BBT 2010 - Abbaye des Rocs

New day - new adventures. This day we travelled to the south of Belgium and our first stop was Abbaye des Rocs. No one seemed to know we were coming even though I had been in mail contact with them but they welcomed us for a detailed brewery tour and some tasting without hesitation. The language barrier was a major problem since none of us speak any real French and none of them speak any real English. Still it was very interesting and they patiently answered our attempts at questions so it was a really pleasant visit.
The brewery had a very rustic feeling to it and the dungeon-lift to the basement was a story in itself. A great start of day two.

Wheaty. A little mild but not wimpy at all, rather well-balanced. Notes of citrus. A good standard beer.

Very sweet. Dry but smooth in mouth and throat. Great taste but nothing special enough to reach a rating of 4.

Sweet and a little sour. Tastes a lot from coriander. A little dull but fully drinkable.

Licorice and vanilla. Pleasant round taste with hints of ginger. Very nice and very close to a rating of 5.
