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 (7/23/24) pour from Total Wine & More, Burlington. It's a hazy dark amber with TONS of effervescent sparkle, 1/2-finger width crackling tan head with excellent retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong dark fruit, fig, green apple; lemon as it warms. Taste is strong dark fruit, caramel, fig, rock candy. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin, frothy texture, average carbonation, vaguest alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, good complexity and balance. Glad I finally got around to trying it.

Bottle from Systembolaget. I should really have been paying more attention whilst drinking this. But here goes. It was in many ways a classic quadrupel - interesting winey aroma and flavours; quite light on the palate for the percentage and girth. Didn't wow me but was lovely anyway. (13/3/21) ---- Bottle from the brewery, Rochefort. As above, it has a profound aroma that is hard to pinpoint. It's a mature and profound trappist ale. 3.8 to 3.7.
