I liked it but it still tastes like my grandmothers moldy basement. Maybe a little overrated(and overpriced).

Pretty awesome beer. Great dubbel. Boozy. Dark dried fruit characters. Sweet aroma. Great finish. Excellent.

Incredible. Not quite as great as westy 12 but excellent Trappist brew

Epic Trappist brew

Westvleteren 8 is a nuttier tasting step son of the 12. Not a bad beer but not nearly as the perfect mix of a rich dark beer with a Carmel hint at the end.

A creamy, thick, porous off-white head of good retention and thick, clingy, sticky lace wafted a complex aroma of plums, raisins, licorice, brown sugar, and a hint of boozy warmth. To the tongue, it was similar with dark fruits and some chocolate more discernible here than in the nose, though with a touch of anise and a faint hint of tobacco. There is a fair warmth and a smooth creaminess to the tongue despite its strong carbonation that smooths it out nicely. Like the famed Westy 12, however, I think Rochefort 8 tops this, as I feel the 10 trumps the 12. This isn't to say this isn't a fine beer - it is indeed worthy of its praise - but rather for two reasons: 1) The Westys are both a bit boozier on the nose and tongue to me; and 2) The Westy's offer more anise notes - which is fine, but for my personal preference isn't as desirable as some of the other notes I love in a good dubbel

Dark and malty, crisp mouthfeel with perky carbonation, fruity, light molasses, caramel, slight alcohol with a clean citrus hop backbone. Aged for 3.5 years, just past the best by date. Almost a lighter, cleaner version of the 12.

Dark brown with a finger of creamy head. Smells like it looks- very malty. Sweet malty start with a hint of bitter aftertaste, very favorably balanced toward the malt, and a smooth, not very crisp mouthfeel. Overall 4.5, would definitely have another
