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.

Bottle, 2025 vintage. Caramel aroma with notes of dark fruit, spicy Belgian yeast, toffee, leather, banana and clove. Pours dark caramel brown colored with a large tan head that has good retention and decent lacing. Starts with caramel, dark fruit, toffee and leather flavors as well as having a rich duo body and dry mouthfeel. Finishes dry with spicy Belgian yeast, banana and clove flavors. Excellent Belgian.

Might've been already expired since 5-6 months, so not a good experience :(

2006 bottle, poured in a Duvel glass. Hope that's all right. Dark, solid brown pour, thin layer of foam. Nose has some specialty malt spice, a bit of Chardonnay, perhaps. Very nice after nearly 20 years. Taste is wonderfully surprising. Again, specialty malt with caramel roast, light spice of coriander, maybe a bit of allspice. And there's some nice, basic "beer" taste underlying the whole thing.
