sinte (240) - UDINE, ITALY - FEB 11, 2013
Bottle 0.33 L. Hazy, amber body with a large, creamy, tan head, fully lasting with a good lacing; high density of small particles. Moderate hoppy (citrus) and yeasty (cheese?) aroma with spicey (corianader) and malty (maybe caramel) notes. Moderate sweet and spicey flavour; light acidic notes are also present. Light-to-medium body with an oily texture; lively carbonation; some alcoholic warming in the finish.

Reminds me a lot of their 8 except more bread and toffee/caramel sweetness. Also good berries in aroma/flavor. Very good, but slightly cloying - I can see why 8 is preferred by most.

DeliriumT (327) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - FEB 10, 2013
Smells of chocolatey syrup. Slight burnt flavour but very rich just like the stronger versions. Light mouthfeel ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

McTapps (1484) - Ruhrgebiet, GERMANY - FEB 9, 2013
This was the last beer of the Trappistes Rochefort-"series" missing and it was definately the most fragile and soft beer. It has got a light milky brown colour, steady head and smooth body. The taste is also really gentle with hints of nuts, malt, bread, raisins and spruce. It really is nice but just not that overpowering, overwhelming and dominating like the other two.

MichaelBruch (1482) - Wanne-Eickel, GERMANY - FEB 9, 2013
Flasche mit McTapps verköstigt. Der Sieger eines Abends. Warum ? Richtig, unaufdringlich mit einer leicht fruchtigen Note, Aromen von Beeren und dabei auch noch mit milder Kohlensäure. Einfach ausgewogen und mit leichten Aromen versehen. Schwer zu beschreiben und dabei einfach groß.

angelkostvo (267) - CZECH REPUBLIC - FEB 9, 2013
Cloudy, orange-brown color with huge head. Aroma of alcohol, orange, cream, parmasan cheese. Taste is sweet, sour and a bit bitter. Nicely balanced. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. Lighter version of the Rochefort 8 and 10 but still pretty damn good.

RexTalionis (1425) - FINLAND - FEB 9, 2013
Bottle 33 cl, BBE 10/2017. Pours hazy amber in color with a foamy off-white head. Fruity sweetness, more in the vein of some darker fruits that is and a bit of that bready maltyness in aroma. Sweet dark fruits and light hints of some nuttyness in taste. Well carbonated. Sweet, a bit sugared, nutty and even a bit boozy at somepoint, which fortunately fades away quite quickly, and quite bready malty in aftertaste.

albinotron (34) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - FEB 3, 2013
Bready, sweet malt on the nose with a hint of fruit and spice. Nice carbonation creates a pleasant mouth-feel. Sweet bread notes give way to spices and then on to a lingering finish of cherry. The note of cherry I detect is what keeps me coming back to this brew. One of the best.

Bamsen78 (819) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - FEB 3, 2013
Bottle. Pours hazy amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of maæt, caramel, fruit and booze in the long nose. Creamy mouthfeel despite rich carbonation. Malty and caramellish flavour with a distinct alcohol note. A nice BSA. Not as perfect a beer as the 10 and the 8, but still a very, very good one.
