Apr 7, 2009 I think this beer is very underated, the ten is very good, however this beer is much easier to find and is almost as good. I actually found some that already aged 3 years and were cheaper than the new ones(this beer ages well).

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.
