Abbaye des Rocs has full aromas of caramel, chocolate, pit fruit, and a suggestion of cellar mustiness. Luscious flavors interweaving caramel, chocolate, cherries, and a hint of coffee.

"Every now and again, a true beer lover will run into a beer of pure enlightenment or unabashed excellence.. ladies and gentlemen- this beer is one fine example!
..After trying 2 other offerings from this world class brewery I had high hopes with this brew and it didn't disappoint...
The aroma is first to blow you away!! --- complex is a word that loses its fight to describe the beauty of aromas coming from my chalice, dried fruits from all over, lots of berry, chocolate from those old fashioned metal tins, candied plum sugar, fruit rum- amazing stuff here
Pours a dark slightly murky ruby-brown colour with a hearty coco like head..and the lacing is truly A+...
now the harder part of my review, trying to pull all the crazy good flavours out of this beer, from the spectrum of wonderful sweet fruits to the delicious tangy bites of this amazing beer.. just so flavourful and complex!!
I can't say enough about this brew. I have only enjoyed a handful of beers that have blown me away so much.
A true joy to drink and experience! ....(Wishlist cross off originally from 3/22/2006)"

[3] Review by yngwie from Kristiansand, Norway who has tried this beer once. (12/27/2007 7:29:21 AM)
"Bottled at Delirium, Gothenburg. Light copper and off-white in colour. Fruity, grapefruit, caramel aroma. A round, complex taste of sweet caramel and fruits, with hints of yeast as well. Lots of candi-sugar taste, even though there is none in the beer. Well hidden alcohol. Slightly bitter at the end. A classic beer. (051008)"

[4] Review by Beav from Fort Collins, CO, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/27/2007 1:34:33 AM)
"750ml bottle. Pours a hazy copper brown with lots of huge yeast floaties. The head is large white and creamy with good retention and lacing.
The aroma is sugary caramel malts, figs and cherries and wood and alcohol.
The flavor is sugary caramel malts, tart cherries and some vinous alcohol. The mouthfeel is medium and velvety and slightly gelatinous due to the yeast globs.
Overall, a very fine Belgian. It's a little too much on the sweet and sugary side."

[5] Review by lenusik from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer once. (12/25/2007 4:49:42 PM)
"This beer pours a very dark brow with a huge rockey light brown coloured head that lasts and lasts. The aroma is very yeasty with some dark fruit hints like figs and plums. The flavour is very malty and bready. An excellent beer with everything going for it."
