Feb 19, 2001 This is my 4th Trappist product and I can only say one thing 'what a beautiful product', you fall in love from this 1st sip, what a sweet, spicy taste and aroma, and you have to love the way those tiny bubbles just sit on your tongue. Unfortunately it disappeard way too fast and only left me wanting more (too cost prohibitive), we must pay homage to those trappist for continuing to produce such fine quality beer!

May 15, 2002 magnificent trappist ale.
dark red bronze colour, soft head, nice vinous nose of maple malt, plums and subtle spicing.
taste lives up to the aromas adding in cinnamon, dates and a gentle hoppiness.
the alcohol is barely noticable even at 9.3% because of all the flavours

Aug 19, 2002 A rich complex and hard to describe beer. Big light tan head. Hints of fruit that mix elegantly with the sweet caramel-like sweetness. Very malty and long finish. If you find the Rochefort 10 a bit too violent, you will LOVE this one! My favorite Belgian Strong Ale!

Jun 6, 2003 This is probably the best beer I've ever had. Pours deep amber with a creamy tan head. Fruity, fig and raisin aroma that continues into the flavor. Chocolate and coffee hints that make this an outstanding beer.

Mar 3, 2005 Pours an opaque mahogany with a chunky mocha-colored head. Complex aroma of raspberries, oak and dark fruits. Flavor is absolutely marvelous! It is simultaneously spicy, malty, fruity, bitter, and dry. Very vinous, some hints of citrus and blackberries, a bit of pepperiness and some yeast undertones. Finish is smooth and dry, completely enveloping my every tastebud. My 500th rating and my only perfect 5!
