Abbaye des Rocs Speciale Noel

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Brown colour. Powerfull nice aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Very spicey. Long finish. Creamy palate. Really nice beer.

The body is a cloudy brown and it’s topped with a tall, creamy ecru head. The aroma is sweet with dates, figs, malt, brown sugar, and spices. A mild bitterness is introduced into the flavor and there’s just a trace of alcohol. Tasty.

Bottle. Nice big head with good duration. Color is brown with some sediments floating. Aroma is dark fruits spices and malts. Taste is sweet with spices and fruit. Some notes of alcohol too.

A splendid beer very balanced sweet and fruity. Not so complex as there other beers, but still a must for beer lovers

Tasted at Beer Cricus, Brussels. Loads of fruit in the aroma. Dark, cloudy brown beer with a lacing head. Sweet and fruity aroma and flavor, but it lacs the house taste of this brewer and that is a good change.

Dark red, large head, good lacing and loads of sediment. Spicy sweet aroma with a huge malt profile, very fruity (orange, sweet pineapple), refreshinly citric, some hops shining through but this was a large spicy sweet maltfest. Taste was sweet, very round & fullbodied, with some hopbitterness and bready yeast. Medium carbonation, thick & dense mouthfeel.

Red/brown , with a rich frit and little spice in nose, a rich complex slightly sweet malt with a little bitter in linger, and a meaty chocolateness to it

Draught at The White Horse on Parsons Green (London), amber with a filmy white head. A roasted malty aroma with a touch of pineapple fruit. Very smooth at first with citrus and spice flavours, followed by a grainy maltiness and more spice in the finish. Very good.
