Commercial Description:
Abbaye des Rocs Grand Cru has a rich, complex fruit aroma of cherries, golden raisins, peaches, and assorted dried fruit, laced with honey and caramel. Smooth, rich flavors reminiscent of cherries dipped in caramel, finishing with notes of dried chocolate, roasted almonds, and a hint of molasses.

Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. This brew was sweet and full of malt goodness. I got the cherries, caramel, and light spice. Very nice palate on this one, although I got a little alcohol burn (very slight). Excellent brew.

Bottle. Pours reddish brown with foamy white head, lots of sediment floating. Can smell cherry, yeast, and spice, maybe nutmeg. Tastes of ripe red fruits, plums, spice and bread. Very smooth and sweet, kind of sticky mouthfeel. Nice beer.

(10/31/08) Draught at Blue Palms in Hollywood (thanks Brian for the free beer!). Dark muddy brown color. Aroma of licorice, raisins and other dark fruits, malt, caramel and some roastiness. Very sweet malty flavor with some brown sugar, raisins, prunes notes, chocolate notes, light wood hints, a bit of alcohol and a bit of yeast. Full-bodied. A good hearty ale but a bit too sweet for me.

Bottle. A really good Cru. Not nearly as overwhelming or as tart as Rodenbach. The pour and color are very much like a Quad, but lighter and thinner. Very heavy aroma of dried fruits, cherries, fig and molasses. The mouthfeel is excellent with the right balance of fizz and tartness. I get the chocolate hint on the aftertaste. Excellent. Would by this again.
