3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 joet (1919) - Santa Rosa, California, USA - JUL 18, 2003UPDATED: AUG 26, 2003 Looks great in the glass -- a almost milky brown with a fluffy creamy head and an arabesque type design in the inner foam ring. Aromas of cocoa and butter, some washed out burnt caramel flavors. Great feel the flavor is thin and washed. Hmmm...

3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 KoNrRiI (223) - Århus, DENMARK - MAY 17, 2013
0.33 bottle. Small off-white head, no lacing. Hazy, dark amber color, looks like compote made of plums and apricots with a lot of non-mixable, yeasty sediment on the bottom. Very malty aroma, nuts and wood with a lot of fruits alongside, again a lot like a compote. It is relatively complex and intricate but not exceptionally nice. Taste is very complex; sweet with a bitter lining to it. Composed mostly of fruits with some malty additions, really balanced and pleasant. Medium body, somewhat creamy texture and very lively carbonation. Finish to my disappointment is only medium long, resembles the same flavors as the taste. Overall it is a nice and pleasant beer, but having heard so much about Rochefort I simply expected more. Though I must say I like its unimposing fruitiness, it stays put so to say and is not overly sweet or anything.

From a 33 cl bottle at home. Pours a cloudy brown with a thick of white head. Malty aroma. Flavors of red fruit with hints of caramel and toffee. Highly carbonated mouthfeel.. Smooth finish.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 ruigo (276) - PORTUGAL - MAY 14, 2013
33cl from Mi-Orge Mi-Houblon. It pours a hazy amber in colour with a thin but big white head that slowly goes off. Some hoppy aroma, a quite sweet flavour with some notes of fruit but a sour end. A quite good beer, but not much complex that makes it a more regular one. Can be a excelent beer for those who look for a starting point in belgium beers.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 mickash (12) - - MAY 12, 2013
Dark brown, off white head that disappeared. Toffee/caramel and raisin flavours-easy drinking beer, not heavy at all, bordering on being great but just lacking that little something (richness, complexity) -had better Belgians. Still happy to settle down with a few in front of the tv though-very pleasant.

4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 Mr_Vogel (54) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 7, 2013
Looks great after pour. Colour reminds me of shiny copper. Great head with nice retention and flaky bits of yeast sinking quickly to the bottom of the goblet. Smells fruity and somewhat sweet. Taste has great complexity with malts, bitterness, caramel sweetness and fruitiness. Generally dislike sweetness in beer, but this is in a class of its own. Marvelous! Must admit that I liked this more than the 8. Such great balance.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 serjaymz (38) - - MAY 1, 2013
Renk koyu kahve, bulanık. Köpük mükemmel ve kremamsı. Koku topraksı ve komplex. Önce gaz vuruyor ardından mevye tatları, ama tatlı bir bira değil,topraksı bitirişte hafif acılık da var. Biranın %7,5 alkollü olduğuna inanmıyorsunuz. Rochefort 3 tipi ile de klas, özel, harika! Rochefort 8 ve 10’a göre orta gövdeli, normal biralara göre ise oldukça..
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Migmar (65) - Hohhot, CHINA - MAY 1, 2013
Fruity but dry: raisin, herbs. Quite lively carbonation. It’s really what one would expect of the youngest sibling of the Rochefort family.
