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.

From 11.2 oz bottle- poured semi-transparent caliginous brown, an average lacing head. Aroma of nuts, malt, alcohol, and fruit- reminds me of a wine mash that is still fermenting. Hits the mouth with some carbonation, malt, a very small amount of hops, alcohol noticeable on the finish. Kind of let down.

750ml bottle, new at Specs. Pours a dark, murky (muddy) color sorta like aple cider. Half-finger tan head. Aroma is like rubbing alcohol and band-aids. Seriously though it does have a winelike alcohol smell with some apple and sweet bread. Taste is definitely Belgian ale with some apple and sweetness. Full mouthfeel with some carbonation. Sourness in the aftertaste. Definitely a nice-tasting beer.

750 BBD of 2009. Sweet, red brown fruit and malt fest. Little head, quickly dissipates. Very full bodied, good biitterness in the finish. Lots of figs/raisins. A very enjoable brew, especially while watching the waves crash up on Amelia Island, Fl.

Pours reddish brown with medium head. Malty aroma with good amount of spices and toffee. Flavor has plums, raisins, toffee and cinnamon. Quite complex, vinious and finishes of with alcohol touch. Very nice.

Poured a deep, hazy brown with a big, lasting head. Smelled of apples, malt, caramel, hint of alcohol. Flavor was similar, not overly-sweet. Texture was the only real negative: lots of solid floating that wouldn’t settle out.

Poured out of a 12oz bottle. Nice amber color. Fruity aromas, some raisin and other dark fruits. Taste is slightly nutty, typical belgain sweetness, raisins again, great flavor but still drinkable. Nice carbonation, reminds me a little of a champage mouthfeel. Nice beer overall.

Muddy ice tea color with thin tan head...nice lacing. Raisin, plum and cherry nose. Flavor is predominantely raisins, with sweet malts and brown sugar in the backdrop. Medium bodied with nice carbonation and pleasing finish.
