Rochefort Trappistes 8 - Dubbel
The Abbey at Rochefort has been occupied by Trappist monks since 1887 and the water source, drawn from a well inside the monastery walls is said to be intrinsic to the minerally character of its ales. All three of Rochefort's beers are made from two Pilsner malts and one Munich malt, with dark sugar added to the kettle. The hops used are German Hallertau and Styrian Goldings. Two strains of yeast are added for primary fermentation and a secondary fermentation in the bottle.
The Rochefort 8 has a tawny hue and is well rounded but deeper in flavour than the 6. It has an assertive, rich fig like fruitiness balanced with an even dry finish.
Each resident father is allowed one bottle of Rochefort 8 each day but most reserve this privilege for special days in the Christian calender.
