Oct 9, 2007 Bottle:
Clouded ruby amber with a smallish cap.
Sweetness dominates aroma...figs demarara, some floral hops, fusel alcohol...pretty standard UniBroue nose.
Thick demerara-molasses-fig tastes. floral hops, rich, musty yeast discernment and long warming alcoholic finish steeped in sweet dried fruit tastes...a tad rough and alcoholic...needs work or aging.
Pretty standard...Unibroue really have to worry about these special brews rating no better than other standard U-ales....lack of creativity, sameness and I’m sad to say over priced for what you get.

Oct 5, 2007 Nice head; cloudy and deep amber. Smelled wonderful. Fresh, with light fruits and just-baked bread. Fitting carbonation; thickish body; cobweby and a bit cloying. Very rich malts. Sweet and toffee-like up front; toastier and grainier toward the finish. Warming alcohol surfaces in the aftertaste. Pleasant, wholesome, earthy beer, with a good bit of alcohol bite to boot.

Oct 5, 2007 75 cl corked bottle
Hazy pale brown/orange colour. Big, thick head. Aroma has notes of bananas, oranges, cinnamon and yeast. Flavour is quite sweet with notes of dark berries, anise and a little bit of liquorice. The finish has some alcohol flavour but it doesn’t get disturbing. This beer is probably meant to be cellared but I think it’s damn tasty right now.

Oct 5, 2007 75 cL bottle, thanks to joergen. Pours hazy orange with a white head leaving nice curtains. Dried roasted malt and slight dried fruit and a slight malty aroma. Flavour is mellow, slight sweet but most of all spiced with a spice I cannot make out. Not too good to be honest.

Oct 2, 2007 Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of over ripe fruits as well as some fresh fruit, on a malty back ground. The flavor is sweet with notes of over ripe fruits, alcohol, and fresh peaches.

Oct 2, 2007 (Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Hazy, amber golden with an off-white head leaving some laces. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Full-bodied, sweetish caramel and plenty of brown sugar. Appears a little tired. I really wish that Unibroue would renew themselves instead of putting out a seemingly endless row of yeasty, over carbonated and uninspired Belgian strongs. This is becoming a little tedious. 280907
