St. Bernardus Brouwerij

Brasserie de Rochefort

Trappistes Rochefort 10 Quadrupel Ale

Dare I say the finest of the Belgian "quads"? Better than St Bernardus 12, Pannepot, and even Westvleteren 12? Drier than all of the above (though sweeter than I had recalled, but less candied). A broad mouthfeel, dark and raisiny, with its 11.3% ABV coming across only as a light spice on the finish. A classic after-dinner beer. Imported by Merchant du Vin, of Tukwila, WA. — 13 years ago
