Abbaye des Rocs La Montagnarde (Ambree)

Glowing amber-brown with tons of floaties. Big, fragrant, sweet and fruity aroma with caramel and honey and a slight tart edge. Rich, smooth honey-like flavor, with deep caramel, spices, and lots of dark fruits. Rather sweet for me, but rich and complex malt, balanced by alcohol. Nice but not one of their best.

Dégusté avec french tickler le 7 avril 2007. Murky caramel poor with lots of sediments and a nice frothy off-white head. Aromas of allspice, caramel, alcohol, vanilla, peaches and brown sugar. Incredibly long bitterness, fantastic balance with its sweetness and bitterness. You can definitely feel the alcohol. First impression is its sweetness. Up to par with THE abbaye des rocs.

330 ml bottle. Hazy, reddish, golden body with floaters and a dense, lasting off-white head. Aroma of tea, demara sugar, fruit and alcohol. Flavor is very sweet, malt, spices and alcohol. This beer is actually disgustingly sweet, but somehow balanced by alcohol in a challengingly way. I’m not offended by not totally happy, can’t say I dislike it either.

Bottle. Muddy orange colour with lots of yeast swimming in the glas. Sweet fruity taste with rich notes of yeast, citrus and spices.

Bottle, pours deep cloudy orange/brown with a medium white head. Aromas of hops, pine, orange and yeast. Creamy mouth brings a sweet and sour flavor of orange juice, ends dry with a lingering fresh hop finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle 33cl, hopduvel Gent. Pours hazy amber orange. Aroma of spices, herbs, dust, citrus. Very much like the commercial description here. A good beer.

Bottle @ Take One. Cloudy amber colour with massive chunks in it, big creamy off-white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, yeasty spiciness, some fruits. Flavour is really subtle, soft and sweet, caramel, yeast, some spice, nice dry slightly bitter finish.
