Weedking4 (33), Stratford, Ontario, Canada Sep 22, 2009 12oz bottle. How the hell is this 8%? Baffling. Pours a very dark brown. Well it was dark in the room, so I think it was dark brown. No hint of the alc.% all, so damn easy to drink. Solid brew overall. Didn’t have that wine taste I recongized in the Trois Pistols or La Fin Du Monde. Would definately drink this again. scoth (266), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Sep 22, 2009 Pours cloudy chestnut brown, medium beige head, with fine lasting lacing. Rich aroma of toast, plum, toffee, grass, and leather. Medium-full body, zesty. Big, complex, rich malt flavors, toast, plum, grape, banana, some spice, and citrus. Mild grassy finish. Pleasantly sweet but balanced. Similar in flavor and style to a double, but stronger. PolishHammer (64), , Connecticut, USA Sep 21, 2009 A really nice trappist strong ale, and a fantastic value! Dark red and amber colored beer with a beige head. Aroma and flavor match what a strong ale should...dark ripe stone fruits and burnt sugar. Perfect amount of alcohol warmth. decimator (41), Ontario, Canada Sep 19, 2009 Updated: Sep 20, 2009750ml bottle poured in a pint glass.Poured a cloudy golden brown color with a big bubbly off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, toasts, fruits and some herbs & spices. Complex flavor yet not overpowering. Toasted malts up front with a bitter hop & alcohol finish. There’s also notes of fruits, herbs, spices and a faint hint of dark chocolate. Mouthfeel is rustic but pleasant. Tangy carbonation and creamy. It’s flavor makes this one more of a slow sipping experience. It’s more abrasive and less polished then "La fin du monde" or "Trois pistole" but still a really good beer. williamherbert (461), Syracuse, New York, USA Sep 18, 2009 In a tulip glass... Sugary plum aroma, with red wine grapes. A mild spicy Belgian funk. Fruity and dark.
The appearance is dark, reddish and mahogany. Head disappears quickly. Cloudy and rich color.
The flavor is a combination of dark, sweet grapes and stone fruits. The Dubbel-ish Belgian funk comes in later. Really funky on the back of the tongue. A severe champagne finish.
Feels dry like red wine at first, then a little champagne fizz. Flavors are a bit dark. A good, solid beer, not amazing. Fratto (670), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 17, 2009 Same bad aftertaste as other Unibroue beers I’ve had, but on a slightly better beer. Nimrod979 (11), Hagerstown, Maryland, USA Sep 11, 2009 12oz bottle. Aged 9 months. Pours a murky brownish-red color with a nice off-white head that lingers. Aroma is fruity, sweet and malty. Tastes sweet like a banana and some subtle spice notes. Medium body, very smooth. Aftertaste is unique. Lots of complexities with this beer. walrussell (93), , Illinois, USA Sep 10, 2009 Delicious mild slightly alcoholy belgian flavor with nice fizziness - tastes like a toasty bonde with a bit of hoppiness
