Trappistes Rochefort 6 - Trappist beer

In the range of Trappist beers from Brasserie Rochefort, number 6 is the oldest It has been brewed according to an old recipe by the monks of the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy for centuries Only beers that are actually still produced by Trappist monks can be described as an authentic Trappist product Trappistes 6 fulfills all the criteria and bears the title with pride

Despite its impressive alcohol content of 7.5%, number 6 is the weakest of Brasserie Rochefort's Trappist beers: Trappistes 8 and Trappistes 10 are even more powerful Compared to German beers, their Belgian counterparts would definitely be categorized as strong beers; in Belgium, such high percentages are quite normal However, Trappistes 6 scores not only with its power, but also with a whole truckload of flavour

The unfiltered beer flows into the glass in the rusty brown color of chestnuts and is almost clear and glossy A thick crown of airy, slightly tinted foam sits on the copper-colored beer and exudes a wonderful aroma of heavy, ripe summer fruits, The first sip reveals a voluminous body with a creamy texture and lively carbonation Trappistes 6 delights the palate with a fantastic blend of soft caramel, ripe fruit, fresh yeast dough and a hint of black tea

Spicy, strong and aromatic - that's how we know and love Belgian beers!
