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. Pours a nice dark amber color with a decent off white head. Aroma of yeast, ripe fruit and malt. Taste of brown sugar, fruit and caramel. Starts out slightly sweet but quickly turns to a slight hoppyness. Finishes very smooth. This so far is my favorite Belgian Strong Ale. Excellent brew!

Bottle thanks to a trade with tjthresh. This was awesome, I’m pissed b/c it was a gusher and I probably lost and ounce or so. Pours a deep drown color with a nice white head. Aromas of fruits and spices, a little brown sugar, very yeasty. Aromas carry into the flavor, very balanced, little hop presence. Great mouthfeel and a smooth finish. Got to get me more of this.

Bottle says best before 2007, I have no idea how old that is. The bottle exploded everywhere. Pour is a hazy brown with offwhite head. Complex fruit, spice, and malt aroma. Flavors of fruit, caramel, sweet malt, spice, some chocolate and nutty flavors, and honey. I little bit to carbonated, but still very good.

I think at the GBBF? Anyhow, light spritzy, easy fruit. not too acidic. perhaps from the CO2? Healthfood fruit bar aromas.

This was an excellent find. Very Fruity aromas. The taste is where it really shines with fruit and brown sugar that coats the mouth and lasts a very long time. Awesome!

(07.16.06) One point 6 oz green bottle from Liquid solutions. 9.5% ABV. Ripened berries and hops in the nose. Poured hazy amber with giant off-white head. Soft carbonation. Medium-to-full bodied ale that starts with light malt sweetness and fruity (ripe plums)/caramel flavors. Some sharpness (carbonation) in the mouth. Finished with light malt sweetness and light hop bitterness. Smooth and rich-tasting. No funky earthiness or sourness. Just another awesome Belgium ale from Brasserie des rocs.

Bouteille de 33 cl. par HogTownHarry. Brun sale, assé bon collet avec un peu de levure dessu. Bon arrome de malte caramelisé avec un soupson d’épice. Goût délicieux de caramel doux avec un peu de fruit sûrette.
