Changed (52), Ithaca, New York, USA Jul 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours dark copper/caramel color. Absolutely beautiful lacing; looks like diamonds fizzling towards the liquid gold beneath. Head sticks around for a decent amount of time. Dark fruits aroma, malty tastes and nicely balanced hops. Nice finish. Very enjoyable beer. LyndaNova (464), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Jul 2, 2008 Cold 750ml corked bottle: Pours a clear dark copper color with some sediment and a quickly gone small fizzy alabaster head. Aroma is of rich malt, sharp yeast, dark fruit (cherries) and some light earth notes. Taste is of rich malt and sharp yeast well blended with lightly earthy hops. Some sour notes in the middle. Light to medium bodied and crisp with high carbonation. Ending is of sweet malt into cherries. Yum! :) nycegrrl138 (3), , Illinois, USA does not count Jul 2, 2008 My fav of the Unibroue - tastes way better in Canada but still damned good in the States. Definately has that fruity/yeasty taste, similar to Fin du Monde but this has a bit more kick. Yum! Gypsy19 (144), AMERICA RISING, USA Jun 28, 2008 Pours an orange-brown with a large head that recedes rather slowly, thus guaranteeing the drinker a foam moustache. In any event, this is another very good Belgian from Unibroue which, so far can seemingly do no wrong. Though a little watery compared to other Belgian Strong Ales, it has a full array of honey, brown sugar, a pinch of citrus, and some dark berry. Recommended. Skyview (2637), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Jun 28, 2008 Sampled during Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening tasting via Unibroue representative. Pours a hazy dark brown amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some roasted nuts, yeast and dried dark fruits. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of multi-grain malt, some extra yeast, dark fruits and a touch of spice. Finish is semi-dry with a malty grain aftertaste that has a second finish of tart berries and yeast. A multi-personality Belgian Ale best describes this beer.
