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.

Yeast aroma with traces of sweet fruit. Hazy brown with debris in suspension. Full flavor that develops as it spreads across your palate plum, cherry, toffee and cream (yes cream!). Turns up at the finish with warm hints of spice and alcohol. A masterfully crafted beer - a true gem!

Pours a cloudy brown with quite a bit of sediment with 2 fingers of a light brown to tan head. Aroma of fruit, rasins, plums, spices, yeast and sugars. Taste on this one is quite nice, fruit, rasins, belgian yeast, malt, honey and spices all mingle together to form something wonderful. Delicious, gimme more of this brew. :)

Original Rating 1.6.08 (slightly drunk)

Pours a cloudy brown with a light brown head. Smells of faint fruit, raisins and plums and spices. Nice fruity taste with a little yeast and an excellent mouthfeel.

aroma is of strong caramel and some fruit. Almost thinking raisins. Lots of sediment in the glass after the pour. You can see it floating around when the glass is put up to the light. The taste is of caramel and fruit with a sweet after taste. Light carbonation makes this very smooth going down. Purchased at Bodega in LaCrosse, WI.

Poured a murky brown color into the trappist glass. There was an inch of fluffy white head and a slight lacing. There were pieces of sediment floating in the glass. Scents of cherries, malt, yeast and chcolate are apparent in the scent and in the taste. A dry, flavorful finish and nice mouthfeel contribute to an enjoyable Strong Ale.

Bottle: I really did not like this beer all that much - way too much fruit flavor. There is just too much going on. Aroma and taste of cherries, rainsin, molasses, caramel and other fruits. Also had too much pulp(?).

Brown in color with a decent head. Smells like a fruit bowl. Strong smell and alcoholic with some plums and raisins.
