Dec 14, 2009 Dark amber/brown color, light brown head. Very complex aroma: malty, fruity and a bit spicy. Alchoolic.
A wonderful sweetness with a nice carbonation. Medium to full body.
Just a bit of bitter in the end balances the taste. Cannot find wrong points in this beer. A must to drink in my opinion.

Dec 12, 2009 Pours a burnt red with a modest amount of carbonation and a creamy white head. This bear possesses an interesting variety of flavors and aromas. There is a prominent aroma of malt with some underlying notes of hops and prunes. The taste is an interesting blend of malt, yeast, and noticeable banana. The brew is moderately thick and there is an unctuous residual flavor that is left on the palate.

Dec 5, 2009 Caramel, nuts, and toasted bread on the nose. This beer poured a phenomenal brown color with amazing lacing and head retention. It has TONS of floaties and just seeing this beer made me even thirstier. Don’t even get me started on the taste...superior craftsmanship with sweet, caramel, clove, and general amazingness. Smooth on the palate and sweet after taste. Overall this is hands down the best brown ale I’ve ever had.

Dec 3, 2009 Small bottle 2008 vintage. Muddy brown pour with thin white head. Buttery, nutty, sweet aromas. Some caramel toffey flavors, more hazelnuts. Nice sugars. Rich creamy full mouthfeel. Best bottle of this I’ve had so far.

Dec 3, 2009 I really enjoy this. This is the first one that I’ve had that’s not a gusher and it is much better than the others (all of the same 4 pack). Excellent spiced cake and candied fruit smell with some musty barn in the back. Flavor is like brown sugar spiked with rum soaked citrus peel with the lack of carbonation in this particular bottle helping me pick up better flavors. For how rich it is, it finishes very light and refreshing. Great brew that hits a whole lot of spots. Thank You Abbaye de Rocs. 2009 12oz.

Nov 28, 2009 Bottle - 33cl. A serious, lively beer. You can’t open it enough safely to prevent the explosion. Pours hazy, brownish, ruby red color with a long life beige head. It’s the same explosion in the aromas. Alcoholic figs, prunes, caramelized malts with a hint of cognac character. Its very sweet and bold, malty in flavors but not overwhelming, very natural and you can feel there is no sugar added actually. Finishes too abruptly, just leaves a
medium sweet liquorice or molasses feel in the tounge. A bit of alcohol is sensible at the medium. Could be a lot more smooth on the palate with more subtle carbonation. A rich and enjoyable dark-brown ale with some detph but doesn’t seem too unique in flavors to me at this time.

Nov 23, 2009 Bouteille de 750 ml, au Bières et Bouffe. Arômes fruités (fruits rouges, pruneaux). Robe rousse foncée, beaucoup de particules en suspension, effervescence moyenne. Bien ronde en bouche, la bière montre une belle complexité de malt (caramel, chocolat) et de fortes notes fruitées (fruits rouge, pruneaux). Finale relativement alcoolisée. Rappelle vaguement la Dominus Vobiscum Double de Charlevoix.

Nov 23, 2009 Pours a lovely ruby with a thin ring of pure white and no lace. Heavenly aroma - yum yum yum! So sweet - cherries and sherry and everything sweet and wonderful. Vanilla, raisin, cherry, and sweet malt taste - lingering fruitiness. Very tasty! Thin and undercarbonated, but who the hell cares? Fantastic tasting, I could drink this forever. Sweet and fruity and dangerously quaffable.
