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.

1,5 l Cuvee Vintage 2010. (Aged six years in My cellar). Drink in 31.12.2016. Big bottle from La Houbloniere in Belgium. And 750ml bottle. Vintage Cuvee 2010. (Drink in 2023) Special Thanks to Tim for rare and old bottle. No coz, jednak za pieknie sie nie starzeje to piwo, owocowe, sliwki daktyle, figi, rodzynki jumbo i karmel tak jak wersja magnum nie widze specjalnych roznic. Tamto pite po 6 latach a to po az 13, a wiec ponad 2 krotnie dluzszy czas, ktory specjalnie nic nie wniosl.

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

Food pairing: deer paté with armagnac, ginger bread with dried figs, caramel mustard seeds, Belgian endives and kriek confit, prepared by yours truly.

Clear reddish brown beer, practically no head. Aroma: oxidized, honey, malty, earthy, nice, good smell! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: soft roast, lots of dried fruits, malty, some chocolate, a little bit of cardboard, a bit oxidized, dry, dates, lovely! Aftertaste: bitter, a bit hoppy even (?), malty, good roast, dry finish.
