a hit for the odd combination of floating bits and strange lack of lacing. Fruity aroma with a touch of alcohol in the nose, like any big beer. Roasted malt and fruits stand out amongst the complex and subtle flavors, especially plum. Great creamy palate lasts from the first sip to the final drops.

Thin white head, cloudy, ultra dark ruby color when held up to the light...dark brown without the light. Smell of toffee, candy sugar, and dark, ripe fruits...rainins, figs...touch of dried cherry. Taste matches aroma, with a hint of brown sugar. Small tight bubbles and tingly mouth feel. Alcohol is dangerously well hidden, and balances out the sweetness perfectly.

floral, raisin, reddish-brown color, clear, tan foam, frothy, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, medium sourness, medium body, thin feel, initial soft mouthfeel into fizzy stinging sweetness into abrupt bitterness

bottle: pour with a large off white head. Smells of raisans and a sour something. Taste was sweet, slightly alcoholic, and toasted malts. Medium mouth feel. Overall: smooth from the beginning to the end. I can see why this rates so high, but it isn’t my favorite, but its up there.

Lightly sweet, lightly floral and awesome aroma. Thick, opaque dark brown with a good head. Tickly mouthfeel and warmth from the alcohol. This beer is extremely consistent... every bottle has been perfect. UPDATE: got a couple bottles which seem to have been pretty recent/fresh. Alcohol was pretty hot on those.

Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks! Pours a dark caramel color. Smell is raisin and alcohol. Fairly nice nose. Taste is malty with sweet raisin, a touch of alcohol but not too hot. Medium body and carbonation. Enjoyable, but not incredible, I thought.
