Apr 6, 2009 33cl botlte.
cloudy caramelly brown, thick light brown head.
sweet hoppy and well rounded aroma, like a good hoppy barley wine.
flavor is sweet, strangely hoppy, bitter from alc. malts, sugar. dark fruits, nice, but not totally balanced, and not worthy a score of 4+ imo.

Apr 5, 2009 Pours a hazy dark brown with some floaties and a big beige head. Aroma is alcohol, figs/raisins/plums, chocolaty malts, rock sugar, yeast. Flavours are more of the same, but the chocolaty malts dominate more. Carbonation is a bit lively, feels prickly on the tongue. Alcohol well hidden for the abv, but there is a slight hint of it in the finish.

Apr 4, 2009 Pours dark brown with thick off white head. No lacing. Aroma was thick with alcohol until it warmed. Fruits, sugar, figs all present. Finish is sweet, but a bit alcoholic as well. Flavor was flat overall. Some fruits and mild caramel sweetness but nothing discernible. I’m suspecting I got a bad bottle.

Apr 4, 2009 Damn, I love the aroma of Rochefort. Little to no alcohol in the aroma, just pure Belgian complexities with lots of dark fruit, yeast, candi sugar, and little to no bitterness. Hints of banana and cloves are also present. The flavor is similar with just the perfect amount of alcoholic warmth. Masterfully crafted and delicious.

Apr 3, 2009 Bottle split with Ryguy. Pours a dark, hazy brown. Nice carbonation, sick sediment...mmm yeasty. Tastes delicious, lots of flavor - raisin, nut, yeast. Oh Wait! I see something.... there is a fetus in my beer! up no, just yeast sediment...but tasty like an unborn fetus.

Apr 3, 2009 (33 cl bottle) Dark beer with quickly disappearing head. Tastes like the Rochefort 10, but much lighter, less packed.

Apr 2, 2009 330ml Bottle – Trade – Douglas88
Aroma: Strong Belgian aroma with lots of yeast.
Appearance: Dark Brown in color, cloudy with a thin head.
Flavor: Had a Belgian yeast flavor and then it went flat on me. The spices where not there. This was very flavorless.
Palate: Dry finish, with a decent Belgian Mouthfeel.
Overall: Ok this might be others brew but not mine and this was in fact lifeless and flat. Sorry this will not be my top 50.
