Aged for about a year. Very deep brown in color, different dark fruits going on like plum, prune, and raisin with fig and nut. Somewhat spicy very smooth finish. Thanks to Boutip for a trade long ago.

Aroma, darf fruits, strong malt/caramel nose, some roast and forward notes of licorice.

Interesting and complex.

Apr 21, 2009 Bottled (from lahoublonnaire.be). Very dark brown colour with minor head. Aroma is raisins, some mild alcohol, spices, yeast, dark berries and licorice. Flavour is caramel malts, dark berries, some slight oak barrel, mild licorice and some slight alcohol. Gets better the warmer it gets. At room temperature very pleasant.

Jan 11, 2009 Dégusté avec french tickler le 18 mars 2007.
Drank in a tulip. Poor is dark brown with red highlights and a beige frothy head. Aromas of blackberries, lactose, very yeasty, wine barrels, cherries.... This one smells and tastes like a baby Trois-Pistoles. Very light and creamy mouthfeel, very similar to its blond cousin. Lightly carbonated. You can feel the alcohol at first then towards the end a less obvious sweet and bitter aftertaste.

Oct 12, 2008 Pours brown with a thin tan head. Smells fruity with some oaky hints. Weird. Tastes of brown sugar, molasses, plums.

Jan 12, 2008 Bottle-Pours deep chestnut brown with a frothy beige head. Nice retention here. Lots of dark fruit and spices in the nose, some candied sugar, earthy malts. Pretty sweet dark fruit flavours (plum, black cherry), nice hoppy taste mixed with spices and floral notes. Sweet and creamy in the finish. Good.

Nov 9, 2007 In short: A dry yeasty dark Belgian Ale. Ok.
How: Bottle, 6 months to 1 year old. Drank some 6 months ago (backlog)
The look: Dark brown body with a initially big beige head that quickly recedes to a thing layer of foam.
In long: The beer felt rather dry without being roasted. Dry toasted raisins and other dark fruits. Some spicy notes. Moderately sweet. Too much carbonation. Really not much to say about this one. Not bad at all but for a Unibroue Belgian Ale this is so-so. Irresistible? Yeah sure, my cousin Louis calls himself that too. And you know, it’s a good thing he has a functional right hand otherwise…
