Rochefort 10

Roshefort 10 is a Belgian Trappistes beer. The alcoholic content is 11 to 12%, which is very high for beer. We sometimes call such beer whose alcoholic content is more than 10% Belgian wine. If there is one word to describe this beer, it's complexity. It is like peach, raisin, oatmeal stout and more as much as your imagination tells. It has surprisingly long finish. Sweet but bitter at the same time. In a glass, it has dark ruby color. Richness in taste and body is far beyond what one would expect from beer.

I'm drinking it now. I've drunk this a few times before, but I just wanted to recall the taste with a little more educated palate of mine. I'll probably get some for you for Christmas. It's a wonderful beer from a Catholic monastery. (By the way, Trappiste monks make good beer.) Pax vobiscum!

P.S. I'm not qualified to criticize beer because I do not know how they are made in details. More I drink beer, more I realized I needed to know how to brew them.

P.P.S. I want to get hold of Samiclaus (spelling?) for Christmas. Isn't the beer named Santa Claus perfect for the day?
