6, 8 & 10 are all fine beers but in my opinion the 10 far outshines the
other two. 10 is the beer equivalent of a very good port !

11.2oz. bottle

I'm still making an effort to try things that I have for some reason
not got to before. I don't know why I have passed this up before,
maybe the price.

I drank this at cellar temp. (high 50's). It poured a deep brown with
plenty of carbonation forming a thick fine head. Lots of fruit and
malt in the aroma. This seemed pretty clean for a Belgian, not a lot
of funk. There was a very big and smooth malt presence with just a
touch of hops, nicely warming. I had a hard time picking out specific
flavors, but I really enjoyed it.

I've seen the 6 around here, but I don't think I've seen the 10.

With the exception of Orval, I've not found "funk" in any Trappist or
abbey-style beer. A wide range of fruity aromas and flavors, yes. But not
funk.

I haven't tried all the Trappist ales yet, but I have got a bit of a
"musty" flavor from Chimay (can't recall which one).

Now, if you were getting at the level of fruitiness and the like, I'd
disagree that Rochefort is lacking in that compoent. It has one of the most
complex aromas of any beer I've ever had.


I loved the fruitiness in the aroma. I definitely didn't find anything
lacking. Good stuff.

I know. In my opinion, more alcohol does not necessarily make a beer
better.

I agree with you
