Bottle: Unfiltered This beer, the oldest of the three Rochefort Trappist beers, has the reddish colour of autumn leaves, a soft body and an earthy, herbal palate (a hint of Darjeeling tea), which develops into a deep fruitiness.

Pours dark amber with visible carbonation and a quite dense white head which shows good retention and nice lacing. Rich and vivd aroma with caramel and brown sugar sweetness, fruitiness, slight spiciness and a refreshing herbal/balsamic note. Taste follows the aroma with medium to high caramelish and sugarish sweetness, fruity esters, slight spiciness/pricklyness and just enough bittering balance in a balsamic/herbal finish. Medium bodied with medium to high carbonation, quite creamy. An highly drinkable and enjoyable strong ale that is still quite complex. Good

Decent pour, surprisingly tame for a Trappist Ale; the color’s a lovely hazed golden brown and the head’s persistent, but the lacing has gone missing. Aroma gives up waves up Belgian yeast, raisins, apples, and overripe peach and a hint of booziness. Taste develops nicely as it warms, growing more and more complex as the dark fruit notes mesh with a caramel-tea sweetness backed by a bitter minerality. Plum and red apple and black cherry underneath it all, followed by a earthy-doughy finish offset by the slightest floral hop bitterness. Solid sparkly Belgian mouthfeel. Not my favorite Trappist but a solid beer nonetheless.

Bottle. Color: Reddish brown. Dense off white head. Taste: Medium sweet ripe red fruits, hints of yeast and sugar and notes of caramel and almond. Pretty much carbonation. Overall a nice fruity beer to enjoy.
