Citrus, florals and some booze. Clear golden pour with decent head. Light potpourri. Bittersweet finish. Flavours are subtle. Orange peel. Not sure that it sits among the best of the Trappist triples, but it's good. Bottle.

330 mL bottle from Vintage Estate, 10/5/22. Hazy peach, chunks. Large offwhite head, good retention. Looks old but it shouldn’t matter for this beer. Aroma of bready malt, candi sugar, stone fruit. Taste is stone fruit, funk, bready malt, spice. Full bodied, delicate. High carb. Nice.

Bottle at the New Union, Kendal. Hazy deep gold with a large white head. Like all the Rocheforts the carbonation is rather aggressive. Smell and initial taste are liquid banana bread. Behind that there's orange, clove and cinnamon, sponge cake, and a faint hint of herbs. I really liked this, probably my favourite of the Rocheforts - but I just wish that they would reduce that annoying fizz.

Bottle at the Dovetail, Farringdon, 23/09/22. Hazed golden with a lasting just off white head. Nose is stewed fruits, prunes, faint citric rind, hedgerow, light Belgian yeast esters, straw. Taste comprises fruit loaf, hint of caramel, light breads, herb, clove, yeast load, light spice, figs, light candied fruit peel. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Solid well balanced exponent of the style never becoming cloying or overly sweet.
