Rochefort Trappistes 6

Brewed by Brasserie Rochefort
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Rochefort, Belgium

Brown pour with a tiny beige head. Fruity, lightly yeasty, sugary aroma. Flavor is dark fruit, toffee, maybe a hint of caramel and oak. Nice.

330ml bottle. pours a tea brown with a thin tan head. smells of brown sugar, prune, and cider. sweet roasted espresso flavor with a nice dollop of toffee. feels a bit too prickly in the mouth, but overall it is quite delicious.

Dark and cloudy red-brown with a thick creamy head. Smells wonderful; apples and toffee. Flavor is not as exciting, possibly because the carbonation gets in the way. Flavors are toffee, fig and roasted pecans. The apple comes back in the aftertaste, but only very faintly. The CO2 stings the tounge a bit. Not as good as the 8 and 10, but still decent.

Bottle pours a quite hazy brown red with a quick to diminish white head leaving some lace, but not Belgian lace. The aroma is maple syrup, coffee, chocolate, just malty. The flavor is sort of like coffee, fig, slightly vinous, a lingering slight sour, and some coriander - pepper. Slightly smoky as it warms(?). The palate is very cleansing and middle of the spectrum rich. Overall, I like it well enough as it is nice to have a Trappistes without the sledge hammer ABV.

hazy dark brown with only a mild tan head. very nice flavor of caramal malt with hints of raisons, molasses, toffee. after-taste is a little peculiar, similar to the 8, it kind of leaves you slightly dissatisfied. neither the 6 or 8 compare to the 10 in my opinion.

bottle, fluffy head with malt sugar nose,iced tea color with no lacing, a bright malt taste

Tried at PP bottle shop. Did a side-by-side of Rochefort 6 and Westy 6. They are different beers. One is a blonde, one is a dubbel, the comparison isn’t correct. I like Rochefort 6 better this time, but my memory of Westy 6 is better. Light amber color. Fruitier than Westy 6. Malty. Some caramelization. Nice.

350ml bottle. Pours a very fizzy oxblood color with a 2 finger head that dies really fast. Nose is grapes and malt – almost smells like a watered down wine. Palate is grapes again, but I’m also getting apricots. Very wine like. Finishes dry. Watery mouth feel and zero lacing. Interesting brew. I prefer the 8 and 10 though.
