Abbaye des Rocs has full aromas of caramel, chocolate, pit fruit, and a suggestion of cellar mustiness. Luscious flavors interweaving caramel, chocolate, cherries, and a hint of coffee. L'Abbaye des Rocs ( vol.alc. 9% ) est une bière pur malt, sans addition de sucre. Tous les tons des goûts sont directement liés au phénomène de la double fermentation, des dosages précis de malts ( 7 types ) ainsi que des mélanges de trois types de houblons ( belges, allemands et tchèques ). Sa couleur est papale, rubis foncé et majestueuse. son goût est riche et plein de finesse. Elle se déguste comme un vin rouge dont elle a aussi en commun la robe sans le tanin. Elle développe un très puissant arôme de relents sucrés. Elle confirme l'impression initiale en première bouche enveloppée toutefois en plus d'un corsage d'amertume profonde mais bien équilibré avec un certain fruité. Elle s'émancipe au palais, et développe une impressionnante densité de saveur. On peut y déceler quelques relents de bois brûlé mais jamais de tendance torréfiée, même si elle a dans sa composition un malt de ce type. L'arrière-goût est très prolongé grâce à son développement dense et onctueux en pleine bouche. Les tendances d'amertume et de sucre ( bien qu'il n'y en ait pas dans sa composition ) rivalisent de plus belle, mais s'en retourne dos à dos à la plus grande satisfaction de son dégustateur. C'est une bière profonde, mystique et extrêmement mûre qui est à classer parmi les grands crus de notre terroir.

330 ml bottle, as Abbaye des Rocs Brune, bought at Pivni Galerie, Prague. Murky brown colour with floaties, enormous lingering head. Strong fruity aroma (cherries, prunes) with notes of leather, caramel and oak, hints of barnyard. Flavour is intensely oaky and malty with notes of smoke, dried fruits and spices. Alcohol is evident. Moderate sweetness, bitter and oaky aftertaste. Not for beginners this one.

Had this gem the other day, and it was mighty fine despite it being a warm summer day. A mahogany coloured elixer with a fruity bouquet that includes raisins, plums, some roastiness, and yeast. Alcohol is well hidden, and the flavour is balanced between hoppy bitterness, and the sweet caramel and fruit notes. A bit pricy at $4/bottle, but a damn good beer.

Wish list beer. Lightly murky brown pour, overabundance of a huge frothy cream head, lacing throughout. Ripe complex aromas and flavors: cherries, dates, plums, toffee, yeasts, chocolate, earthiness, goodness. Rich and creamy, warming and extremely satisfying.

750 ml capped bottle, bought at the brewery. Poured in the original Abbaye des Rocs stemmed glass an unfiltered and hazy ruby-brown coloured BSA with a two fingers beige and soapy foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Soft carbonation. Some lacing. Big floating sediments. The aroma is caramelized malts, dried fruits, plums, dated, figs and yeast. The flavour is heavy caramel malts, spicy, licorice and pepper, fruits, apples, molasses and dried fruits, plums, berries, dates. The mouthfeel is light crispy, fulled, thick, very smooth with a very present alcoholic feeling. The texture is oily. This full bodied BSA has a long fruity and spicy ( peppery ) finish and a light warming effect. A powerful and impressive Belgian Strong Ale from a tiny brewery, close to the French border.

wow. WOW! Definitely unfiltered. Lots of "litter" on the glass. Aroma is strong, dark fruit and banana. Pours medium brown with obvious sediment and a decent tan head. Flavor is amazing. Lots of brown sugar, alcohol hidden. All in all this one is a contenda.

An outstanding solid brown beer that I could drink forever. Alcohol is well hidden and replaced by the braomas and flavours of dark fruits like plums and figs.

Lots of floaties on the pour. Finishes a murky brown with a big foam cap. Smells of yeast and some kind of industrial cleaner. I am afraid to drink this there are so many floaties. What's with all of the foam? Oh my. The taste is terrific. Now I understand the high reviews. I taste brown sugar, spice and raisin. There is fruit cake, nuts and spices. This is possibly the best tatsting beer that I've ever had. The finish is short and a little dry.

Poured a nice dark brown color with a thick off white head that left a decent amount of lace. The aroma was of caramel and dark fruits. Mouthfeel was coating with a cherry flavor with some malty tones very little if any alcohol taste a very enjoyable beer.
