This beer is also great as 10. I actually see no difference or just a little bit in flavor but it’s great and those two are definititely the beers I could drink every day, 10 of them or more :)

Pours a murky brown color topped with a thick foamy head. The head does taper off a bit, leaving a thin head the rest of the way. Still leaves a good amount of lacing. Fruity, faint spiced malt aroma with a touch of yeast. Extremely smooth flavor with a rush of sugary dark fruits, slightly spicy with malts taking a back seat. Maybe even some caramel somewhere in there. A long, tasty, gentle mouthfeel. 9.2% and I hardly know it’s there. This is one of the best beers I have had to date.

Bottle - Murky red/ brown with orangy highlights when held to light. Tan head and lots of sediment. . Fruity aroma and flavours of dark roasted malts with dark fruits and caramel. Moderate carbonation and slightly effervescent/frothy on the tongue. Well balanced. The Rochefort 10 has the edge but this is a great drop all the same.

Pours dark brown, with a light tan and creamy head. Tan sediment is present in my glass. Aromas of roasted malts, sweet fruits and Belgian yeast fill your nose. Malt flavor is sweet, bready and nutty. Fruity notes are of plum, golden raisin and fig. The alcohol is well hidden, but still noticeable. Well balanced with a medium body, nice carbonation and a smooth mouth feel. Exceptional Trappist ale.

Bottle poured into a chalice produced a huge fluffy tan head it takes a few minutes to settle down to a thick lace. The body is a hazy dark brown Aromas of dark fruits, spices and malts fill your nose. Some nice bread yeast and a light alcohol whiff follows Flavors of raisins plumbs and spices dance across your tongue along nice warming effect from the alcohol Good mouthfeel on this one nice and bubbly on the tongue from the carbonation Awesome drinkablity I sipped away at this for about a half hour and enjoyed every drop will gladly grab a few more of these
