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 at Kulminator. Copper-coloured with a medium tan head. Fruity aroma with hints of banana and oranges. Good bitterness as well as complex fruity flavours, mostly bitter oranges. Well-carbonated. Grows on you.

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.

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.

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.

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…

Hazy orange beer filled with floating flakes. Small white head. Aroma filled with exotic fruits, orange and passionfruit among them. Dry and fruity with a candy finish.

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.

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.
