Trappistes Rochefort

Rochefort is one of the classics that we have stocked for the 40 years we have been in business.  It seems like it has always been on the shelf, so we never talk about these beers as we take them for granted.  They are considered some of the best in the world!
We are mentioning Trappistes  Roquefort because we are seeing a new beer from them....should arrive tomorrow!

Trappistes Rochefort Triple Extra "Purple Cap"...$5.39
Rochefort Triple Extra (purple cap, triple, 8.11% ABV).
In 1920, well before the production of the famous Trappist Rochefort 6-8-10 in the 1950s, the monks at Rochefort brewed an extra-strong blonde beer and continued brewing it for several years. Now, 100 years later the monks are very happy to offer a strong blonde beer inspired by the original recipe.  Golden Blonde colour, launched in October 2020, first in The Netherlands and later in Belgium. According to the monks, they are still finetuning the recipe before releasing it worldwide




Trappistes Rochefort 6 "Red Cap"...$5.49 / 11.2oz bottle
Dark Trappist Ale "Dubbel"

Reddish-brown color with amber-gold highlights; soft body leads to earthy flavors and an herbal character. Refined, soft spiciness in the bouquet finishes with a bit of caramel. Bottle-conditioned for soft natural carbonation. Rochefort Trappist 6 is named after its original gravity measured in “Belgian degrees” – a brewing scale no longer used today. It was first sold to the public in 1953.

Trappistes Rochefort 8 "Green Cap"...$5.49 / 11.2oz bottle
Dark Trappist Ale

Deep brown color; the flavor is vigorous and complex, with firm body to support the strength. The aroma has elusive notes of fresh fruit, spice, leather, and figs.
Originally brewed for New Year's Eve and called “Spécial,” Rochefort 8 dates to the mid-1950s. The name comes from the original gravity in “Belgian degrees.”
