Rochefort Trappistes 6

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Rochefort, Belgium

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.

bottle. pours a deep brown with a quarter inch tan head... some nut, Belgian yeast and dark fruit aromas... medium body with an almost tart apple presence... big nutty flavor, somewhat sweet malt character with lingering caramel... a bit thin on the finish but finishes strong in flavor... solid Dubbel which really sets a standard.

fizzy amber brown pour, with a present fizzy head. Lots of sweet caramel, raisin notes, and a nutty character as well all blending very nicely. Very effervescent upfront, still lots of caramel sweetness, but more of a red fruit notes, of cranberry or raspberry, with lots of bread and yeastyness. Very enjoyable.
