Trappistes Rochefort 6, Fläschchen von Ambrosetti. - Rotbraun, trüb; üppiger Schaum. - In der Nase warmes Toastmalz, leicht nussig, und ausgeprägte wenngleich runde Frucht, rote Waldbeeren, abgerundet mit feiner herbaler Hopfung. - Antrunk weich dunkelmalzig und deutlich obergärig fruchtig, wobei reife Frucht und dezente Orangenschalenbittere das milde dunkle Malz dominieren. Leise Gewürze, deutliche Kandiszuckersüße; Anklänge an Schokolade. Schaumig rezent, vollmundig. Im Abgang feine Gewürze und nur matte herbale Hopfung - bis zuletzt dominiert die dunkle Fruchtigkeit. - Schönes Dubbel mit einigem Tiefgang, freilich etwas zu süß und arg knapp gehopft (was wohl zu dieser Biersorte gehört). (3.1.2024.)

Amalgame de fruits noirs relevant des notes de pruneaux, de raisins secs, dattes ainsi que de la mélasse du chocolat et des accents de sucre de canne dans un olfactif où le malt et les esters dominent. Le liquide est brun moyen, voilé, avec des reflets orangés. La mousse de taille moyenne persiste quand même assez. Ce qui frappe à l’entrée de bouche c’est sa carbonatation extrêmement piquante. Les accents de caramel, mélasse, pruneaux, figues, clou de girofle, poivre et un léger boisé en font une bière d’une complexité remarquable. La carbonatation juste et efficace empêche de ressentir ce produit trop sirupeux. Comme tout ce que produit cette brasserie, cet opus est sans contredit un chef-d'œuvre de brassage.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a hazy golden/amber colour with a large thick creamy off white head. Quite a complex aroma with notes of mixed fruits (bananas and apricots), some caramel and also some bready and spicy notes. Taste is pretty much exactly the same notes as detected in the aroma with a malty backbone and a very smooth full buttery mouthfeel. Low carbonation with just a gentle fizz. A subtle earthy hop comes through late on the finish. Wonderful mouthfeel. Very well crafted beer. Excellent.

Bottle from Cheers Liquor Store, Todmorden. Amber-brown with a thin head. Hiding its strength well it has a richness about it, low in fruitiness, some booziness in aroma and aftertaste. Not overly flavoursome.

Almost clear golden, full foamy head with remaining laces. Dried plum and soap aroma. Taste of orange, syrup and dried fruit, nevertheless not too sweet thanks to adequate bitterness. Oily texture.

330 ml bottle. Pours a copper color with moderate head. Aromas of honey, sweet mashed fruit, Belgian yeast and soft toasted malts. Flavors of bitter orange, burnt banana, more mashed fruit leaning towards stoned fruit, and toasted malts. And oddly a bit of coconut!

Gentle fair rich bready malt up front. But then notes of booze, moslasses, citrus zest come roiling in. Finishing with sweet malts and citrus with a bite.
