Jun 13, 2008 smell is sweet and it looks very cloudy and red. taste is sort of wheat like, dry and quite a bit of alcohol taste. creamy and smooth, not very heavy. its a good deal i n 750ml bottle because it seems to be way more available than fin du monde and trois pistoles in that size, which are nicer and higher %

Jun 12, 2008 This Canadian brewery really knows how to do it right. The aroma is truly Belgian...Bananas, yeast, spice. Nice. Flavor is malty and creamy and just great. Kudos again to Unibroue.

Jun 12, 2008 Big ol’ head releases wonderful aroma of yeast, cloves...maybe some banana. Taste is surprisingly crisp up front, but eventually yields to sweet maltiness and warm alcohol. Wonderfully drinkable, especially at 8% abv.

Jun 10, 2008 Mammoth off-white pillowey head that rivals Duval in intensity and staying power. Lacing is not as good as I was expecting. Dark honey-amber color similar to maple syrup.
Distinctive Belgian yeast aroma. Some coriander, clove, allspice, but not overpowering. Sweet malts.
Delicious flavor. Similar to aroma, some hints of bubblegum, some alcoholic bitterness, fruity, sweet malt, very well balanced.
Smooth, not overly thick mouthfeel, especially given the high ABV. LIghtly carbonated. Warming on the way down.
Excellent brew from Unibroue. Very drinkable, and especially good with my dinner tonight, which is a spinach salad with grilled chicken, mandarin oranges, bleu cheese and Makoto Ginger dressing. Highly recommended.

Jun 9, 2008 12 oz bottle thanks to Mike for bringing a four pack to enjoy while screaming at Big Brown to "run faster you idiot". Aromas of yeast dough, malt. Flavors of appricot and bread. Good stuff!

Jun 7, 2008 Corked bomber poured hazy reddish brown - the color of wood stain - with a generous three finger head that lasted a long time and left nice lacing. Bread and yeast are evident in the smell, which included some spice and fruit. I’m not usually impressed by the way a beer smells, but these aromas seemed complex and well balanced. Malt and fruit up front - with the fruit better defined as apples and cherries. A bit of black pepper and tartness (but not sour)as well, and mild hop bitterness to round it out. Medium bodied, lively carbonation and a very pleasant aftertaste. Great beer.

Jun 6, 2008 Bottled. Huge aroma of fruity portwine. Taste a bit less, very bubbly, finish is better than the initial, soapy flavour. Looks good.
Tripplebrew (486), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
Jun 5, 2008 Pours a copper amber with very light tan colored head that dissipates to a thin layer. Aroma is dried fruit with definite sweet honey notes. Flavor is yeast/malts with sugar. Aftertaste almost has a sour note. Body is medium with quite a bit of carbonation. Could almost go a little less on the carbonation levels.
