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.

Pours a deep rich hazy brown from a bottle. Plummy, jammy nose with brown sugar twinkletoes. Flavor is similar, but a little thin. I have to admit, I’m a little underwhelmed, had built this one up a bunch. Good beer.

Pours hazy dark brown with a big frothy, light brown head. The aroma contains dark fruits (raisin, some fig), light roasted malt, yeast, light spice, bread and some alcohol. It tastes medium sweet, light berry-like or yeasty sour and very light bitter - great balance. Long finish, full body, creamy texture, fizzy carbonation. Well-hidden but warming alcohol. Belgian greatness in a bottle.

Mooi spul hoor, ingehouden tonen van chocolade en bosbessen en ondertussen een robuuste knakker van heb ik jou daar. Backlog from 2014/12/24. Enorme diepe bramige en bessige fruitige en kruidige smaak die dwars door een kartonachtige mufheid beukt. Perfecte balans. Tovenaarsbrij! Backlog from 2015/03/01.
