Rochefort 10 – A Twitter Beer Review

Trappistes Rochefort 10
Sunday our own Dr. Raol Duke, did a live streaming review of Trappistes Rochefort 10 on Twitter. In English, that means he tweeted his review as he was drinking the beer. For those of you who missed it, the transcript is below. If you want to see more of these reviews as they happen, please follow @DrRaolDuke on Twitter.

Without further ado, the Rochefort 10 tasting. Paired with McClelland's Drama Reserve in a Ser Jacopo. Opening now. #pipe-smoking #beerMar 07 via Twitter for iPad

Bouquet: Fudge and Coca Cola. mmmmm. Relieved, no hint of Clove or Banana. #beer#Rochefort10Mar 07 via Twitter for iPad

First sip: chocolate ice cream float. Very nice. thankfully, no clove or banana. #beer#Rochefort10Mar 07 via Twitter for iPad

And here comes the fruit. The result of collaborating with uncivilized, savage wild yeast. Luckily, it is more subdued then most BelgiansMar 07 via Twitter for iPad

The fruit is very much in the background, so not recommended for the sensitive man who prefers fruity belgians. #beer#Rochefort10Mar 07 via Twitter for iPad

I appreciate that the brewer did not forget beer is brewed with hops, unlike most barbaric Belgian blaspheming brewers. #beer#Rochefort10Mar 07 via Twitter for iPad

Sweetness aplenty and vast amounts of body. This concoction harkens back to the ales of Yore. #beer#Rochefort10Mar 07 via Twitter for iPad

I'm glad I didn't smoke a Latakia blend for this tasting. Would have overpowered it. #beer#Rochefort10 #pipe-smokingMar 07 via Twitter for iPad

Creamy and malty with the right amount of bitterness. The fruit has moved farther into the background. #beer#Rochefort10Mar 07 via Twitter for iPad

Look, I'm not saying it's an imperial stout but is sure does share some similarities. #beer#Rochefort10Mar 07 via Twitter for iPad

Excellent strong ale! 9.8 out of 10. #beer#Rochefort10Mar 07 via Twitter for iPad
