| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Last Unibroue of the night.
Looks nice, dak ale with a gorgeous creme coloured head. Thick head too.
Aroma however is pretty dumbed down..just faint malts and some even fanter spice.
Taste is not so bad actually goodish, strong malt and liquorice, aniseed follwed by a long smokey end very peppery.
Mouthfeel is alright maybe a tad thin but acceptable.
OK to drink actually the best of the 4 I had tonight.
Im still very let down by Unibroue.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2010 355ml bottle. Deep dark black in colour witha rich creamy latte coloured thick blanket of foam. Aromas of roasted chestnuts and burnt coffee with a hint of aniseed. Strong spiced fruit flavours come through with a long lasting and intense flavour. Another good beer from Unibroue. tympanic (55), Alabama, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | 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. vianney (14), Montreal, Quebec, Canada

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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 nuplastikk (1256), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. Sammer (37), Plano, Texas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | 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. lithy (1850), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 16, 2009 Dark brown-black, thin dark beige cover. Estery burnt caramel aroma, light cocoa, fruity. Taste is again clovey, fruity, spicy, apples, white wine, prunes, dried fruit. TheGent (170), , Massachusetts, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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.
