Rochefort 10

Today offering is another Belgium beer but this time a classic trappist

 

 

 

Appearance:

Very dark chestnut with off white head that leaves a ring around the glass.

Aroma:

Over ripe vinous fruit dominate the aroma with a slight nuttiness with a touch of earthiness.

Taste:

The taste starts like raisins with a stalk still in and then a flavour like a port wine with a crispy acidity comes through. The finish is dominated by warming alcohol ripe fruit with a touch of very rounded peppery hops.

Overall:

The best Rochefort, others I think are a waste of money but this is spot on complex, warming alcohol rounded flavour. Intresting trappist in spell check suggests rapist, maybe they know more about the catholic church than me................
