Jan 14, 2006 Bottle says 28 07 04. Poured with all yeast into a Rochefort glass a beautiful Ruby Red with active swirling yeast. Medium sized bubbly head quickly dissipates to cling to the rim. Very rich, fruity aroma of dates, raisins, bread and plums. Very nice, medium sweet with light carbonation. Really top notch. One of my favorites.

Nov 2, 2004 Bottle. Great nose-dried fruit and sugar. Flavors that come out are hay, raisin, caramel, prune, very slight chocolate, fig, and alcohol. Crisp dry finish. Very enjoyable.

May 17, 2004 Very good. Pours cloudy copper with frothy beige head. Plum brandy aroma with some dark chocolate and almond. Good flavor and feel in the mouth. Not my style but this was a great one.

Dec 25, 2005 330 ml bottle. Pours dark reddish brown. Very nice head that retained well. Aroma is malty, fruity, with a hint of alcohol. Flavor of plums, maple, sweet malt nicely balanced by some hop bitterness. Finishes sour. A very nicely crafted and balanced brew. What do you expect from a top 50?

Oct 18, 2008 Rating #250, mini-milestone. Murky earth brown pour with a heavy building carbonation to lift up a finger of pillowy smooth whitish-tan head with lasting retention and mild collapsing lacing that holds the glass longer than the center of the head. Aromas of alcohol soaked prunes, cherries, plums, candi sugar, dark pit fruits and dark mahogany and cherry wood highlights. A light body of maltiness highlighted by candi sugar and hints of cherries. Very sweet finish with hints of smoothing yeastiness and vanilla. Retains the bodyand feel but with slightly less taste complexity than the 10, while I feel like the Westy 8 loses too much body along with complexity compared to the 12.

Aug 5, 2007 What really amazes me about beers as rich and complex as these Rocheforts is how full and lively the body is. Rarely do I focus so consistently on this, but I just don’t know how those Trappists manage to get the heft and fullness of an IPA in a Belgian strong like this. Big nose with candied fruits and dark honey, and a long finish with a hint of molasses and anise. Excellent.

Aug 8, 2006 Yum Yum Yum!!!!
This a fantastic beer, exactly what I was hoping for. Rich yeasty malts. Taste is dark fruit and candied sugar. Alcohol Content is appearant yet not too overpowering.

Sep 16, 2003 Nice brown-reddish colour. Thick head. Sweet toffee-aroma. Lots of chocolate in the flavour. Warm, woody alcohol-finish. Will probably improve with age.
