Cloudy golden color; creamy head. Nice malty aroma, with some hop and spices. Very good taste, which combines the maltiness, quite sweet in the front, to the late bitterness. Aromatic and spicy. Good, as always by Abbaye des Rocs.

Hazy golden color. Balanced Belgian Ale, well brewed, everything is in the average, with a quite evident spicy character; ends quite dry.

Poured a hazy copper-red with tons of rather nasty-looking yeast "floaties" and a dense, puffy light tan head. Very perfumey aroma with pepper and anise; the combination is reminiscent of a Saison. Perfumey notes are carried over into the flavor as are licorice and pepper. The body is floral and spicy, with a somewhat muddled fruitiness and leathery quality. Ethanol and apple peel finish the beer on a somewhat bitter note. This was certainly not what I expected, and a bit disappointing following the great Midnight Sun La Maitresse du Moine.

Dark hazy red color. Huge brown foamy steady head. Aroma is quite close to "standard" Abbaye des Rocs: sweet, alcoholic, prunes, yeast. Taste is earthy, woody, dry and sweet. Very close to normal Abbaye des Rocs totally.

Dark copper brown. Brown/beige head, which stays forever. Aroma is fruity, even parfumic: very unique. Taste is leather and malts. Smells better than tastes!

[Draft at ZBF 2004] A clear yellow beer with a fine disappearing though lazing head. The aroma is sweet spicy. The flavor is sweet oranges with hints of alcohol. The end is dry with notes of corriander and hops.

(Draught) Hazy amber beer; yellowish head. Smells a bit green, aromatic but no hops, yeasty and a touch spicey. Bitter taste as from bitter almonds - maybe vegetable bitter too (Brussels' endives or suchlike). Not very distinctive. Sticky mouthfeel. Aftertaste becomes sweet, even cloying with a bitterness more remindful of scorched sugar. It's definitely sweet, and not my cup of, euh, beer.

Fizzy, light brown head, which is fairly lacing and mostly lasting. Hazy brown body. Malty aroma. Lightly sweet and moderately bitter initial flavour. Lightly sweet and moderately bitter finish, average long. Oily texture, soft mouthfeel. Great by it's simplicity.

(Draught) Orange-hazy; yellowish head. Citrus, slight nutmeg in the nose. Taste is spicey - bitterish; again nutmeg or galanga, coriander. Quite some malt underneath, but spices reign. Medium to well-bodied. Reminds me a lot of Montagnarde Altitude 6. Not bad, but not spectacular.

Cloudy amber body. A dense concentration of small yeast-particles in the body. White frothy head, fully diminishing and virtually not lacing. You can smell the aroma when pourring it out. Hoppy (pine-orange) aroma and also some yoghurt in the aroma. Heavily acidic and lighlty bitter initial flavour. Moderately acidic and moderately bitter (long) finish. You can also sometimes feel the yeast-particles, slipping trough your lips. Oily texture, lively and moderately alcoholic mouthfeel.
