Dec 18, 2007 Another fine offering from Unibroue. Deep brown with a fluffy white head. Sweet aroma of malt, dark fruit, spices, and Belgian yeast. Bright and lively palate. Chocolate and vanilla tastes linger behind a robust citrus and mixed fruit flavor and finishes with notes of coriander, cinnamon, and nutmeg with minor alcoholic warmth in the back of the throat.

does not count  Mar 15, 2008 Good body. Nice head. Malt flavor balances well against a citrus flavor. Great Trader’s product and price produced brewed by Unibroue.

does not count Mar 15, 2008 First off, this is definitely a beer to savor. I picked this up at Trader Joe’s after getting a bit curious about the different smaller beers they had. I saw the Vintage Ale’s huge bottle and decided that if anything I’d at least get kind of buzzed. Ended up pleasantly surprised by this ale, and have told all my friends about it.

Jan 22, 2008 Pours dark brown with a creamy, white, fine head. Aroma is yeasty with qualities of vanilla and banana. Mouth feel is light-moderate. Flavor is dark fruits, raisins, vanilla, spices, and flowers.

Jan 19, 2008 aroma: comes out as soon as the cork is popped. Definite raisons, spice, dates, and other dried fruit. pours dark brown with generous abouts of white head, and plenty of carbonation. Beer pours mostly clear. Flavor is fruity, raison, dates, with some spice. Carbonation is ample and tickles the tongue, bringing the spice and fruitiness of the yeast character more alive. Really good dubbel.
