Abbaye des Rocs Triple Impériale

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

Pours a deep reddish brown with a nice creamy head. Aroma is has elements of fruit and malt. Nice malty flavor with a bit of spice and fruit with a flavorful finish.

Pours a reddish brown with a medium head that quickly reduces in size. The taste is sugar, alcohol, and dried fruit. There is a strong, warming finish.

Pours out a little head that falls into a very thin head that’s almost gone. Very weak lacing that’s barely noticeable. Smell is very sugary, like caramel. Kinda nice. The taste is very sweet, with dark fruit undertones. Mouthfeel is just fine, pretty good. I would drink this again, but it seems like I would like a newer beer and it would be even better.

Bottled. Deep ruby red colour, small off-white head. Aroma is caramel yeast, alcohol and slightly glueish. Flavour is alcohol, raisins, fruits and mildly glueish notes. Wellbalanced. The aftertaste leaves a lot of fruits and raisins.

(Bottled) Very hazy dark brown with a small, but lasting head. Lots of dark and dried fruit in the aroma with some malty sweetness. Grainy-malty, very dark-fruity flavor with bitterish hops and roastiness. Almost full-bodied with smooth carbonation. An enjoyable, lighter, yet a bit too sweet version of the regular Abbaye des Rocs. Doesn’t change much with yeast.

Just like their Grand Cru, the glass is filled with suspended particulates that just don’t settle. Active micro-bubble carbonation percolates upward, but the yeast particles just sit there. The head is massive and puffy, fading slowly to a tan film. The nose is very sugary, with candied orange, toffee, figs, plum, corriander and pear. Hardly any booze is detectable in the aroma. The flavour is insanely sweet and yeasty, with that bubblegum yeast, caramel and bouquet of fruits and herbal hops. Very nice velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel with gentle carbonation. The finish is not-so-dry and leaves a lingering candied fruits and well-hidden alcohol that is noticable only as a warming of the throat. Another dangerously strong ale.

This beer was dumped into a trappist glass and foams right up with a thick head that was reall sudsy looking. It has a redish brown color with massive suspended particulate matter with what looked like a ferris whell as the matter was swirling in a circular motion in the center of the glass, The aroma is nice and sweet with fruity malt and lots of cherry and mild hops. As you drink it you can feel the tingle of the particulate rush over your lips into your mouth. There is that nice initial bitterness with malt and cherry and the presance of booze. I personally enjoy the warming swet finish it has along the sides of my mouth.

Pours a darker amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of dark fruits, caramel malts, candied sugar, and some alcohol. Flavor is pretty sweet with the candied sugar and dark fruits. Finishes with a decent alcohol warming. A pretty delicious brew.
