Rochefort Trappistes 6

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Rochefort, Belgium

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.

7.5 % t.h.t. 19-11-2013 Midlle brown, nice head with crude foam, fruity nose, a bit maltsweet, almost dry beer. Limited hopfulness. Balanced and fine starter. A logical add to the assorti of Rochefort with its 10 and 8. Knowing them, 6 will not surprise you.

Murky orange appearance with dense yeast particles and mostly lacing moderate head. Grapes, plums, slight honey and citrus in the aroma. Crisp, dry mouthfeel with underlying dark fruits. Dry, peppery finish with some herbals. Medium bodied with dense yeasty texture and lively carbonation.
