Dastrn (115), Warsaw, Indiana, USA Aug 24, 2008 Updated: Dec 7, 2008Poured a dark coffee brown with a small tan head. Smelled of brown sugar, rice, and smoke, with a hint of banana. The taste was dominated my burnt chocolate and a bit of malt. The mouthfeel was a little more fizzy than I expected, but it worked.
Overall a decent strong ale, but can’t stand up to #10, or a handful of better strong ales I’ve had recently. jstraw (750), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 23, 2008 Updated: Oct 16, 2008Cloudy brown, sediment, with big, foamy beige head / Date & caramel nose / Medium to full body, big malts without being cloying, and good finish / Flavors of tobacco, caramel, dates, figs, and milk chocolate / Flavors are a bit cooked, but otherwise very good. mikkopen (250), Oulu, Finland Aug 22, 2008 330 ml bottle. Hazy dark brown colour, thick and lasting off-white head. Aroma of dark fruits, apple and sweet malts. Spicy flavour of sweet malts, with alcohol warmth in the finish. Soft and foamy mouthfeel. fata2683 (836), Panama City, Florida, USA Aug 21, 2008 Updated: Oct 24, 2008Awesome dubble. This is dark and not as sweet as I thought it would be...more of a dark chocolate burnt carmel flavor. This is a very nice beer I would not mind having more of. Re-rate, just brought a case home and I’m loving this and it’s awesome complex finish. So much going on with some dark fruit and dark sugary flavors. Nice beer!!! Fulkrum78 (165), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Aug 20, 2008 An amazing beer. Great color with light lacing. Smells great with low hop aroma. Warms you up nicely but not as much as the 10. Well worth drinking if you can’t get the 10 or are looking for something lighter. dwaggs2 (531), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Much like the description says. It is almost identical to the Rochefort 10. Smells of fig and plum, maybe some apple. Very well balanced beer. Better then the 6 weaker then the 10. Still a great beer and a must try. PeterLikesBeer (104), Berwyn Heights, Maryland, USA Aug 19, 2008 Had this in Gent Belgium. The aroma of this beer is very interesting. lots of dark fruits as well as some banana and other spices. The Flavor is similar to the aroma. very fruity but well balanced, This is one of my favorite beers and I always keep a bottle or 2 at home. Indulgence (141), Ajo, Arizona, USA Aug 16, 2008 I drank this one too fast with my PBnJ, I know that it had notes of candied fruits, baking spices and more..., appearance was perfect with a fine soapy head that lasted for quite some time, dark reddish brown body and fine effers, flavor was awesome with my sandwich, balanced with the peanut butter and marmelade, LOL... palate, creamy, oilly and tickley on the tongue... I’m going to have another one, and savor it the next time ;>)
