Bottle shared pours darkish brown with off white head that just lingers and holds to the glass. The aroma is sweet malts and dark fruits figs raisins plums and or dark cherries. The flavor is soooooo smooooth. Just a lot of the sweet malt and those dark fruits aged to perfection. Does this rival Westy XII? I think so very good and just plain delicious.

Wow this is immense! I don’t know if words can quite do it’s complexity justice. Flavours are of spiced dark dried fruit, plums and blackcurrants initially which linger and last throughout as the bready bitter yeast comes through. Various aspects of the flavour come to the fore and fade throughout. This really is one of the greatest beers I have drank.

Heerlijke aroma! Vol, zwaar bier met beetje koffie/chocola. Wel tikkeltje teveel alcoholsmaak.

Something special for my 100th rating. 0,33L bottle, BB 08.2018. Pours very dark brown with big light tan head. The head stays for a long time. Strong aroma of caramel, bread, sweetness, raisins, phenols. Taste: fruits, malt, sweetness, slight sourness, caramel are the most obvious ones. Finish has mild bitterness. Alcohol is noticeable, but not distracting. The same goes about sweetness, bitterness etc. – they are all there, but nothing is too dominating. This is really well balanced beer. Lively carbonation. Overall: it may not be my favorite beer, but it’s impossible to deny that this is really great beer.

330ml bottle from Les Crepes de Sophie, Shrewsbury. One of those beers I haven’t had in a while, at least since I joined this site so I’m cracking one open for a rating. Forgot how lusciously sweet and fruity that aroma is.. taste is strong, dark molasses, raisins, rich yeast, dark treacle, caramel.. exceptional depth but the 11.3% ABV gets a bit much and lacks the sweeter, almost floral aspects of St Bernardus 12. That said, this is still an incredible beer.

delicioso y espectacular elixir Trapense ,de las mejores del Mundo sin duda

Shared with Rock_Buffalo. A strong, impressive beer with a dark colour, fruits of the forest aromas and complex taste of an earthen, currant-esque flavour. A prominent linger on the palette that diminishes to a subtle complexity of campfires and cottages; reminiscent of light, distilled beverages. An experience

Härlig doft massor av starka smaker bör lagras för en lugnare smak men en mycket bra öl ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours dark brown with a large tan head. Smells strongly of dark fruits and a little breadiness. Taste is dark fruits, plums, raisins and figs, with hints of booze and bread. Full-bodied with a smooth texture and soft mouth-carbonation, Trappistes Rochefort 10 finishes with a smooth, silky, supple booze heat.

Aroma: excellent sweet aroma between fruitiness and belgian sugars Taste: great fruity taste that fills your mouth on first sip....caramel and toffee notes with nice sugar sweetness and smooth alcohol finishing Appearance: dark brown body with fruity sedimentation and beautiful thick frothy Head that retains very well
