The lower gravity cousin to Rochefort 10. Nicknamed "Spéciale" (’The Special’), this beer is the most recent production. The Rochefort 8 has a more tawny colour and a more pronounced aroma, with an even richer fruitiness (a slight undertone of fig?) and a little more spiced dryness, like that of a cake, which gives a balanced finish to the final notes.

21/XII/24 - 1.5L bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ Timtage Rochefort Tasting with foodpairing, BB: n/a (2024-xxx)

Food pairing: dark chocolate mousse with Rochefort 10 and tonka beans, prepared by yours truly.

Clear reddish brown beer, practically no head. Aroma: spicy, dry, oxidized, earthy, dusty, cardboard, sourish impression, earthy, oxidized. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: dry, a bit sourish, spicy, oxidized, dusty, cardboard, not great. Aftertaste: bitter touch, sourish, a little fruity, dried fruits, a bit watery in the finish. At age 10, the youngest Rochefort magnum of the tasting, but hasn’t aged the best, alas. Oh well.
