Pours dark brown and murky with lots of sediment and a persistent head with thick lacing, a little brown yeast in the middle...(?) An aroma of fresh bread with some malt. Malty rye taste with a slight hint of raisin and grapes. Distinctive Belgian sweetness. Full-bodied mouthfeel with a lingering palate and sticky aftertaste. A fine ale, perhaps too much activity in the glass for most though.

Aug 28, 2008 Had this beer many times, this stuff just keeps amazing me. Pours very deep dark brown, like dark chocolate, with a creamy beige head. Aroma is imo the only "flaw", it could have been stronger. Subtle aroma of dark fruits, mostly malts and dark chocolate, some alcohol. Flavour is soft, malts, lots of dark chocolate, some dark fruits and a bit of alcohol. The beauty of this beer is that you don’t have to work your way through a load of sugary sweetness like with so many other dark strong ales. Soft and creamy mouthfeel, nice lingering finish, full bodied.

Aug 25, 2008 Well balanced and very complex taste of raisen and caramel. A little too much carbonation for my taste, but that is the style.

Aug 25, 2008 330 mL bottle. Pours red brown with a small white head. Aromas of dark fruits, caramel, hint of alcohol. Flavor is a combination of caramel and dark fruit with touches of black licorice, bread, hops, and apple. Raisin finish. Excellent flavor profile, very enjoyable. A little better than my recollection of Rochefort 10.
