Rochefort Trappistes 10

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

Hazy brown color, no real head. Strong, malty nose with hints of citrus. Flavor includes liquorice, caramel malts and alcohol. Very complex - very nice.

330 mL bottle for my 50th rating. Pours dark brown with a large bubbly head that dissipates pretty quickly. Rich aromas of dark fruits, caramel sweetness, cloves, some alcohol. Flavor is caramel, dark fruit, some tartness, breadiness, a little banana. Finishes with more dark fruits and an alcohol bite, a little hint of whiskey. A complex, well balanced beer.

Drink it new, I’d give it 4.2 Age it baby. There are just a few pointy ends on this beer, if you know what i mean. Let it sit. The pointy ends blend in and at the same time a new complexity develops. One year later, 4.9 easy. This is about my perfect beer.

Superlative beer. Pours sumptuous bronze, with luxuriant head. Perfectly rounded on the nose and palate, of roast hops, honey, and yeast, with notes of plum and peach. Great mouthfeel, and great all-round beer.

This is a very good beer. A complex taste more sour, not that sweet. The only thing I disliked were the little pieces in it.

Pours a mid-dark brown with very small tan head. was very slightly disappointed overall, though this is still worth it for the palate alone: incredible! a score of 5 doesn’t really do it justice now thinking back to all the beers i’ve given a 4 to. smooth, lasting and tickles every part of the mouth with flavour which is itself made up of plum, strong raisin, cocoa, clove and an alcohol finish. warming and worthy of praise but will have to come back to this one to see if it quite lives up to it’s average score billing.

Pours a murky, prune juice brown with a tan head. Aroma is of sweet brown sugar/molasses and raisins. Taste is raisiny with alcohol and other dark fruits. The high ABV warms as it goes down.

First off I was reluctant to try this beer because of the price($6.50 for 11.2oz.). I am sure glad I did, this beer rocks. Pours murky brown color with large thick tan head. Aroma is malty and also yeasty almost like fresh raisin bread. Flavor is strong yet smooth, plum and raisin on palate along with alcohol. This an outstanding beer well worth the extra $$$ you have to pay!
