Mar 14, 2003 Extremely seductive aroma, full of plums and the rochefort house character, which to me is more in the aroma than in the flavor. Flavor is slightly less complex than its big brother, but the beer is tighter and more coherent. Perilously drinkable and emminently delicious.

Feb 7, 2004 Updated: Feb 18, 2004Date code 02 10 07: Color is cloudy peach brown with a huge frothy rootbeer head. I detect light chocolate, brandy and black cherry with the nose. Flavor starts moderately sweet caramel with some fruitiness and a hint of spice and brandy. Finish is dry and has a light sour touch. Full and smooth on the palate. Another outstanding Trappist Biere!

Jan 1, 2006 Pours a hazy mahogony brown with lots of bubbles along the sides of the glass and a nice amount of fizzy/froathy head. Aroma is alcohol, caramel, toasted almonds, dark chocolate, and sherry. Flavor is very smooth yet complex. Flavor starts malty and sweet with a slightly plummy/spicey flavor. It then drys out and has a bitter banana alcohol warmth to it. Overall, a delicious beer, but i think i preferred the 6 over it, though its close.

Apr 23, 2002 Mahogany coloured. Big, wonderful aroma of red berries. Sweet and softly malty. Sparkling mouthfeel. A hint of toffee. Salty finish. A very complex ale, which I actually find even better then it’s stronger cousin.

Sep 17, 2002 Had a few of these in the cellar for a couple of years, and I thought I’d make this number 400! Chocolate, caramel, brown sugar aroma. Hazy pomegranate in colour, big, noisy, creamy, toffee head, some floaties. Plums, almonds, dark brown bread, black cherries, and towards the middle, chocolate. Complex, an incredible range of flavours, bitter after taste, wonderful mouthfeel. Lace is very long lasting. Great tongue tingle and dry at the finish. A marvelous beer,an incredible privelege!

Jul 28, 2002 Very nice beer, one I like better than the Rochefort 10. Lighter in body, sweet caramel, fruity and brandy flavors.

Nov 8, 2003 Very cabonated, rich dark ruby color, lots of head, very little lace. BIG aroma, leaps out of the bottle, smells more like wine than beer. Malty, alcohol, chocolate, raisin, assorted berry fruitiness. The chocolaty maltieness and the alcohol started to dominate the more I drank, and it lost a couple of points. Slightly bitter and dry in the finish.

Sep 3, 2002 Dark red-brown color, brandy like aroma of chocolate and plums,creamy mouthfeel. I bought this bottle in June, worth saving for #500.
