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.

Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a dark brown with a huge, latte colored soapy head that dissipates then leaves a nice film throughout. Lots of dark fruit on the nose: plum, raisin, prune along with sorghum, bread pudding, star anise, clove and nutmeg. Taste is fairly similar with lots of combinations of the flavors above standing out at different times. Hides the ABV fairly well, but still has some slight booziness. Finish is dry with that classic Belgian yeast characteristic. Very solid, but I prefer the Rochefort 8 all day.

Deep amber colour, opaque, tall off-white head shrinking to a thick & creamy film clutching at glass. The aroma is yeasty, perfumy, some champagne, candy, roast, dry fruit, honeymelon, earth. Some notes are hard to define. Full body. Very warming. A dozen of taste aspects: dried fruit, sherry, champagne, liqorice, liqueur, praline, cognac, spicy yeast. It’s hard to find words for the complexity of this brew. Some hops delivers the finish of the perfect picture. Splendid.

Marrón oscura. Un par de dedos de espuma bastante duradera.Olor a azúcar moreno y hierbas. Mucho sedimento. Textura cremosa. Sabor con dulzor agradable inicial, bastante suave junto con especias y hierbas. Desencadena en final bastante alcohólico y seco. En conjunto bastante equilibrada. Es una muy buena cerveza.. Y una gran copa. Aunque no entre mis quads

330 ml bottle at home. BB 11/2017. dark brown hazy color. medium big off-white head. smells malty sweet, dried fruits, liqueurish, honey, light notes of marzipan, plums. full body, rather bubbly carbonation, oily mouthfeel. tastes malty sweet, nice notes of berries and dried fruits, warming alcohol, liqueurish, notes of candy and light marzipan. finishes with dried fruity and alcoholic notes. quite nice, had this at the same time as Westy 12 and its a close tie. The Westy was a bit less obvious boozy, but it was cellared for a while, while this one was relatively fresh. overall both great beers though.

Bottle from Drinks of the World. Pours hazy brown. This beer defines the standard when it comes to Quadruples, but there are more complex ones. Still a beer that I drink often as it is available everywhere.

0.33 l bottle. Dark brown, cloudy, tan foam. Powerfull aroma: rich and charming malt, caramel, dried fruits, raisins and prunes, a little spice. Taste: sweet, malt, wine, berries and fruit, cherries with brandy, hops spicy and light bitterness in the finish, very warming. Amazing!
