Buy Rochefort 8 Switzerland - Belgian Trappist beer 9.2% 33cl | TheCrafts.ch

Rochefort 8 – the most harmonious Trappist beer from the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy

Since the 13th century, the Cistercian monks of the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy in the Belgian Ardennes have been brewing their beers in silence and devotion. Rochefort 8° is the most harmonious of the three Rochefort beers – strong enough for connoisseurs, approachable enough for newcomers to the world of Trappist beers.

Deep ruby brown in the glass, with a creamy, beige head. The nose opens with caramel, prunes, raisins, and a hint of clove. On the palate, it convinces with a full-bodied, velvety texture: malty sweetness, dried fruit, and a pleasant, warming bitterness on the finish. Complex, balanced, irresistible.
