I will need to revist this one for a full rating
MatSciGuy (629), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA Oct 26, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a cloudy caramel with a large soapy off white head. Aroma is some hops, malt, and raisins. Flavor is similar to the aroma with some citric fruits. Light and thinnish mouthfeel. Snojerk321 (1917), San Diego, California, USA Oct 25, 2008 750ml bottle from bevmo mission valley. Brew pours a hazy, deep rusted amber color with a 2 finger beige head. Tons of malt and spice on the nose, with the flavor being much of the same , medium/full bodied beer. PaulHegedus (458), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Oct 23, 2008 750ml bottle. The Canadian classic. This is THE beer that got me into beer. Not surprising: it is possibly the most well distributed beer with complex flavour in Ontario, and this was especially true many years ago. The label is wonderful, with the legendary flying canoe. After tasting this, I had to try every Unibroue offering I could get my hands on. Pours dark red, amber with a large, aromatic head. The aroma is wonderfully dense, spicy with a whole assortment of fruit, especially dark, ripe grapes, cherry, apple and some orange zest. I taste apple too, spices, pepper, clove, caramel in the malt. Engagingly complex. The mouthfeel in this bottle is a bit on the watery side for my liking. Substitute Maudite for beef broth for a great cold weather stew.
750ml bottle, aged 6 months. I’m impressed with the change in flavour. Aroma of cinnamon, cherry, dark grape. The flavour is darker: first grape, then milk chocolate, spices. Still a healthy head on this one, but smaller than expected. Hank1980 (734), Athens, Georgia, USA Oct 23, 2008 On tap at Trappeze. Poured amber and cloudy with nice beige head. Aroma of fruit, caramel, yeast, light spice. Taste is sweet caramel, yeast, fruit, light hops. Very nice, like a dubbel or quad. Finshed smooth. Very well balanced. Glad this was on tap. Svesse (2597), Hässelby, Sweden Oct 20, 2008 (Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, dried fruit and orange peel. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, dark fruit, wild berries and spicy hops in the finish. Balanced sweetness. A nice shot at the style. In short: spicy caramel. DrSamPHD (60), Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA Oct 20, 2008 Poured an amber gold color with a decently sized frothy head. A sweet smell with fruit and yeast coming through. Sweet taste, a lot going on with the taste, toffee and caramel come to mind. Alcohol coming through a bit also. Great beer, very refreshing and balanced. chicagodri (1020), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 19, 2008 Pours a brown/amber. Nice spicy aroma. Nice yeast aroma and flavor. It is very well balanced and there is some caramel in there as well. Good flavor, I liked it.
