| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 14, 2008 Bottle. Darkish amber color, moderate light white head, typical de Rocs egg drop soup appearance. Sweet aroma, Belgian yeast, malts, a light perfumey note is also present. Taste is amply sweet, but stays short of cloying. Straightforward Belgian amber with a nice sour twang on the back end. Very well done. bhensonb (4245), Woodland, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 28, 2008 Bottle at Cambrinus in Brugge. Rich dark aroma that is near vinous. Amber color with a fine beige head. Medium body with smooth, creamy carbonation. Flavor is a cross between ripe peach and raisin. Nice bitterness to balance. Alcohol is wholly hidden. Just excellent.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 1, 2008 Bottle, from Noel Cuveliers, Abele. Hazy, slightly chunky orange (even after a fairly careful pour), tan head. Spicy ginger cake aroma, cinnamon, dark sugar warmth, a touch of butter. Rich dark flavor, sweet and warming with a little chocolate bourbon note, dry finish. Lovely well-crafted beer. Brouwser (119), gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 22, 2008 De mémoire. Couleur orangée et cuivrée. Peu ou pas de mousse, très mince dentelle. Bière calme. Envoûtant parfum de miel, de confiserie, de caramel, de biscuit et de toffee. Goût très sucré, peut-être un peu trop. C’est un vrai dessert. C’est un bonbon…

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 15, 2008 Pours with a small white ehad and paintball sized particles (big turnoff) . . . particles are everywhere in the golden body. Aroma of champagne, raspberry and sugar. Yeasty-sweet belgian taste. Fizzy mouthfeel with yeasty aftertaste. ilovedarkbeer (1337), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 15, 2008 Pours a golden orange color with tons of sediment to the point of being gross. I guess that is Abbaye des Rocs for you... Nose is weak, sugar and dark fruit with some spice a bit of malt. Taste is watery and of belgian sugar with a short finish and some spice. Nothing exciting.
