Jul 7, 2009 750 mL bottle from Pacific Liquor in North Park (San Diego, CA). Pours a dark amber color, bordering on brown. Three fingers of white head dissipates to a consistent one centimeter. Strong aroma of yeast also has musty/dusty, wood, and some spice -- an altogether "earthy" aroma. Flavor is very complex and has a lot going on including sweet caramel maltiness, various fruit flavors (berry, raisin), and nice spice. Great finish with notes of caramel and bittersweet chocolate. The flavor is very well balanced and any indication of alcohol is completely absent. Another excellent one from Unibroue!

does not count  Jun 24, 2009 I love Unibroue. About 10 years ago I was introduced to their beers and I fell in love. Not like a mother loves her child...it’s much more than this. At first they were not so easy to find but through the years they have been easier to locate. I was surprise to find them in our local Publix grocery store!

Jun 24, 2009 Pours rich red with a fluffy white head. Strong aromas of stone fruits; the flavor is very well balanced, fairly sweet, with flavors of fruit and malt. Slight dryness when cold builds into a pleasant sweetness. Excellent.

Jun 23, 2009 Pours a hazy orange brown with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malts with dry fruits. Flavors of caramel and roasted malts, with plum and raisins dry fruits. A dry sweet sour finish. A great and pleasant beer.

Jun 10, 2009 pretty spendy for a nice buzz, this beer is what many folk will call a real beer. I call it a real expensive way to get messed up at the expense of murdering you taste buds. This beer tastes fine at first but leaves a distinktly strange taste in your mouth. I would buy this beer again but not regularly due to price at $8 per bottle.

Jun 7, 2009 12 ounce bottle- pours orange/brown. Quite cloudy with a two finger head. Silky lacing. Nose- Spice, musty, caramel. Taste- strong house yeast character, thick caramel malt, candi sugar, plums and a touch of heat. Medium bodied but also spritzy cabonation which makes for a lively and entertaining brew. A classic from unibroue that still holds up.

Jun 5, 2009 Dark reddish brown more brown then red I guess, thick tan rocky head with great retention, sexy looking beer. The aroma is very complex; yeast, mild sourness, touch of alcohol, sweet berries that seem to turn into caramel and all this built on a wheat base, the sourness disappears and becomes sweet when beer warms. Sweet woody flavor with noticeable alcohol but this brew pulls it off, dark fruits and very wheaty, awesome Belgian brew. Medium bodied and bubbly in the mouth, yeast and wheat linger in the after taste. Tasty and drinkable, thank god this comes in a giant bottle so there’s a ton to enjoy, highly enjoyable beer, 17 thumbs up!!!"
