May 7, 2008 750ml bottle, reads "Brasserie des Rocs... Brune". Pours a large creamy light tan head. Cloudy, thick amber color. smells like a strong, hoppy brown ale. Body is light but full. A nice mix of fruit, spices, malt, and gentle hops. Leaves an interesting aftertaste. Unless it’s because I just ate some dark chocolate. Alot like brushing your teeth before your morning orange juice, I guess. Easy to drink, yet very respectable and enjoyable. Now that the chocolate flavor has worn itself off my tongue, this tastes superb! You can really taste quality here.

May 4, 2008 750 ml. bottle. It’s another gusher, but a slow one. Rich aromas of bread and darker fruits. Like raisins and plums. Color is ruby brune and the beige/tan head was very respectible. The gusher raised small chunks. Near full bodied with coarsely creamy carbonation. Smooth. Flavor is hint of citrus which is covered by lighter fruit flavors like berry, red plum, touch of oak wood. There’s a decent amount of bitter to match the fruit sweetness. It’s more subtle and complex than I can readily describe. Incredibly good ale.
