A little tart compared to the typical Unibroue, it still had a good body, and pleasant taste. It went really well with the pulled pork sandwich at The Monks Kitchen in San Francisco.

Jan 1, 2010 Handsome, dark, foamy, and sweet -- although a little disappointing. I was expecting a bigger flavor from this "noire" Belgian style ale. Y’know... I gave it a "4" Palate rating, because I’m diggin’ the fizz from this 12 oz. bottle. I’m willing to try it again.

Dec 30, 2009 In bottle; typical Unibroue aroma of yeast (not a fan). Creamy dark beer and noticeable acidity. It was OK, but I was expecting much more from this beer. Not my favorite dark beer

Dec 29, 2009 Draft at The Haze. Opaque black color with a thick, solid off-white head. Creamy and mellowly carbonate, there is some underlying sweetness and Belgian yeastiness. Smooth and easy, Belgian Porter characteristics. Not my favorite Unibroue, but still quite sessionable and nice.

Dec 20, 2009 Midnight black pour from bottle. Typical Unibroue smell (what do they do to their beers that make almost all of them smell the same)?? Lightly smokey, toasted nutty taste. Smooth finish. Decent, not great, effort from an excellent brewery.

Dec 8, 2009 Updated: Dec 9, 2009Nice to see that Unibroue can do a good beer at a lower alcohol as well. This dark brown beer had a soft a refreshing palate. There was an aroma of slight sour apple , white grapes and some nice easy bitterness in the flavor department.

Nov 23, 2009 Bottle. Poured dark brown with a thick lasting medium brown head. Aroma was full of dark dried fruits as well as some dark malts. Flavor is similar to the aroma with a bit of an alcohol bite.
