Woah mamma. This was just phan-phrickin-tastick. Another belgian that I really liked. And in fact, I believe is better than the non-grand cru. This is more frutiy and malty. More warm and more honney.

Mar 5, 2010 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.

Jan 28, 2010 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.

Jan 22, 2010 Nice dark brown pour with a off white foam head, that sits thin around the rim. The aroma is fruity and rich. I might have gotten a bad bottle, because there was small pieces of sediment floating around. Didn’t hurt the flavor, but I didn’t know what to make of it, the sediment.

Jan 21, 2010 Pours a gorgeous dark mahogany, with a few millimeters of head. High-toned nose with all sorts of fruits and nuts. Expansive and elegant on the palate with a great finish and roasted, nutty accent. Demure and sophisticated brown ale.

Jan 15, 2010 750 ml bottle. A cloudy medium brown beer with a large, rocky, creamy, almost fullylasting beige head. The aroma has a medium maltiness and hoppiness and is lightly yeasty with notes of caramel, fruits (banana, plums, peaches), honey, flowers, spices (clove) and a hint of alcohol. The flavour is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Good balance with typical Abbaye des Rocs character. Smooth mouthfeel, medium to full body, lively carbonation, long finish with medium bitterness. Typical Des Rocs quality
