Rochefort Trappistes 6

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Rochefort, Belgium

The aroma is sweet and fruity with notes of alcohol. The color is redbrown and slightly hazy with a beutiful light brown head. The flavor is fruity, alcohol sweet and "brown" (like a brown Belgian beer). An OK ale - but thin for a trappist.

(Bottle 33 cl) The smaller sibling to the two great Rochefort-brothers is still quite a mature boy. Dark amber, hazy with a small tan head. Very fruity nose - fresh fruit rather. Lots of yeasty flavours here, dry with notes of cocoa and perhaps licorice. Spicy and solid alright but an easier beer to drink than the the two big Roches. Fine introduction to the style. 240599

Burgundy coloured. very rich aroma with loads of banana and red berries. Medium bodied, big toffee flavour. Sweet. Loads of raspberries in the finish. A very distinct and flavourful beer

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with an orange hue, small sediments floating around. Thick creamy and light brown head. LOVELY floral yeast and slight sweet caramel aroma. Slight acidic and citric flavour, soon to go into a slight floral composition, with a solid sweet malt base. Ends in a slight spiced and distinct herbal finish. Great by all measures.

Bottle. Cloudy medium amber color with a small fizzy fair lacing off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, light yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily and carbonation is lively. Very light and easy to drink.

Bottle. Dark brown colour. Small creamy, light brown head. Tobacco and tea-like aroma. Sweet, malty flavour with some tea and milk chocolate. Aftertaste is also tea-like. A bit thin, but with a good level of alcohol.

Bottled. Dark brown colour, big beige creamy head. Sour grapefruit and earthy notes in aroma, very bitterish. Sweet plum along with grainy/mouldy earthy notes. Extremely complex, though still I find it quite boring. Some yeasty notes in finish.

Bottled. Brown colour with a beige head. Fruity aroma of spices, yeast, alcohol and liquorice. Flavour is dominated by anise with notes of fruits, yeast, chocolate and spices.
