moreburnt than expected smell offwhite head great body, it does have an alcohol kick, great malt nothing special looking, mellow yet back off throat crash odd late aftertaste great carb quite sour alcohol taste fades as it warms Does not live up to the hype, is really good but not the best of even the few I have tasted, $5.00 a bottle is pretty steep for this.

Bottle at de Boom in Alkmaar. Nice dark brown color. Full-bodied, fruity beer with a sweet smell. Just like the Rochefort 10, you don’t really taste the alcohol, you only feel it afterwards.

11.2 oz. into pint for lack of trappist. Dark nut brown pour with an off-white fizzy head that fades pretty quickly. Smells sweet like apricot and caramel – hard to nail it down to be honest. Tastes a bit funky: nuts and berries with a weird subtle tang – good but weird an no where as balanced as the 10 IMO. No alcohol flavor. Light bodied on palate with some soft fizzy carbonation. Overall: solid, but splurge the extra dollar and get the 10!

Bottle from swedish monopoly outlet. Muddy brown with tan head. Vineous and spicy. A bit too much alcoholtaste. Not quite as good as #10, but almost

POured a murky brown color with a small off white head. Aroma is of dark fruits mainly and alcohol. Flavor was kind of bland with notes of candy suagr, dark fruits and lots of alcohol. Just did not enjoy this much, way too boozy.

very nice on the nose, smell plums/raisins and other subtle fruity tones. found the carbonation to interfere with my enjoyment of the beer. Seems to linger forever. As it warmed got significantly better. Nonetheless I was disappointed overall. Perhaps I was expecting too much. It is a quality brew but I have had others I enjoyed more. I was anticipating more flavour especially after the aroma. prefer struise pennepot
