Rochefort Trappistes 10

This has got to be the most common premium brew around, resting at number 7 on www.ratebeer.com's top 50 list, even though it is available world wide. Thank FSM for the broad distribution of Rochefort Trappistes 10. 

This Quadrupel Belgian Ale pours a dark brown with a lasting off-white head and appears to be highly carbonated. The smell is overwhelming: brown sugar, dark malts, cinnamon, coffee, this beer has everything. And even though it sits at 11.3% alcohol it can not be picked out by the nose. The taste is pure heaven and very smooth to boost; it is dark, hops-filled, with brown sugar notes... it is extremely complex. Overall the beer works wonderfully and I would recommend to anyone.

Appearance - 4.0
Smell - 4.1
Taste - 4.6
Texture - 4.7
Overall - 4.35/5
