750 ml bottle. A bit of a gusher when opening the bottle. Pours a cloudy brown with a moderate off-white head that lasted through mid-glass and left a layer of lace with each sip. Pleasant aroma of apples, yeast, and just a bit of sugar. The flavor is very nice with caramel, yeast, apples, and spice all present. Effervescent and lively on the palate. Overall a very good beer.

Poured a tan color with an effervecent white head. Real bubbly. The aroma is very malty and a little sour. The flavor is the same, pretty sour.

After two years of bottle age, this has matured perfectly. Sweet toffee and brown sugar aroma, pour is light brown hue with a solid beige head. Flavour is burnt sugar, ultra stewed fruits and long bitter finish. Mouthfeel is good with a creamy texure that implies vanilla that may or may not be there. At no point does this one let it out of the bag that it is 10%. Another well crafter Unibroue beer.

Had this as part of a Unibroue tasting dinner. Poured a deep amber with a thick head. Aromas of malt, oak, and alcohol. Taste is complex, fruity, and malty.

Thanks to kiefdog for the share. Pours caramel color with a strong sugary candy apple caramel aroma. Great sugary sweetness with a granny smith bite. Finishes sweet and sticks around. Incredibly smooth beer for not even 2 years old.

This is listed as retired but I was lucky enough to find it at the local beer store. There was a stamp on the bottle that said B2007 so I guess it was from 2007. Wonderful aroma and a beautiful pour. Nice foamy head. Great sweet flavor never reveals the alcohol hidden inside. Vanilla, sweet fruit, lots of stuff going on in there. Another fantastic beer from Unibroue.

750 bottle into Unibroue goblet. A hazy brownish orange pour. Muted sweetness in the aroma. Candi sugar and lots of spice initially in the flavor. Orange rind and lemon with with some bitterness at the end. Reminiscent of a tripel. Creamy and medium full mouthfeel. The Unibroue house flavor is definitely there but with enough variation to be pretty interesting. Probably would have been good for a few more years in the cellar.
