PJClarke (609), London, Greater London, England Mar 18, 2009 A murky brown ale with hints of nicotine and a lively off-white head. It smells positively Belgian. All dark malts and plummy fruits; very sweet with hints of bitterness hidden deep within. Sweet and raisiny follow up in the mouth with lovely rich and intense fruits. A burnished malty glow. Warming and hearty. Thick, real thick and smooth too. I do like this. Tasty and complex. Dark and moody but easy going. It holds together well and leaves a warm boozy glow in the throat. malrubius (969), Valley Stream, New York, USA Mar 14, 2009 750ml bottle in Duvel glass. Reddish with lasting flat head. Candy sugar and red fruit and yeast aroma. Strong toasted candy sugar and fruit with mild bitter fruity finish. Medium body. Very sweet, overwhelming candy sugar cloying . Not my style, I guess. foundmd (163), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Mar 14, 2009 On tap at Dilly Deli. A light brown/orange color with a small head. Aroma of candied sugar with citrus and dark fruit. Taste is sweet and spicy with subtle alcohol. Lively carbonation is very pleasing to the palate. Another great brew from Unibroue that ranks with some of the best Belgians. meeple (52), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Mar 13, 2009 Bottle. Tea colored brown orange, medium ivory head. Spicy bread nose. A little thin, bready, clove, bit of caramel, fruit. A good Belgian, but doesn’t differentiate itself much from other Unibroue beers.
BrianDorry55 (117), Spring Hill, Florida, USA Mar 13, 2009 12oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors in Lutz, FL. Pours a copper color with a medium beige head. Aroma is orange, cocoa, and some alcohol coming through. Initial flavor is orange and caramel, then finishes with cocoa and a decent amount of alcohol. Medium mouthfeel and a bit sticky...but a great warming finish. Overall...this is a very solid belgian strong...I could drink a bunch of this...Perfect beer for sitting on the beach on a cool breezy night. Ramenen (453), San Salvador, El Salvador Mar 11, 2009 Thanks to rcasta. Drank it in Lago de Coatepeque. What a wonderful beer.....Pours burgundy with a nice tan head. Medium bodied, perfectly balanced, potent yet smooth to the palate almost silky. Not very malty or sweet, but dry. Excelente!!! TheGent (143), , Massachusetts, USA Mar 9, 2009 It has been awhile since I went for something from Unibrou due to the high cost but i put in for a four pack of this and know it is worth it, Clove and spice nose that gives into a citrus flowery taste. As always the extra fine unibroue texture and carbination makes this special. some alcohol and metal notes in the finish but they do not detract in the least bit. boFNjackson (1233), Portland, Oregon, USA Mar 8, 2009 Bottle... Poured a dark burgundy/brown with a white head. Aroma was a little tart with fruit and spiced malts. Lots of carbonation on the palate. Fruity flavors with smoked, dark malts, jelly or jam and maybe cloves. A little metallic character and a slight alcohol burn in the finish.
