Rustyham (545), miami, Florida, USA Jan 19, 2009 Very delicious impersonation of a Belgian brew, but much smoother. Great beer to share with friends, for it is slightly cheaper. Better to purchase in a four pack for that reason, Good Belgians don’t come in that pairing. Tastes primarily of spices, some cherry, warming but still delightfully passive. Not much of a lingering aftertaste. No head but nice lacing. floydian1 (255), FNQ, Australia Jan 18, 2009 Updated: Jan 19, 2009A gift pack of 3 Unibroue beers is now finally widely available in Australia through First Choice liquor stores. Corked 750ml bottle into Trappist glass. A hazy copper brown ale with an ample dense biege head. Warming aromas of caramel roasted nuts and oranges. Tastes similar with a nice spicy finish and a gentle lingering bitterness. Smooth creamy mouthfeel that goes down very easily. On a par with some of the Belgium Trappist ales. Gary (352), Buckinghamshire, England Jan 17, 2009 . Ive got more bottles.I’ll do a more reflective review or some shit . But this is an excellent Belgian style ale. I found this rich, malty and aromatic. Burnt fruit esters. Dogg , I must locate a case of 750mls. Agaguk (117), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jan 13, 2009 2007-03 Bottle. Reddish brown (mahogany) appearence with a light offwhite head. Aroma: flowers, lemon, orange zest, alcohol (vodka) and bananas. Flavor: coriander, banana, pepper, orange zest and alcohol. Palate: medium body, average carbonation and ends with a chalky taste. Cole (264), , Alberta, Canada Jan 12, 2009 From 750ml bottle. Great aroma, citrus fruit cloves, malt. Rich deep brown colour. Flavors of yeast, cloves, banana, and citrus fruit, a little spicy and at 8% this is a fantastic beer. ditmier (1017), Boise, Idaho, USA Jan 12, 2009 2008 Bottle - Pours dk aopaque amber with a large light brown head...aroma is very spicy, caramel malt and fresh fruit...it feels good in the mouth, very fine carbonation, malty but not sticky...there is persistent lactic quality throughout...very warming... whatalesya (20), , North Carolina, USA Jan 11, 2009 Poured a very thick (2” plus) off white head. Translucent dark amber brown (mahogany). Floral/fruit aromatics in the nose. Medium bodied. A strong spice/acidic grapefruit and ginger taste (and clove??) with a noticeable hop bitterness that balances the flavors. Almost like a fine wine or cognac in taste. Alcohol is only slightly noticed. Somewhat dry, sticky finish with a lingering, slight sweetness. Not a favorite but a good change of pace. grandgenie (252), gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jan 11, 2009 Dégusté dans le verre de la maudite, bière d’édition 2008 en forma 371 ml. Apparence brun ambré foncé avec une fine couche de mousse démarquant bien chaque levé du coude. Odeur de caramel, muscade, sucre brun un peu de mélasse et de fûmé de bois de santal. Une pointe de canelle, d’orange et estragon. Un goût complexe de sucré, de salé, de fruité et d’amertume. Un liquide avec un potentiel de vieillissement exceptionnel axé sur le floral. Il sera très interressant dans déguster les subtilités de divers millésimes.
