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 Holiday Wine Cellar. Pours a amber brown color, which reminds me of an ESB. Super nice aroma of belgian yeasts and fruits. Amazing complexity in both the palate and flavors. Lots of fruits and malts going on. Really good.

Bottle. Strong sweet fruity and malty aroma. Yeast is noticable. Amber brown color with fluffy tan head. Sweet malty yeasty flavor. Slight sour cheese taste that is suprisingly pleasant. Cherries and dried fruity notes. Palate is creamy and rich. Very good overall.

spiced fruit and floral aroma. light on the palate and very complex. The alcohol is pretty well hidden until the end, when there’s a slight burn coupled with hoppy bitterness. Very nice strong ale.

Apples, wood, and spices are immediately apparent. Almost too sweet, this hampers the beer a little throughout the tasting. This ale offers a special flavor..

Bottled. Tulip. Wow, after pouring there is beauty in my glass. A very evenly hazy amber-orange color with a fluffy beige head. Lovely aroma of sweet malts, banana and tropical fruit. Flavor is very fruity, sweet, malty with tons of floral notes. Honey, caramel... so complex and well spiced. Mouthfeel is smooth, thick and round. Perfect carbonation. I love this beer.

Bottle - a beautiful crimson/amber color with a beige head. Tons of huge floaties. A big spicy/yeasty nose. The flavor matches the aroma. Sharp, fizzy mouthfeel. Good, but I’m not loving it.
