Rochefort Trappistes 6

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Rochefort, Belgium

11.2 oz. brown bottle. Best before 07.11.11. Poured out a deep reddish color, almost brown. Has a huge tan colored head. Aromas are of dried figs, sweet malts, some damp basement. Medium mouthfeel, thinner than the #8. Tasted along with the #8. It is thinner in mouthfeel, but tasty all the same. Flavors are almost the same as #8, but not as hoppy. Another top shelf Trappist beer.

330ml bottle served in a trappist glass red with aged brown edges. creamy beige off white head. Aroma of carmel and malt slight herbal notes. medium body with a smooth texture, Flavor of sweet caramel. the finish is lacking, I did not experience the high carbonation that others have mentioned.

Nice chunky apperance for a Belgian Ale, aroma was mild with herbal notes. Wasn’t expecting it to be as good as the ten. This beer is very carbonated at the end with fruit and sugar up front. Pretty good beer.

Bottle poured a hazy cinnamon with a lasting amber head. Aromas of candied fruit, carmel, yeast, light spice and hints of toffee and vanilla. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of toffee, yeast, light fruitiness and a hint of spice with a smooth semi sweet finish.

Pretty smelling beer, molasses malts meet flowery hops. Some grapes or raisins too. Poors with a very small beige head that disappears completely. Color is a muddy brown with a red tinge, thick with small particles. Flavor is nice, but nothing jumps out too much at me. Texture starts creamy and then fininshes dry and metallicy in the back of the mouth. Carbonation is lively, but the beer isn’t quite as alive. This brew is good, but I have had better Abbey Dubbels.

Bottle, 33cl. Pours a nice red brown beer, with a lightbrown/off-white head. The aroma is malty, with notes of caramel, sweetness and a little alcohol. The flavor is mostly sweet malts with caramel and slight bitterness. Slightly thin body. Overall a thin belgian beer, but the taste is above average.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 7 Dec 2007) Dark reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, herbal nose with chocolate, toffee and dried herbs (dill?). Malty, herbal taste with notes of chocolate, moccha, dill, thyme and a hint of swedish julmust. Fairly dry, modest but spicy bitterness. Brilliant beer with a lovely herbal touch!

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a muddy brown with a medium but fading tan head and an aroma of caramel, ripe grapes and biscuit. Flavor has notes of caramel, cacao, coffee, brown sugar, nuts and some citrus and grapes. Finish is nice bitter, but a bit watered down, so it doesn’t last for that long. Nice beer, but the others are better
