Commercial Description:
This beer, robust in taste and strength (9%) is the tops for flavour. It has a fruity and spicy bouquet, it has a stark taste, between a sharp bitterness and a caramelised flavour. It has no sugar, and this pure malt beer oscillates between various tendencies which all round off the bitterness. It has a peppery taste at the back of the mouth and a sharpness on the tongue. It is active in the mouth and lets each flavour express itself individually. It is very active in the glass which gives it a full, lasting, head. It has a long conclusion and puts emphasis on an ever present bitterness but less supported by the caramel. The final impression is one of gingerbread without sugar.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is amber/brown with lots of yeast sediments floating. Aroma and taste are rich fruits, spices, caramel, yeast and alcohol.

Medium white head. Amber body with a whole fleet of submarines. Strong bready raspberry aroma with woolen socks aroma. Dry-sweet strong raspberry and bread taste with spicy plastic notes. Fullish body. Clean, fresh palate. Dryish woolen herbal raspberry aftertaste. Excellent! (0.75l bottle from gr0ve.)

750 ml bottle enjoyed@GrOve’s. Fingerthick white cream head. Shiny golden-orange body with lots of sediments floating around. Inviting Belgo-yeast aroma; acidulous with dried tropical fruits, ripe citrus and flowers. Some caramel and yeast. Taste is deliciously sweet and fruity. Light caramellish and yeasty with some acidity. Soft mouthfeel. Almost full-bodied. Yum!

33cl bottle. lively as most belgians, but not too lively, i managed to pour before it gushed. extreme amounts of floaties in the glass, and unbelievable number of small and BIG floaties in the bottle. the bottom 1.5cm of the bottle is one big pile of floaties of frigthening sizes. never seen anything like this. if this is my laste rate, this beer killed me!. nice thick head, and nice amber colour. spicy/pepery/sour aroma. nice. flavor is also spicy, not sour. nice flavor. i think i’ll chicken out and drainpour the rest. this beer is alive!. biggest floatie is 2cm x 1cm x 0.4cm!! and i’m not hungry.

750 ml bottle. Best before 31-12-2009. Lots of floates, but in only half the bottle. Amber colour. Clear. Medium-sized white head that clings to the glass. Feels a little thin and dry in the nose. Wonderful sugary malt flavour. Really nice. Smooth texture from fine carbonation. Full-bodied. Caramel from the malts and the sugars and perfume from the yeast. Storing this beer made wonders.

This is my third beer from Abbaye des Rocs and it doesn’t impress my like the first two. There are a huge amount of solids suspended in the beer. The aroma has a somewhat prunish note, which is also a little bit evident in the taste. It does have a good flavoring, a sweet mix of grapes, prunes and caramel.

Reviewed 4/10/2009 (Bottle BB end 2010): Pours an amber reddish colored body, big suspended particles, off white. Small creamy head, quickly diminishing. Floral funky fruity aroma. Some sourness, and a little effervescence. Somewhat sour, dusty taste. Some floralness. Funky and stale tasting. Mostly clean aftertaste. somewhat bland. Might be an old/aged bottle.

750 mL bottle from Bruisin Ales. Pours a slightly hazy red color with a thin head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of pineapple, citrus, berries, other fruits, spice. Very fruity taste with citrus, grape notes and a bit of a vegetal nature. Tart finish. Full bodied.
