Rochefort Trappistes 8 Magnum

Country: Belgium

Brewery: Brasserie Rochefort

Style: Belgian Strong Ale

Format: 1.5L Magnum

ABV: 9.2%

The lower gravity cousin to Rochefort 10. Nicknamed "Spéciale" ('The Special'), this beer is the most recent production. The Rochefort 8 has a more tawny colour and a more pronounced aroma, with an even richer fruitiness (a slight undertone of fig?) and a little more spiced dryness, like that of a cake, which gives a balanced finish to the final notes.
