| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 11, 2008 Pours an amber-brown with noticeable sediment and a bubbly off-white head that persists and leaves thin lacing. A sour-fruit aroma with some spicy notes. Crisp, bright, very carbonated with a light mouthfeel. Spicy start with some sweet, fruity flavors, something like apricot, amd a slightly sour finish with a lingering aftertaste. Habanero (617), Tranbjerg, Denmark

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2008 355ml bottle, BB 24-07-09. Pours a murky bronze body with big dense offwhite foam. Distintive spicy nose that seems commonplace with these Unibroue beers, but with a bit more to it; brown sugar, sour apple, blackberry, cherry, plum, clove, cinamon, raisin, pepper, alcohol, very complex. Carbonation is a bit low, syrupy sort of body, has some tartness about it with alcohol making itself present on the finish. Body reflects the nose, spicy dark and dried fruits, some vanilla and bread, sweetened with a dark brown sugar element. Quite a different from any Belgian-style strong ales i’ve tried, particularly tart and spicy for a darker beer, yet intriguingly tasty. UnsofistaCat (222), Garden City, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2008 Nice looking beer. Copper in color with creamy white head that remains the whole time. Not much of a nose, other then some brown sugar. Some classic ripened fruits that I tend to taste in this kind of beer. Little bit of vanilla on the back end followed by a touch of sourness. And then things go not so good. The beer ends too crisp and dry in my opinion. The end of my gulps taste like, or I should say, feel like green bottle lager. riversideAK (2664), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2008 Tap. Copper pour with a big head that ended up leaving me rather quickly. The aroma a mixture of darker fruity malts and lots of yeasty spice. Much of the same in the flavor. Dark fruits like cherries, dates, plums and the like, as well as lots of spicy yeast and a little alcohol. Light lingering yeast and fruit, but it seemed rather clean really. Pleasant stuff.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2008 ...bottle from Cloudwine. DIdn’t expect this brew to be so good, and the label desigh was badass. Color was a cloudy coppery brown, with a small off-white head, that wasn’t lasting, but who cares. On the nose, it was pleasant fruit aromas like cherries, grapes, some apple, spices, and yeast. Mouthfeel was medium bodied, with nice complex, malty\yeasty\fruity flavors. Alcohol was well hidden, and almost non-existant. Strong yeasty finish, which I find a strong point in these types of beers, with lingering fruit flavors, and slight bitterness that make you want more. Impressive.
