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.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with good head. Aroma/taste was a little to lemony/alcoholy for me. I preferred the 10.
Rerate 17 years later - honestly this is an elite dark fruit double

A regular trapping beer, boozy but it is find, malty, notes of plum and apricot, mineral and dry at the palate, regular hop, not so complex comparing with the 10, a beverage to drink quietly. 29.09.2020, drinking it at Epalinges, at night.

Bottle. This is an excellent beer. Actually ranks right behind it’s big brother. The sour after taste did cause me to lower my score a bit. Otherwise, great beer.

0.33 bottle. Hazy, brown-amber colored with thin head. Malts, sugar, and fruits in aroma. Pretty much the same taste that you expect after smelling it. Good beer.
