UPDATED: JAN 12, 2022 bottle. Poured murky brown with a silky beige head. Sweet malty aroma, slighty tart. Full bodied, high carbonation, slick mouthfeel with a warm finish. Flavour of dark fruit and roasty malts, notes of figs and peppery spice, a warm sherry quality.

UPDATED: JAN 9, 2022 Figi, rodzynki, przyprawy, pierniki. W smaku wyczuwalne owoce, od czerwonych po ciemne suszone. Ciasto piernikowe z przyprawami dodające słodyczy, skórka od chleba, może ciut wina. Mocno gazowane, alkohol dobrze ułożony. Klasyka gatunku w najlepszej odsłonie.

UPDATED: DEC 21, 2021 Bottle conditioned. Little sherry aroma , no head. Like a mature Christmas cake, figs, prunes , very warming sipped slowly. Lovely. Surprisingly not that sweet given it’s alcohol content. Small champagne type bubbles.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2021 33cL bottle at Carlsens Kvarter Cloudy dark brown with a nice, but diminishing beige head. Deep, complex, and very vinous aroma that brings your thoughts to a nice Barolo wine. Intoxicating notes of sherry and burned figs. Extremely well-balanced and intense taste, deep, sweet, and complex, very vinous with notes of prunes and cocoa. The alcohol is present, but very well hidden in its intensity. Texture is very foamy, more oily than watery. Exquisite beer, and my old favourite. 9-4-9-5-19

UPDATED: OCT 21, 2021 Dark ripe fruits. Sweet caramel. Butterscotch. Prunes. Light toasty malts. Yeasty. Lively carbonation. Alcohol taste well masked, just some warmth down the throat. Complex flavours. Solid belgian ale.

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2021 Rochefort 10 pours a dark brown color with a red hue. Its beige head is and frothy and sustains itself well for the brew’s weight of 11.3% alcohol by volume. The dense nose is an incrediby complex interplay of notes including brown cane sugar, caramel, baked apple, pear, figs, blackcurrant, milk chocolate, biscuit, butterscotch, as well as bright bubblegum notes and even some fruity ginjoko. This incredible bouquet is not simply dark as one would expect, but its darkness is accentuated by bright aromas at the same time. On the palate, the muted sweetness is balanced out by the heavy flavors up front, which include notes of prunes, caramel, and dark bread crust, before the roastiness of the malts as well as the bitterness from the hops invigorate the mid-palate. Peppery spiciness and warming alcohol conclude each mouthful with a dry finish, which leaves impressions of dark fruits and dark bread behind. A deeply complex brew.

UPDATED: OCT 12, 2021 Bouteille - meilleure avant le 20.08.2025 (lot). Robe ambrée foncée, limpide, peu scintillante, efferescence nulle.

Texture: corps moyen, carbonation faible, très bonne buvabilité. Très bel équilibre.
