Dubble 6, Trappistes Rochefort
Description
Trappiste de Rochefort are top-fermented, bottle-conditioned beers, brewed within the Saint-Rémy Abbey in Rochefort, Belgium. A dark 'double' style ale, dry and surprisingly easy drinking. Abbaye de Rochefort 6 has a light citrus fruit taste, gently warmed, with some bittersweet orange notes and a hint of brown sugar.
The aroma is warming with hints of raisins, prunes, spicy yeast, earthy tones, and the most prevalent, light chocolate. The taste is full and rich like a brown ale, but was not heavy on the palate. The carbonation adds to the light mouthfeel, yet the 7.5% ABV lets you know that this brew has some body.

Producer Details
Brasserie de Rochefort is a Belgian brewery which produces four beers designated as Trappist beers. The earliest mention of a brewery at the Trappist monastery of Rochefort Abbey dates from 1595. The abbey and its brewery were closed in 1794. The abbey was re-established in 1887 and the brewery was re-established in 1899. Around fifteen monks currently live at Rochefort Abbey. The water for the beer is drawn from a well inside the monastery walls. Rochefort uses Pilsener and Munich-type malts, and Hallertau and Golding hops.
