COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The top product from the Rochefort Trappist brewery. Dark color, full and very impressive taste. Strong plum, raisin, and black currant palate, with ascending notes of vinousness and other complexities.

Huge white head. Cloudy dark brown colour. Celestial caramel aroma. Extraordinary spicy taste and a roasty, caramel palate. This might be the best beer in the world.

Imperial_Scout (133) - Illinois, USA - MAY 21, 2013
Poured from bottle into 12oz snifter. Medium brown color with light tan head that minimizes after settling. Deep caramel smell with dark fruit notes. Sweet toffee and caramel taste with just a hint of belgian spices with a touch of booziness. Not a huge belgian fan but I would literally drink this any day. Great beer.

Strong raisin notes on the nose. More alcohol than the 8, but can barely tell. Full mouth, complex palate, semi clean finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Douberd (625) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 20, 2013
Bottle, 330 ml, at home. Poured into a trappist glass. ABV 11,3% Very dark mahogany brown colour, with two fingers of soapy light beige head on top. Good retention, no lacing left on the glass. Aroma of dark fruits,lots of plums, a bit of sugar, some hints of the alcohol too. Taste of dark ripe fruits, a bit of bubblegum and banana at the end too. Sweet but delicious. Really great taste. The alcohol is only just a tiny bit notable. Thick body, good amount of carbonation. Quite dry on the palate. Overall a great beer, and without doubt the best of the three Rocheforts.

Worth the price of admission. Love the complexity in taste with various fruit notes of raisin, plum and cherry coming through as you sip. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Marduk (1266) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAY 19, 2013
330ml bottle. Dark brown color. Medium size, thick and sturdy head. Hold well. Plums, raisins, cake, toffee in aroma. Raisins, plums, sense of ginger, spicy flavor. Sense of alcohol and peppermint in the aftertaste. Full bodied. Delicious!

One of my favorite "shelf beers". Really similar to Westy XII. Don’t drink this colder than 50 degrees F, IMO.

Smells spicey, a little fruity, and a little boozy. Taste is really smooth, some sort of spiceyness.

Heerlijk biertje. Flink zoet met een hoog karamel gehalte. Veel karakter en diepgang. Na een half glas wordt het biertje wel een beetje veel, maar toch zou ik zo een tweede nemen.

Poured a dark brown with light tan head. Smell of malt, prunes and raisins. Smooth taste of fruit with the alcohol well hidden. Great beer with an awesome palate.
