Dec 19, 2009 aroma is bananas and apricots with a doughy yeast smell. Thick, foamy white head. Cloudy amber in color. Thick mouthfeel. Flavor is bitter dark fruits. Too bitter for my taste.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottled (thanks omhper!). Amber colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is spices, caramel malts, sugary and mild alcohol. Flavour is rather sweet sugar, some mild spices, and yeast and some nectar. Rather sweet, but also shows a more wooden side that probably has come with aging this beauty.

Dec 14, 2009 Pours hazy golden with a large frothy tan colored head. Lemon, pear and clove in the aroma. Taste is initially a bit sour but quickly becomes heavy sweet and light bitter. Medium to full bodied. Syrupy. Alcoholic finish.

Dec 11, 2009 750ml brown bottle, corked. Hazy honey gold colour. Head is creamy, dense, some good lacing left behind. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavour is sweet, honey malts, some yeast spiciness. Some lingering Uni house yeast dries out the finish. Medium to high carbonation, medium body. No sign of that 10% alcohol, quite tasty, though somehow familiar.

Nov 23, 2009 Picked this baby up to go from Churchill’s Pub ($12). Was surprised to see this still around. Pours reddish brown with one finger of creamy off-white head. Aroma of yeast as is typical of most all Unibroue beers along with some lovely bready malts, caramel, and dark fruit (cherry). Flavors of sweet caramel and fruits -- cherry, raisin, pear. Lightly sweet and dry finish, good carbonation, concealed alcohol. Not sure how this was when it was released, but it’s quite good after two years. (187, 479)

Oct 24, 2009 Updated: Oct 29, 2009Bottle from late 2007 opened October 2009. Thick reddish-brown with a solid thick head. Aroma has some alcohol in it, and shows it’s a little of course, but also has a very nice dark cherry touch. In some ways I think the aging has really worked well for this one, and I haven’t thought the other Anniversary beers were so impressive in that respect. Sweet, with a tangy yeast and alcohol laced taste. Soft bubbly mouthfeel. Quite an awesome beer.
