Rochefort 10
11.3%
I suppose it's only fitting that I review the 10 this year, as I reviewed both the 6 & 8 last year. Trappist beer holds a special place in my heart. The proceeds from Trappist beers support the monasteries that brew them and those monasteries' charitable works. Drinking a Trappist beer isn't just about drinking something delicious, it's also about putting a little bit of good back into the world.
The Rochefort 10 is a delicious beer, though at 11.3%, it's not for the faint of heart. It's a Belgian Quad, making it sweet, caramelly, and rich. It goes down smooth but lingers on the palate. It's a beer that demands your attention. It pairs well with chocolate -- potentially not surprising given that Belgium is also known for beer & chocolate.
I was recently in Belgium on vacation with my girlfriend, and we spent a couple days in the town of Rochefort. It's a cute town, and a beautiful region. If you ever find yourself in that neck of the woods, I highly recommend giving the town a visit. Here are a couple of pictures our trip:
