Rochefort Trappistes 8

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Rochefort, Belgium

pours a deep dark brown with puffy beige head. aroma of barley, prunes, maybe some fresh oranges and a cognac perhaps. taste of malt, with a hint of clove, raisins also. aftertaste is strong of alcohol but not in a bad way, a warming, smooth delicious swallow. great stuff.

A nice beer. Aroma of fruit and grains. A small taste of alcohol but not to much. A dark taste with some hits of chocolate and perhaps some fruit. And a really fine finish.

Bottle 330 ml. A delicious strong beer. Aroma is butter, grain, and alcohol. Flavour is mostly sweet, warmly alcoholic, with a very long finish. Palate is full-bodied and sticky. Colour is dark brown, head is white and stable.

Bottle. Dark murky brown pour with a decent beige head on top. Dark fruit aroma. Taste is dark fruit, caramel, hint of chocolate, quite sweet. A nicely balanced easy drinking version of Rochefort 10. Belgian beer at its best.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a dark golden almost brown color, rich tan head. The aroma is fantastic, there is some bread, some tobacco-like spice, and a little bit of dried fruit. The palate is near perfect, not too light or too dense. The carbonation is alive but not bouncy, and the alcohol is only prevalent as a warm sensation at the end. The flavors include some spice, and a little bit of dried fruit and of course malted grain. Great beer!

Much like its big brother 10. Great beer that I wish I could drink more often. Dark brown color with light tan head, nose is full and fruity and caramel flavor

33cl bottle. Dark cloudy brown body with small head. Flavour is malt, caramel and fruit.

couple years ago all the local abc liquor stores knocked the price down on these to $1.99 - so I drove around and bought all of them. thirty or so. yet somehow I didn’t manage to get a rating in. with that preface - bottle. dark rich brown pour with a large beign head and tons of retention. there are little brown floaties on the side of the glass. spicy aroma of light tobacco, bread and dark fruits. think I always notice the texture first with these - perfect medium palate with consistent lively carbonation and nice warming alcohol in the finish. sugary caramel malt taste with pepper spices, plums and cereal. still a great beer.
