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.

330ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks 2009) - shared with mjs et al. - thanks!
Clear brown - amazingly no floaties - tiny head. Flowery, fruity, and slightly perfumy aroma. Clove, aniseed bitterness, deep and very spicy. A touch sweet, a touch young perhaps. Sweetness complemented by spices very well. Finish is beautifully hoppy. Covers 9.5% very well. Yeast from the bottom of the bottle didn’t change things much at all. Will probably be fantastic after maturing a little.

Very Tasty and warming but distracted by enormous chewy sediment. Flavor caramelized fig like and just as chewy.

Pours a dark reddish brown color with a lasting tan head. Malty, sweet aroma, chocolate, cocoa, some dark fruits. Great silky mouthfeel, sweet but not cloying, cocoa powder laced with cherries and candi sugar. Awesome.

Bottle, pours a ruby red color. Aroma has notes of yeast, spice and dark grape notes. A vinous taste with notes of fig, plum along with sugary notes of sour and dark fruit. Yeast is also noticeable. High carbonation with a slighlty dry finish. Very nice.

Pours a deep apple-juice color with some haze. Nice full head with noticeable carbonation in the bottle. Smells very fruity with undertones of malt. Has a very sweet flavor with a high amount of carbonation. Sits well in the mouth and has a very sweet thin finish. Definitely a darker, slightly roasty undertone happening at the back of the mouth.
