Rochefort

‘Trappiste de Rochefort’ is a top-fermented dark beer. It is brewed and decanted within the Saint-Rémy abbey in Rochefort. The small dimensions of the Brewery enable the Trappist monks and their brewery workers to keep total control over the manufacturing process. The craftsmanship that goes into brewing the beer is much appreciated by discerning drinkers!
It is a beer that is made from nothing but natural products: spring water, malt, hops, sugar. Yeast provides the fermentation.
The Trappist monks at Rochefort brew three special beers, 6 (= 7.5%) - 8 (9.2%) and 10 (11.3%)
With secondary fermentation in the bottle, Trappiste de Rochefort releases all of its flavour when served in a specially shaped glass at a temperature of 12 to 14 degrees Centigrade. It is then up to you to make your own personal assessment of the individual flavours of the various Rochefort Trappist beers!
Only those products manufactured within the confines of a Trappist abbey, under the watchful eye of the community living there have the right to bear the label of Trappist authenticity. It is an ‘appellation’ that is strictly monitored.
