2011 bottle @ home. Dark brown appearance with a tan head that dissipates somewhat quickly. Dark chocolate, candy sugar, dark caramel, dark fruits, plum, raisin, Belgian yeasty aroma. Creamy, slightly thick mouth feel. Dark caramel-chocolate, dark candy sugar, raisin, dark plum flavor. Dark candy sugar, chocolate aftertaste. Booze is hidden super well. Some days this is my absolute favorite beer of all time.

2004 bottle @ De Heeren van Liedekercke. This has always been one of my all-time favorites, but to try an aged bottle was a different experience. Drinking an 04 version was full of plum, raisin, fig, and rich dark fruits. There’s light booze but it has tons of fruits and just delicious. I’ve had Westvleteren 12 on more than a handful of occasions at this point and I have come to realize that Rochefort 10 is more complex than it and only lacks the rarity factor of Westy 12. For quite a while this was my top rated beer, but I downgraded it from a 5.0 to a 4.8 during an introspective period. Fuck it, I’m putting this mofo back to a 5.0 aka my top beer (well, at least for now) based on my experience at De Heeren. Why haven’t I put a case of these away in the cellar every year?

Sorry for the brevity! I’ma gonna write a thesis on this beer this year!

Pours a dark black with a light tan head, which disappears reather quickly. Dark malt aromas. Sparkly attack which fades to alcohol and sweet caramel flavors. A seriously, seriously great Bier!

Colore marrone,con schiuma quasi bronzea.Aroma di malto, caramello, spezie, frutti scuri e pane.Il gusto è di malto, di caramello e di spezie,con sentori di banana e cioccolato.L’alcool è bene nascosto rendendola facile da bere.Un paradiso per gli amanti della birra

vanilla, smoth, smells like rye, looks little bit cloudy but nice, warming the lipps, soft carboneted, perfect conformed to this style

The world’s perfect dark beer in every way - including distribution. Great nose, great look, brilliant warm taste of dark fruitiness and wood. Excellent mouthfeel.

Beer just doesn’t get any better than this one. Have had on tap in Brussels numerous times and from bottles here in the States and each and every time the taste, aroma, feel and drinkability just knocked my socks off. This and Westy 12 are the definition of great beer.

330 mL Bottle at the BierMarkt near Union Station in Toronto. Pours a deep dark brown with an average tan head that fades fairly quickly. Medium carbonation. Aroma is a complexity of spiciness, roast malt, and a slight yeasty whiff. Taste is perfectly smooth, a subtle mix of numerous flavours (black currant, plum fruitiness, strong sweet malt/chocolate/alcohol character,hint of yeast), that are extremely well balanced. Finishes crisp, with a sharp aftertaste. A wondrous beer.

I’ve had a lot, but this one stands above all! You start off with a trilling sensation, but above all, the tang finishes it all of.

very dark, hazy brown pour with plenty of sediment. medium-sized, but not very lasting head. medium sweetness, fruity aroma. plums, raisins, currants. nice alcoholic sting. paradise bottled: Rochefort responds to Milton. yes, not very clever or funny.

Provdatum: 2005-06-04 En av dom bästa. Måste höja till en 5:a Den är så perfekt att ja inte vill sätta något verbalt omdömme - du måste prova den!
