Rochefort Trappistes 6

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Rochefort, Belgium

Bouteille de 33 cl, rapportée de Lyon par Claude. Arômes de caramel et de fruits rouges. On remarque l’alcool. Robe orange foncé, très belle mousse et effervescence active. En bouche, le malt caramel et les fruits rouges prennent le dessus sur des touches de levure légèrement épicées. Finale relativement sèche et l’alcool est plutôt apparent pour une bière de cette amplitude. Une double classique.

Pours hazy brown with a beige head. Aroma is malty caramel, fruity plum, and light alcohol. Flavour is malt, roasted caramel, plum, raisin and light alcohol.

Drank from a Rochefort goblet. This was a liitle subdued . Maybe the complex 8 and 10 make you feel this is a ’Rochefort Light’ but the head waz fizzy and shallow , not like the big ass beige beer heads on the other 2 Rocheforts, maybe its symbolic of lack of magic. But this is still a 7.5 % Abbey ale -not exactly limp. Aromas of spice,bitter chocolate , corriander ,floral hops. The palate is a bit thin...chalky chocolate ...raisins and spice..a bit too much h2o .....

Pours like dark mud into a chalice, nice foaming, nice bubbling. The aroma doesn’t have much on it, however - just some coriander and alcohol. The tase is still divine, however, with lots of malts, caramel, and hops. Very drinkable but not as complex as its bigger brothers, but makes a good session beer. Problem is that it will likely cost you as much as the other two as well.

brownish amber with a huge off white head. Aroma is very fruity. Raisin and black berry. Flavour is roasted malt, light nut and toffee sweetness. Dark fruity flavours towards the finish which is a little dry. solid dubbel with a great aroma and decent flavour.

Poured into a trappist glass and aromas of berries and raisins. Initial flavors of fruits and ended bitter sweet with prominent taste of yeast. Not a bad beer, though I was hoping for more.

I had this at a gas station/cafe on the side of the interstate highway in Belgium. It somehow makes sense. Amber- brown color with a yeasty aroma filled with fruits and caramel. The carbonation of this beer elevated this beer and prevents it from being cloying or too sweet with a dry finish, which makes you want more. Awesome beer.

Bottle... Poured deep brownish/amber with a khaki head. Aroma of prunes and a big Belgian, yeast and malt quality. Well carbonated with flavors of berry fruits and other dark fruits. Sweeter malts and and a fruit juice quality. A little bit of hops, but just utilitarian and not so much for flavor dominance. Overall a dry, well ester-ed dubbel with a nice kick to it.
