This bottle of goodness travelled all the way from southern Belgium, where it is brewed by one of the only Trappist Breweries in the world. Rochefort makes three Ales — the 6, the 8, and the 10. I recently purchased a 10 at New Beer in Manhattan and aside from having sampled a large number of high powered Trappist ales in Antwerp over the summer, this is the most intense and amazing beer I’ve ever had, period. This is one of the few brews that I have had which are deserving of the “Life is Beautiful” tag. Whenever there’s a beer that there’s not much more to say about other than “if you haven’t had this, you haven’t had beer,” I’ll just tag it like that to keep it simple. Rochefort 10 is full of amazing flavor like dried fruits and other dark and mysterious things. There’s a ton of alcohol at almost 11.5% ABV, and you can taste it. But it doesn’t matter, because you’re literally swimming in a full bodied, complex, ocean of a beer that is the very blueprint for hundreds of imitators. Seek Rochefort now and seek it often. Reviews of the 6 and 8 are forthcoming.
