[Sampled at eastertime in 2004.] Very close to its stronger brother. Maybe more valuable caused by the percentage, but all in all also a worldclassbeer worth going to Belgium, on a monkcruise, with the purpose to fill the celler!

Dark brown, tan head. Aroma is malty, fruity and spicy. Taste is of red fruits, malts, and spices. Generous carbonated. Long aftertaste of raisins and chocolate.

Very good, but still far inferior to the Rochefort 10. Not nearly as complex or intense flavors. Dark brown color with a beige head. Aroma of candi sugar, dark fruits, sweet malt, and yeast. Similar to the others in the series flavor-wise: dark fruits, brown sugar, creamy malt, and of course alcohol. Really smooth and fairly full on the palate.

33cl bottle. Aroma of overbaked bread crust, dry wood, a leaf pile in late October, roasted nuts and alcohol. Pours ruby brown with a thin white head. Flavor of nuts, quite a bit of wood, bread crust, yeast, dry leaves and alcohol. Medium to full bodied. Creamy with lively carbonation. Meh...

Malty dark fruit aroma with hints of that Oakiness that all good Trappists brews have,huge frothy head that never seemed to diminish, malt dark fruit taste with a surprising and wonderful grape aspect , dries out at end,touch of astringency on the tongue(theres got to be some kind of red grape in here) , body not as complex as I expected but still a stellarbeer, as is the whole line of Rocheforts

A brownish ruby color with a thick foamy head that thins out but stays with you the whole time.A very sweet like candy taste.The alcohol was not hidden to well.Had spicy afternotes,but all in all this is a great brew.

Pours to a cloudy mahogany, coating the glass like maple syrup fresh from the wood, with extraordinary amounts of sediment remaining even after a gentle pour. Immensely yeasty nose with caramel, fig, brown sugar, whiskey. Tasting this is a sweet glimpse of heaven...maple, almond, yeast, honey, apple, plum or raisins and quite a few unexperienced sensations. Slightly too brisk with carbonation and needley on the tongue, but its staggeringly flavorful, a beautiful brew.
