Rochefort Trappistes 6

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

This sure pours VERY foamy. Not a frothy head, but a definate large buble head. Extremeley cloudy in the glass. On the dark brown color in body. Aroma is almost bordering on the side of cocoa powder. Mouthfeel has lots of carbonation to it. Body is on the thin side for a Belgian-style. Flavor description....Hmmmm. Got the Belgian twang to it, but its really light flavored. Bit a alcohol. Again, with the cocoa powder flavor, mixed with some maltiness, and a chaser of hop content. I’ve had better.

Bottle: Poured a brown with white colored head. The aroma was sour fruit and dirty. The taste was gritty and not what I have become use to from rochefort. I have another bottle here at the house that I will try since this was a fest beer.

Bottle from Vinmonopolet Storo. Pours deep golden with an off-white head. Fruity and malty aroma with hint of caramel and Belgian yeast. Sweet, but still a bit "fresh" and also some bitterness in the finish. Very nice! (2012-07-27)

Rating from Aug. 2006. Started to pour out copper then the sludge made it to the glass. Now it’s a cloudy amber color with no head. Aroma is the classic Belgium yeasty fruitiness and some solid malts. I’m probably drinking it a little above 60F. Mmmm. Really nice flavor. The cherries are competing with the complex malty back bone for flavor supremacy. The malts seem to consist of the dryer grainy variety (maybe Vienna) and the more roasted caramel. Creates an excellent balance. I can’t detect any hops. Smooth fruity and malty after taste. First class brew. Not a flavor out of place. I look forward to the 8 and the 10.

C: Deep Mahogany, ruby highlights, long lasting generous head
A: Dark fruit, chocolate. Roasted malt
P: Medium to Full Bodied
F: Nicely balanced, fruit notes are balanced by the bitter hops, yeast more noticeable in the 6 than the others
O: All three Rochefort beers are pretty much identical (they start out as the same virgin batch) but the length of time they leave the batch in the vat really allows the beer to improve leaving the 10 a much better beer than the 6

330ml bottle from LCBO. Careful when popping the cap, lots of suds came pouring out and had to pour quickly. As a result, pours an insane amount of a beige foaming head and has a light murky coppery amber appearance. Excessive carbonation. Some decent dirty lacing. Some sediment visible at bottom of glass. Aromas of toasted and caramel malt, some earthy and resiny notes as well as yeasty hints. Flavours are similar to aroma in that the toasted and caramel malts are at the forefront but followed up the yeast and earthy hops as well as some mild spice hints. Full bodied, great retention. Fizzy mouthfeel. The easiest going of the Rocheforts but also the least interesting.

Pours clear, bubbly cherrywood with a thick, though not long-lasting, eggshell head. Aroma yields sweet apple, malty, earthy and subtle herbal tones. Flavor bursts with earthy, sweet apple, lightly toasted malt and herbal notes - is that a hint of tea? I love tea! - for a distinctive and very tasty Belgian. Mouthfeel presents firm, smooth body and lively fizz. Those Trappists live well - and drink well.
