Rochefort Trappistes 6

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Rochefort, Belgium

Light amber color with a quickly disappearing head. Muted aroma but a very pleasing fruit taste, mixed with a good malt balance.

Date: 8/1/09 Beer info: Bottled in brown 330ml bottle 7.5% abv BB not sure Sampling Notes: Served chilled in chalice. Pours a huge, rocky, dense persistant offwhite head atop a bronze body that becomes ridiculously murky with sediment. The nose on this thing! WOW! Particularly yeasty I guess you’d say, perfumey citrus almost tea-like, ripe stonefruits peaches and apricots, stewed fruits too, rich underlying caramel maltiness. Very complex, hard to know what to expect but i’m excited! Velvety palate, smooth, with a solid length behind it, though noticeably smaller than the likes of the 10, bit drier towards the finish. Amazing flavour; caramalised banana, burnt toffee, fig, cream, phenolic spice, a nuttiness, citric tartness, hints of herb. Its just so complex and inviting, and before I know it, its gone! A truely awesome beer from a truely awesome brewery! Can’t wait to try the others once again in the near future.

Not a bad little beer. Smelled like fig and plum. Poured a reddish brown with a fairly decent head. Not as good as the 10 or 8. But different in its own way. Would drink again.

good belgian amber double beer.very fruity and sometimes floreal taste.sweet flavour at the end.little traces of malt.though enough complex is very enjoyable

11.2 oz. Brown pour with tan head. The head bubbled loudly then settled down < 1 minute. Faint aroma of ripe fruit. Clean tasting beer- light notes of sweetness. Not sure of age of bottle- imported by D & V International-Now it is importd by Merchant du Vin. Alcohol isn’t noticeable.

Pours dark amber with a nice beige head. Fruity and caramelly. Good Trappist.

Bottle. Hazy brown body, with a large off-white head. Aroma is dark fruits and caramel. Flavor is also dark fruits, caramel. way to much carbonic acid. Overall a nice beer.

Bottle picked up at the Lex/Larp Cellars going out of business sale. Nutty brown pour, medium carbonation and a very sweet and pleasant malty aroma. Flavor was plenty of stone fruits, brown sugar, malt and a little dry on the finish. A very good beer, but there are others out there that are better and cheaper.
