Rochefort Trappistes 6

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Rochefort, Belgium

Pours a malty dark amber with a thick light brownish-yellow, two-finger head. Lots of flaky debris falling off from the head through the brew after the pour. Sweet, maple-apple aroma, not too strong. Strong carbonated sweetness at the start, but fades quickly. Another sip shows some bitterness and a shot at being somewhat sour cherry flavored. It does fall a bit short in terms of body and mouthfeel. Just okay in my book, for the class and style of beer.

Pours like cola with aroma of maple and paperbag. Watery for a top-class trappist dubbel. Will try again though since underwhelmed.

12 oz bottle. Like Rochefort 10, so I figured I’d try their Dubbel (after liking Chimay Red, another trappist dubeel quite a bit). Pours a dark hazy brownish copper color with a high offwhite head that dissipates quickly enough. Smell reminds me so strongly of Rochefort 10, but is of caramel, raisins, dried fruit, and red grapes. Tastes reminds me of a red wine, but with a sweet raisin-like flavor to it. Very interesting, especially the bite it has (which is neither alcohol nor hops), but I think I like Chimay Red more.

(bottle) pours a slightly hazy copper colour with a billowing off-white head. aroma of sweet caramel, figs and dates, bread and juicy hops. flavour is the same, with some notes of brown sugar and grain. light body, perhaps a little thin, with medium carbonation.

Nice sweet taste and pours a nice dark brown. Has an interesting finish with a hint of a kick. Really enjoyed this beer.

dark brown with good head. Sweet, molasses dark fruit aroma. Sweet taste . Excellent.

Bottle.Pours murky brown, with a generous frothy head. Aroma of sweet malt, some yeasty tones. Mild sweet flavour, moderata bitter at the end.

Pours a reddish brown with a thin light tan head. Aroma is bready, spices, a little cinnamon. Taste is mild spice, bready, some dark fruit. Will have to try the 8 and 10.
