Strong Ale

4+

No rating

Volume: 330 ml

  • A Beer to be Savored!


    Trappistes Rochefort 8 is a celebrated Belgian Strong Dark Ale known for its rich complexity and aromatic profile. Introduced in 1955, this brew carries a 9.2% ABV, making it a potent yet enjoyable drink. It's distinguished by its green cap and is often referred to by its original name, "spéciale." The beer is renowned for its sweet and chocolatey notes, balanced by a subtle alcoholic warmth that doesn't overpower its rich maltiness and fruity undertones.


    The Rochefort Brewery, part of the Rochefort Abbey in Belgium, has been producing beer since 1899. Known for its traditional brewing techniques, the brewery draws water from within the monastery walls, using Pilsener and Munich-type malts along with Hallertau and Golding hops. The brewing process at Rochefort is deeply intertwined with the monastic life, focusing on quality and tranquility rather than competition, underscoring their beers' unique character.


    The beer pairs wonderfully with a range of foods, from pork fillets in cocoa sauce and strong Belgian cheeses like ‘Achelse Blauwe’ to dark or extra bitter chocolate. It's suggested to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, served at 8°C - 14°C in the traditional Rochefort goblet/chalice glass to fully appreciate its character and aromas​.
