Poured at about 14% celsius into matching glassware, Trappistes Rochefort 6 has the appearance of builder's tea viewed with strong sunlight behind it. This bottle displayed a quickly collapsing head with a gentle bead of carbonation.
This most gentle and elusive of the Trappistes Rochefort brews displayed a dried fruit and Old Holborn-pouch nose, giving way to rye and malt, sweet spice and Muscovado, with a dry, hop-brightened finish. This beer displays a gentle, elegant finish with a deceptively lithesome mouth feel that belies its strength. You could kid yourself into believing this was a seasonal session beer, until you fell over.
Trappistes Rochefort don't seem to put a sandal wrong. This is a house choice.
