I am a legend among the Belgian beers and have appeared on almost every list of the world's finest brews. As the strongest beer of the abbey, I come with an intensity that defies description. With a recipe that has withstood the test of time since 1952, I am rich in nutrients and brewed to be both food and drink for the Rochefort monks.
I pour a deep mahogany-brown topped by a fleeting tan head that bursts with aromas of dark cocoa, roasted wheat, figs, cherries, nuts and malts. My warming alcohol glow and flavours of leather, caramel, chocolate, plum, raisin and herbal hops are appreciated by whisky and wine lovers all over the world. I am a noble, distinguished and authentic Trappist beer, so do yourself a favour and enjoy me in a glass.

The Rochefort Brewery, or Rochefort Trappistes, is one of the only eleven Trappist breweries in the world. The monastery, Abbey of St. Remy, or Rochefort Abbey, was founded in 1230, and their monks began to brew beer within its walls sometime around 1595. Trappistes Rochefort handmakes full-bodied, deeply flavoured and bottle-conditioned dark ales that are now among the world's most highly-respected and sought-after beverages. As with all other Trappist breweries, the monks will not increase beer production based on demand or profit motives, but only enough to support the monastery and other charitable causes, resulting in its fairly limited supply.
