UPDATED: MAY 9, 2004 Another very good beer from one of my favorite breweries Rochefort. Aroma and flavor are similar to its two big brothers, just lighter and thinner. Has that amazing Rochefort flavor but could use some more fullness. I still enjoy it very much when I need something lighter than 8 & 10!!

That same looong lasting light tan head as its brothers and cloudy orange-brown color. Sweet flowery aroma. Perfect balance between sweetness and malts, complex but not as complex as the 8 or 12, but can be drank alone, where especially 12 does it best with a good meal...

UPDATED: NOV 25, 2003 Light brown color with a very nice head. The taste is mild and very wellbalanced. A typical rochefort

Light auburn color with a nice persistant head and lots of lacing. The aroma is lightly hoppy with a VERY well balanced amount of sweet malt. The flavor is smooth and complex with not too many complexities coming out but just a solid foundation of malt and hops that balances this dubbel perfectly.

Ruby gold pour with a big head full of smaller bubbles, and by the way it's leaving it looks like it's going to be fairly lacy. Yup. Well balanced aroma. Nose is a sweet malt, slightly caramel, but is finely balanced with a fruit aroma backing. From tasting it, I find that I know the fruit aroma is from the hops. Flavors start out with the hops dominating and then going to the malts that were present in the nose. Flavor isn't as well balanced as the nose. But this was a pretty damn interesting Dubbel.

Nice clear medium brown color,small off white head that lasted for a nice long time.fruity malty aroma with a bread like hint to it.Nice malty taste slightly sweet and well carbonated with a mild fruit presence.The after taste is light and malty with a mild fruit accent.Not as profound in flavor as the others but very light and highly drinkable brew and well worth trying.Thanks JPDIPSO for another fine one.

Poured with a huge foamy head that took nearly 15 minutes to subside to a level where I could sip it. Great aroma, like being in a damp forest. The flavor is quite mild. Bottle was dated 2007, but it's impossible for me to look at a full bottle of beer for a week, nevermind 3 or 4 years! Still, a wonderful brew even at this tender age.

Cola appearance, very fruity aroma, with a little musky wood accents. Flavor does not match the powerful aroma, but it still very nice.

Most likely should lay this down for awhile (April 29, 2008), but I can not wait. Bubblely dark amber color with a tall rocky head of beige bubbles. Aromas of plums, figs, wintergreen, mild silage anf blackberries. Complex but not earth shattering. First impression - earthy with loads of alcohol. This really should sit a bit. Real herbal liqueur flavors. Creamy with just enough sprittz to lift it off of the tongue. Hits of licorice. Very nice now but I will put a few away for samples in the future.

medium brown-amber color...head is thin almond color..decent lacing. aroma is cheesy, funky and earthy. flavor is also moderately light, with a cheesy quality, but a nice malty and fruity finish..have to say, for me, this is the best of the 6, 8 and 10.
