[1] 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?"

"The Abbaye de Rocs Brune is an awesome beer, so the bar was set very high for this one. It didn't disappoint. A dark reddish brown pour with a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was sweet dark malt, some brown sugar, and some dark fruit like plums. The flavour was amazing with a candy sweetness followed by a bitter finish. An excellent beer. "

"Ah yes.. One of my favorites from this day for sure. Thanks to pfoxyjohn for letting try this with him. Pours a dark super cloudy mahogany colour with a medium sized off white head. Tons of crap floating around this one and i loved it! It added an extra chewiness to this beer. Brown sugar and toffee were the most noticeable tasts to me with possibly a little fig in there as well. Aroma was delighftfully sweet and enticing. The body of this beer reminds me of my moms apple juice that she makes, with tons of apple stuff floating around."

"Aromas of sweet figs, cherries, dates, apple, and spices. Flavor is the same with all of those fruits showing, with the spices more pronounced, also caramel, nuts and an earthy taste showing as it warmed. Overall i prefer there brune but this is a pretty good beer thats worth a try."
