Trappistes Rochefort 10
Bottle: Unfiltered
In 1952, in order to place the modernisation of the brewery on the right commercial footing, much care was taken with the launch of Rochefort's two new beers. The refectory beer had been the basis for the development of the ‘Middel’ (also known as ‘Merveille’) which became the Rochefort 6. The 10, however, needed something else to elevate it: candy sugar, steeped in the wort in metal baskets, quite an innovation in those days.
Furthermore, two malts were used in the brewing process: pils and caramel malt, as well as wheat starch, two varieties of hops and Rochefort’s own yeast. The result was the powerful Rochefort 10, a beer sure to warm your heart with its robust dose of alcohol.

Brune pas trop forte
Een helder diep donkerrood bier met een licht bruine 1-vinger dikke schuimkraag van gemiddelde structuur. Geur van gedroogd rood fruit, rozijn, leer. Smaak heeft een mooie balans tussen de mout en hop. Ook hier komt het gedroogd fruit naar voren maar ook caramel en chocola. Iets te veel koolzuur naar mijn mening, maar dat is misschien ook maar beter. Daardoor drink je het niet te snel.
It pours a reddish color with a large, off white, long lasting head. It has the aroma of bread, dried fruit, leather, Belgian yeast & wet leaves. This is a complex, rich, extremely well brewed ale with a wonderfully velvety mouthfeel. I taste hints of chocolate, dried fruit, toffee & caramel with a wonderful bread flavor. This was truly a treat & a privilege to drink.
Barwa wiśniowo-miedziana, drobnopęcherzykowa piana niemal natychmiast redukuje się do zera, klarowne. W aromacie rodzynki, suszone śliwki i wiśnie, nuty karmelowo-tostowe, przyjemne. W smaku półwytrawne, słodowe o tostowym charakterze, bardzo krótko odczuwalne rodzynki, a później już przyprawowy finisz. Wiem, że wysycenie powinno być wysokie, ale tutaj jest chyba za duże, razem z przyprawowym finiszem jest nieco gryzące. Alkohol lekko rozgrzewa podniebienie. Biorąc pod uwagę renomę tego piwa chyba trafiłem na słaby egzemplarz, na pewno piwo dostanie drugą szansę.
Cervezaza de muy potente graduación aunque no se nota en el sabor el alcohol ni molesta. Color oscuro, con un dedo de espuma con buena retención, cuerpo medio y toque caramelizado pero no excesivo. Perfecta para acompañar con queso fuerte o carne roja, fue mi caso queso añejo y entrecot y con esa combinación sería mayor la nota, sola baja un poco.
Well balanced malts make this 11.3% very smooth going down. Aftertaste is warm dark fruits. Hard to draw any negatives.
Pours hazy nut brown with a touch of orange. Off-white 1-finger head. Mild aroma of nutty malt with a note of candy sweetness. Some herbal notes as well. Full-bodied and a touch syrupy. The finish is long, with a mild boozy astringency. Nutty malt flavor with a sweet note (kandi sugar?). Some herbal notes at the back (think of a cough drop, but more pleasant). Maybe a touch of tart cherry as it warms.
Best beer in the world
330 ml bottle poured at home. Pours brown with a thin off white head and lots of sediment. Smells like dark fruit, molasses, malt and brown bread. Taste is raisin, a touch of alcohol and some sweet breast malt. This is quite good!
Wygląd: kolor miedziany, lekki gushing, piana średnia, szybko opada, nagazowanie spore
Aromat: suszone owoce, orzechy, skórka of chleba
Smak; słodkawe, goryczka umiarkowana, pełny, owocowy, orzechowy, czuć moc.
Bardzo dobre, godne polecenia.
1 finger beige head, brown-mahogny body. Nose: Raisins, dark dried fruits, plum, malt and molasses. Taste: Malt, raisins, dark dried fruits, plum, molasses, brown sugar and alcohol. Long ending with some bitterness.
Belgian strong Ale dal colore marrone con riflessi mogano. Abbondante schiuma beige. Al naso prevalgono note di frutta, frutta candita, cioccolato. In bocca le note principali sono fruttate, cioccolato, lieve speziatura e accenni smoked. Finale con un discreto amaro.
Opaque brown color with lasting, thick, tan head. Malty and earthy aroma. Taste is sweet, malty and woody with a slow alcohol burn. Smooth and strong but with balanced flavor.
Tiene un color marrón obscuro, turbia, de aspecto terroso. Forma una espuma color marfil, de poca persistencia y mediana retención. Burbuja mediana.
Forma un buen encaje.
En nariz es muy aromática, muy compleja. De aromas dulces, destacan las notas de frutos maduros, ciruela, pasas, dátiles, al mismo tiempo destaca el aroma a nuez de Kola, vainilla, caramelo. El lupulo se percibe gracias a una sutil nota floral en el fondo. Es raro pero en otras ocasiones había notado más la presencia de notas a plátano, en esta ocasión son muy leves. Si se percibe la presencia del alcohol pero de forma sutil.
En boca es congruente con el aroma. Inicia con un suave dulzor que destaca la presencia de notas a nuez de Kola, vainilla, malta. Al mismo tiempo se llena la nariz de ese aromático lupulo, floral, que adereza la experiencia en boca sin molestar ni interrumpir.
El regusto es balanceado, ligeramente destaca el dulzor y hay el amargor prevalece de forma suave.
Con cuerpo medio a completo, y carbonatacion media.
*Nota: en esta ocasión la note muy aromática, casi como un perfume, nunca habia olfateado una cerveza así, ni las mismas Rochefort 10, pero es casi como si estuviera bebiendo una cerveza perfumada de forma muy seductora.
11.2 ounce bottle at The Winking Lizard in Copley, Ohio. Smell the sweet Belgium sugar and yeast. Dark brown in color with foamy tan head. Taste the sweetness. Smooth and powerful. You can tell there is 11.3 percent alcohol in this beer, but it’s well hidden. This is an extremely very nice beer. Cheers!
Douce on ne sens pas trop l’alcool. Note caramel, cereal
Solid very strong belgian quad.Some raisin/toffee.Pairs well w cheese
sweet, licorice, sour. deep triple alcohol taste. truly a nice balanced beer. to be enjoyed like a wine. it pairs like port with cheeses.
truly versatile and yet a great beer on its own.
mooie toetsen van chocolade en noten dier perfect gebalanceerd is! een echte aanrader
bottle. Poured murky brown with a silky beige head. Sweet malty aroma, slighty tart. Full bodied, high carbonation, slick mouthfeel with a warm finish. Flavour of dark fruit and roasty malts, notes of figs and peppery spice, a warm sherry quality.
Dark brown plummy raizin chocolate pallet
Strong foam
Good beer
Figi, rodzynki, przyprawy, pierniki. W smaku wyczuwalne owoce, od czerwonych po ciemne suszone. Ciasto piernikowe z przyprawami dodające słodyczy, skórka od chleba, może ciut wina. Mocno gazowane, alkohol dobrze ułożony. Klasyka gatunku w najlepszej odsłonie.

