[1] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/2/2010 5:44:37 PM)
"11.2 oz bottle -
Aroma - amazing complexity of raisins and pitted fruit. The sweet aroma is simply amazing
Appearance - rootbeer brown body, chunks of something in there..kinda gross, 1" light brown soapy head
Taste - the complexity in the aroma is only the tip of the iceberg with this one. Dark fruits, molasses, Red Vines, honey, slightly peppery with what I though was sourness? Kinda reminded me of Duchese a little, but nowhwere near that level of acidicness
Palate - smooth, fully bodied, slightly sticky
Overall - If the beer was this good in a small bottle, I can’t imagine what it would be like out of something bigger. Just a fantastic beer that is well worth it’s status (the floaties are a bit of a suprise though). "

"My husband and I like the Abbayes des Rocs brune so we thought we would give this a try. Not as dark as the brune but stiull a dark brown colour. There was a lot of cherries and plums in the aroma and taste that shined through. I recommend this beer to everybody!"

"Pours fuzzy brown with a lilty head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor is sweet spice, dark fruit, and alcohol is noticeable. All around a nice beer, I like it!"

[4] Review by RJA from Palm Springs, FL, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/3/2009 5:13:32 PM)
"This one pours with a brownish color with reddish tinge thrown in. The head is moderate, off white, beige head. Frothy. Settles fairly quickly into a nice lacing. The Aroma is complex, some light roasted malt, dark fruits and grassy hops. The body is moderate to heavy. A moderately carbonated ale. The taste is sweet up front with a very subtle sourness on the after taste. There’s toffee and dark fruits in there. An impressively complex ale. ."

" had to wait, again, for the volcano to stop errupting before i could enjoy/pour the beer, so it got off on the wrong foot. once poured however, the beer looked inviting. aroma was of alcohol, brown sugar, molasses and plums. there was a raisiny sweetness in the taste, in addition to those present in the aroma. lots of dark fruit, and sweet breadiness, but nothing that blows you away. it took quite a bit of vigorous swirling to get the body smooth instead of overly carbonated. maybe my bottle was tainred, or maybe this beer is just a bit overated. who knows?"
