Abbaye des Rocs La Montagnarde (Ambree)

Bottle picked up in Belgium. Tasty strong Belgian, perhaps slightly sour as others have noted. It’s not up there with the regular Abbaye Des Rocs however.

Dark orange with a big head and holy Hurrican Ivan look at all the particles stirred up by the wind! Sticky lacing. Moderate spice aroma, with a sweet air and traces of alcohol. Spice particularly pepper in the front, alcohol climbs up the sensory chart leaving a dusty fruit and alcohol finish. Malty body with pepper on the tongue.

8 May 2004 - Intense spicy hop fruit malt aroma. Cloudy light brown colour. Sweet hoppy apricot malt flavour. Medium body and lingering hop taste.

Poured murky amber brown with a thick tan head...smelled of rasins, malts, and orchard fruits...malty and sweet in the mouth up front, but then citrus with a hoppy bitter finish...very delicious and quite busy in the mouth...

Lovely aroma of malts.. and oranges??? Huge beige head over amber body. Surprisingly American in flavour regarding hoppiness. A bit thin, but nice and refreshing.

Raisiny malts, Tootsie Roll, light fruitiness. Apple, cider, yeast. Dark orange-amber hazy, with huge chunks, almost nasty. Off-white foamy lacing head. Heavy body with medium-heavy carbonation. Heavy malty sweet start, raisin, candy sugar. Vapory and alcoholic. No acidity, dry figs, light bitter hops. Finish is bread, yeast, brown sugar. Sweet yeasty after.

Somewhat sickly cloudy amber color with a large white head. The aroma wasfull of lemon, grass, pepper, barnyard funk, and some apricot. The flavor was quite sweet with citrus (lemon mostly) and sugars...nutmeg, brown sugar, pepper, and funk in the aftertaste. The feel was medium thin and very spritzy...dry finish. Thanks Mike.

Beautiful glowing apricot color with a large off-white head. Lots of lemon with some grass, malt, sugar and earthy aromas. Delicious lemon, belgian candy sugar, malt, grass, and earthy flavors. Lightly crisp feel with a fairly dry finish. Very good!
