Rochefort Trappistes 10

A very beutiful beer with a nutbrown color which turn darkbrown if you pour the sediment. It has hints of fruit in the aroma and a very good head. It is a very strong tasting beer with hints of fruit but also alcohol. I’d prefer it with out the taste of alcohol and likes Rochefort 8 better.

Deep burgundy coloured, although a tad darker than Westvleteren 12. Big toffee aroma, very malty, velvetty texture, very sweet, salty finish. A huge well balanced beer, but when sampled head to head with Westvleteren 12 if falls short, as it doesn’t have the enormous outburst and variety of flavours at Westy 12. Still, no doubt, a world class beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Oh dear, now we’re REALLY getting closer to God in heaven. Very dark brown, hazy with loads of sediment. It’s got all the good stuff going on the flavour palette: dried fruits, syrup, roasted malt - you name it. But a devil of a beer because the alcohol is so well hidden, although the alcohol is clearly there. The perfect nightcap - makes you sleep like.... Michael Jackson? 070893

What am I going to say that hasn’t already been said by the other tasters on this panel?

Brown colour with fast disappearing off white head. Malty aroma with notes of dried fruit and anis. Very carbonated. Sweet flavour with notes of liquorice, dried fruit and plums. Good, but not my favorite trappist beer.
