Abbaye Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy (Rochefort)

The Abbey of Notre-Dame de Saint-Rémy in Rochefort has been brewing since 1595. The modern Rochefort beers (6, 8, and 10) are among Belgium's most celebrated Trappist ales, produced under the strict Authentic Trappist Product designation. Rochefort 10 — at 11.3% ABV — is the abbey's pinnacle expression: a complex dark quadrupel of chocolate, dried fruit, and spice.

Rochefort 10 is consistently rated alongside Westvleteren 12 as one of the world's great dark ales — more accessible than Westvleteren but equally complex. The three-tier range (6, 8, 10 referring to Belgian degrees of strength) demonstrates the full Rochefort style spectrum.
