Commercial Description:
Abbaye des Rocs Grand Cru has a rich, complex fruit aroma of cherries, golden raisins, peaches, and assorted dried fruit, laced with honey and caramel. Smooth, rich flavors reminiscent of cherries dipped in caramel, finishing with notes of dried chocolate, roasted almonds, and a hint of molasses.

Cloudy brown, with a tan head. Aromas are yeast, caramel, fruit and malt. Flavor is sweet fruit, yeast, malt, caramel, and some chocolate. Alcohol isn’t completely hidden, but it doesn’t seem like 9.5% either.

Bottled 330ml. -from bierkompass.de; Birthday gift from my girlfriend.
Deep brown coloured, medium sized beige head, dark fruits and malty nose. Sweet malty, dried fruits and alcohol with notes of spices and caramel. Well balanced. For sure it’s nice beer but in my opinion a bit overrated.

Bottle that I picked up at Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, Belgium, 08-03-10 consumed 11-03-10 Pours brown with some haze and there is a slight reddiness to this as you hold it towards the light.There is a beige head atop but this soon departed. Very clean nose. This isn’t as sweet or as malty as I expected, there is dried fruits, cane sugar, some caramel and a hint of chocolate. A7 A3 F7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Bottle. Moderate milk chocolate for the malt, light cooked orange for the hops, moderate dough and earth for the yeast, with date toffe and brown sugar in the background. Head starts large ends up thin, frothy, off-white with very little lacing but good legs and is eventually fully diminishing. Color is slightly hazy red/brown with a lot of small particles. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic then finishes lightly to moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is on the fuller side of medium, oily with a lively to fizzy carbonation and has a dry finish. A nice deep and rich Belgian Strong Ale. The particles are a little scary, but this would only keep away the beer pleebs.

Dark brown with a medium brown and dense foamy head. Toffee sweet aroma with notes of cherries, raisin and figs. Flavor has a rich complex sweetness balanced by alchohol and a high carbonation, leading to a darksuger finish.