Ilgai saugotas įpatingai progai, geras , bet nebuvo wow
Kruidig biertje met stevige bite
Bottle conditioned. Little sherry aroma , no head. Like a mature Christmas cake, figs, prunes , very warming sipped slowly. Lovely. Surprisingly not that sweet given it’s alcohol content. Small champagne type bubbles.

330 mL/11.2-ounce bottle poured to wine glass
Sight: Brownish, dark amber color, medium foam, not clear
Smell: aroma of malted grains
Taste: very good, low bitterness, some sweetness
Mouth feel: low carbonation, alcohol comes out, sticky, good follow through, dry finish, slightly bitter aftertaste
Overall: very good beer, ok to repeat, not to look for BA RB
Bière brune bonne assez forte, bon goût de céréales, pointe de vanille
Reste en bouche
Pas vraiment trop d amertume
33cL bottle at Carlsens Kvarter
Cloudy dark brown with a nice, but diminishing beige head. Deep, complex, and very vinous aroma that brings your thoughts to a nice Barolo wine. Intoxicating notes of sherry and burned figs. Extremely well-balanced and intense taste, deep, sweet, and complex, very vinous with notes of prunes and cocoa. The alcohol is present, but very well hidden in its intensity. Texture is very foamy, more oily than watery. Exquisite beer, and my old favourite.

Dark ripe fruits. Sweet caramel. Butterscotch. Prunes. Light toasty malts. Yeasty. Lively carbonation. Alcohol taste well masked, just some warmth down the throat. Complex flavours. Solid belgian ale.
