Dubbel 8, Trappistes Rochefort
Description
Rochefort is one of the most famous and revered breweries in the world and makes three stunning beers. The 8 is a dark Trappist dubbel, with a gorgeous dark copper colour and big aromas of raisins, dates and banana. It’s smooth and slightly sweet before the drier, herbal finish. Brilliant with cheese and stews, it’s a great warming ale.

Producer Details
Brasserie de Rochefort is a Belgian brewery which produces four beers designated as Trappist beers. The earliest mention of a brewery at the Trappist monastery of Rochefort Abbey dates from 1595. The abbey and its brewery were closed in 1794. The abbey was re-established in 1887 and the brewery was re-established in 1899. Around fifteen monks currently live at Rochefort Abbey. The water for the beer is drawn from a well inside the monastery walls. Rochefort uses Pilsener and Munich-type malts, and Hallertau and Golding hops.
