May 6, 2008 Opaque tan/brown body with large white head. Nose of burnt berries, dark chocolate, bread, and a little alcohol warmth. The taste has sweetness in aforementioned fruit, but it tastes champagne-like, almost carbonated, and with a huge alcohol presence. For me, it contradicts the other flavors too strongly.

May 5, 2008 (Bottle at Hilpeä Hauki on 2008-02-23) Dark brown with hints of red. White browish small head. Malts and fruitiness in nose. A bit stinging feeling in palate that changes towards dryness. Malts and frutiness in taste.

May 4, 2008 dark brown with mild tan head. more carbonation than i expected. flavor of some dark brown candy sugar and a finish that is dry with peculiar aftertaste. this may have been a bad bottle, because it just didn’t compare to rochfort 10 and wasnt all that good. i must try it again

May 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours muddy brown with thick head. Pleasant fruity aroma with hints of malt. Taste is sweet of some fruit, difficult to describe, though. Does not leave a distinctive finish. It is quite lighter than the 10, but still very drinkable.

May 3, 2008 Turbid tobacco-spit brown. Frothy, homogeneously-bubbled head. Inviting bready, plummy aroma, lightly fruity and spicy, some figs and milk chocolate. Flavor rather surprised me, as I was expecting this to be rather sweet. Instead, I get a rather dry, roasty, hoppy flavor. Raisin and brown sugar, some rather prominent ethanol, a rather dusty graininess, and a spiky, rather orangey hoppiness. Long, lingering bitter aftertaste that I’m not overly fond of.
