kramer (3909) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 24, 2006
12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly murky chestnut colored body under a small off-white head. Quite alot of visible carbonation, and a light sediment in the bottle. Fruity and yeasty aroma with a touch of alcohol. Light notes of tobacco and grapes. Flavor is a little thin on the malt with alot of yeast, slightly sweet. Finish is short and lightly fruity. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Texture is soft. Overall, a decent enjoyable beer, but pretty stripped down when compared to it’s bigger brothers.

bulldogops (369) - Alberta, CANADA - JUN 16, 2013
330mL Bottle 7.5%. Have had this once before, but revisited as I lost tasting notes from my beer market trips in Toronto. Dark brown pour with a bubbly tan head, decent retention.heavy on carbonation Aroma is quite fruity. Full bodied. Creamy, buttery mouthfeel. Taste is ripened peaches, currant, raisin, spiciness. Extremely smooth finish and a lingering taste of sweet malt. Superb.

Medium brown colored hazy beer with a huge blonde head that never disappears completely. The aroma is very sweet and fruity. Body is quite thin and rather carbonated.

beelsebob (29) - Cupertino, California, USA - JUN 2, 2013
Smells of caramel and grass, but not strongly at all. Is a beautiful clear golden orange colour, with a white head made up of big bubbles that dissipates quickly with no lacing at all. Medium sweet with a bitter hint. Lively fizzy carbonation with a lovely creamy mouth feel. Overall pretty damn good, just not quite Rochefort 10.

sudomorph (29) - Barrie, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 31, 2013
UPDATED: JUN 10, 2013 Colour is a hazy brown. Head pours creamy. Thin but lingers. A subtle smell of fruit hits the noise. Taste is complex. Lightly spicy. Hints of fruit, apples. Very nice. Has a lingering warmth the warmer it gets.

mnmike (700) - Minnesota, USA - MAY 30, 2013
Fizzy pour that quickly dissipates. Smells of fruit and booze. Caramel color. High quality offering from Rochefort. You can’t go wrong with these guys, but I like the higher alcohol ones a bit better.

The only reason to drink the 6 is if you find that the occasion demands for a lighter beer than the 8 or 10. Still a really good beer in it self but falls short in the comparison.

Niller (118) - Hammel, DENMARK - MAY 29, 2013
Bottle from Voldby Koebmandsgaard. Pours hazy dark amber with a white head. Caramel, syrup, sweet brown sugar, roasted malts, some toffee,some wood, sweet malt and dark fruits. Nice mouthfeel. Sweet finish.

CpyNPrnT (45) - Indiana, USA - MAY 27, 2013
Bottle, of the rochefort beers, definitely 3rd best. Not as strong, too sweet for a Belgian beer. Needs more balance. Even if it was more bitter, it would add to the overall beer.

Pour from a bottle a light brown cloudy color. A nutty aroma with citrus hints. Taste come with both bitter and sweet notes and leaves with a light oily and bitter finish,
