In the series of Trappist beers from Brasserie Rochefort, number 6 is the oldest. For centuries it has been brewed according to an old recipe by the monks of the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Saint-Remy. Only beers that are actually produced by Trappist monks can be described as authentic Trappist products. Trappistes 6 ticks all the boxes and wears the title with pride.
In the range of Trappist beers from Brasserie Rochefort, number 6 is the weakest despite the impressive alcohol content of 7.5%: Trappistes 8 and Trappistes 10 are even more powerful. Compared to German beers, the Belgian counterparts would definitely be put in the strong beer category; such high percentages are completely normal in Belgium. But Trappistes 6 not only scores with its punch, but also with a whole truckload of taste.
The unfiltered beer flows into the glass with the rusty brown color of chestnuts and is almost clear and has a fine shine. A thick crown of airy, slightly tinted foam sits atop the copper-colored beer and exudes a wonderful scent of heavy, ripe summer fruits, subtle licorice and good whiskey. The initial taste reveals a voluminous body with a creamy texture and lively carbon dioxide. In terms of taste, Trappistes 6 impresses with a fantastic mixture of soft caramel, ripe fruits, fresh yeast dough and a hint of black tea.
Spicy, strong and aromatic - this is how we know and love Belgian beers!
