33cl bottle. Pours dark clear ruby with massive dense and creamy offwhite head. Could sit and watch the lacing for hours. Mildly spicy and cocoa-like, somewhat floral, with a pleasant fruity tone and some earth notes. Perhaps the best thing about this beer is how well-rounded it is; nothing jumps out above anything else. Mouthfeel is one of the best around: deluxe, velvety, oh so smooth and finishes very clean for an ale, a slight herbal bitterness clinging to very little yeasty bite. Alcohol starts to warm towards the finish, but in a very welcoming way. If anyone’s figured out the new marking method (mine has L130612 08:08 imprinted on it) please message me. Anyway, a wonderful brew, but you don’t need another rater to tell you this.

Aug 21, 2008 Awesome dubble. This is dark and not as sweet as I thought it would be...more of a dark chocolate burnt carmel flavor. This is a very nice beer I would not mind having more of.

Aug 20, 2008 An amazing beer. Great color with light lacing. Smells great with low hop aroma. Warms you up nicely but not as much as the 10. Well worth drinking if you can’t get the 10 or are looking for something lighter.

Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Much like the description says. It is almost identical to the Rochefort 10. Smells of fig and plum, maybe some apple. Very well balanced beer. Better then the 6 weaker then the 10. Still a great beer and a must try.

Aug 19, 2008 Had this in Gent Belgium. The aroma of this beer is very interesting. lots of dark fruits as well as some banana and other spices. The Flavor is similar to the aroma. very fruity but well balanced, This is one of my favorite beers and I always keep a bottle or 2 at home.

Aug 16, 2008 I drank this one too fast with my PBnJ, I know that it had notes of candied fruits, baking spices and more..., appearance was perfect with a fine soapy head that lasted for quite some time, dark reddish brown body and fine effers, flavor was awesome with my sandwich, balanced with the peanut butter and marmelade, LOL... palate, creamy, oilly and tickley on the tongue... I’m going to have another one, and savor it the next time ;>)
