Abbaye des Rocs Triple Impériale

Brewed by Brasserie de l’Abbaye des Rocs
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Montignies-sur-Roc, Belgium

Do yourself a favor and if you see this beer, buy it and drink it. This is my personal Holy Grail of beers. Everyone will have something that really does it for them and this is mine. Honestly, this is almost entirely about the taste. It doesn’t pour particularly well, and there’s always sediment floating around. Not a particularly great head to it, usually small if poured correctly. Now to the flavor - wow. There’s nothing else to say. Now, to be fair, I like sweet. Honey, fruit, candy, no noticeable bitterness and the alcohol is very well hidden. Certainly not a quantity beer, but a fine choice when you’re looking for something special.

Pours burnt caramel brown with a halo of a tan head. Nose is dark fruits and caramel. The flavor is quite the same with a lot of ripe fruits. Smooth on the palate and clean finish.

Alcohol is almost unnoticable, not a repeat, not a favorite, low value, medium craft. 16 out of 20.

Pours a hazy amber with tan head. Aroma is heavy sweet nuts and fruit. Flavor is candied sugar and malts. Very sweet. Body is creamy and carbonation is fair.

Amber/brown pour, huge white head, and huge amounts of lacing. Aroma is of apples, candied sugar, yeast. Flavor is of a typical Belgian Strong Ale - dark fruits, candied sugar, bread/cookie, and almost no bitterness. Great brew.

Bottle from Whole Foods. Hazy dark brownish in color. Sweet candied dark fruit aroma. Some banana in the nose as well. Sweet flavors. Some roastiness and spices. Dark fruits and yeast. Alcohol is well hidden.

Ruby-Mahogany with a large, yellowish, foamy head. Yeast sediment throughout the beer. Nose is quite a blend: very sweet with yeast, fruity jelly, caramel, some spice (possibly a little pepper). Sweet, fruity flavor, malts and yeast the dominant forces. Palate is a little foamy and too carbonated, but long lasting. A nice beer, perhaps best for desert.

Bottle: Hazy red colour, with a nice head. Aroma of sournes,citrus ,fruity,some yesatynes too. Flavor is fruity mouth feeling, nice medium body,medium fruity/citric finish.
