Rochefort Trappistes 10

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Rochefort, Belgium

ONE OF THE WORLDS BEST. A LOT OF COMPLEX SUGARS AND A HINT OF CARAMEL. I PERSONALLY LIKE THE 8 BETTER. FOR THE STYLE OF BEER OF BEER THOUGH I PREFER ST. BERNARDUS ABT 12 FOR BOTH TASTE AND COST VALUE.

330 ml bottle at Monks in Philly. This is an excellent beer...everyone at the table agreed. Dark, rich with wonderful aroma and taste.

330ml Bottle: Aroma of light funk, dark ripe fruits, stinky Limburg cheese, alcohol, yogurt, malts, and yeast, Poured brown (mahogany) in color with a small, fizzy, dense, light brown head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Fully of tiny particles throughout as well as many very large particles. No lacing. Flavor is lightly bitter. Tastes of butter, malts, caramel, light alcohol, dried dark fruits, yeast, stinky cheese, light funk, and raisin. Medium body. Average texture. Average carbonation. Funky, malty, finish. 11.3%ABV is well hidden.

Bottle, BB 27.08.13. Dark brown colour with a medium lasting tan head. Malty aroma with hints of plum and spices. The flavour is malt, pepper, plum, yeast and raisin with notes of alcohol. Quite full-bodied and smooth mouthfeel. Delicious brew.

Poors a great dark brown. A spicy aroma in the nose. Nice full head. Fabulous taste of caramel, malt, and nuts with a touch of wood. Warm and flavorful beer. Highly recommended.

Dark brown, roasted malts, dark fruits, caramel, nutty, little spice, little wood, little alcohol, slight coffee, slight licorice.

Pours a huge creamy head with an almost black body. Faint aromas of cola and spice. Dry coffeish flavor with a malty finish. Good beer, but like St Bernardus’ rendition of the style much better because it is a much fruitier beer and less dry.
