nigos (620), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England Feb 26, 2008 Deep bronze clouded hue with a large foamy of white head. Strong orange and spicey nose. Malty taste with dry slightly bitter finish. Expected a stronger flavour although it is very pleasant indeed and not at all over powering bearing in mind the alcohol content. HUNTERNFLA (25), USA Feb 25, 2008 CARMEL COLOR FRUITY OVERTONES VERY GOOD BEER SMOOTH NICE HEAD , VERY CREAMY FEEL IN MOUTH
WARM ALCOHOL FEEL Gmku (240), Asheville, North Carolina, USA Feb 25, 2008 Unibroue does a superb job of its "mass consumption" Belgian styles. They don’t water it down and somehow keep the price fairly reasonable. This is a great Belgian-style ale, one of the best this side of the waters. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Feb 17, 2008 Trappist glass. Pours dark brown with a medium head. Aroma of toffee, raisins, and yeast. Tast of malt annd spices. Has an aromatic hop finish. Med/high carboantion. Has a lot of nice noted to it, but it could come together a bit more nicely. Overall, a good beer. prosqtor (408), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Feb 16, 2008 Sampled at Food and Froth. Too bad my sample glass was only 8 oz.; I’ll be trying a bottle soon! Complex and tasty combination of Belgian Ale and cidery taste -- was served a bit too cold to experience the full onslaught of flavors but still awfully good. FlssmrBrewAlum (1053), Lisle, Illinois, USA Feb 14, 2008 12 oz. bottle from the Unibroue sampler pack. Poured a brownish dark amber with a prominent tan head that does not die very much and laces well. Aromas of alcohol infusion and some light fruitiness that one might equate or identify to a belgian ale (Surprised?!?) with some somber notes that might be considered wheaty. Tastes of light kick with a lively fruitiness and touch of spice. Warming alcohol sensation that lingers. Finish is typical of the smooth belgian feel. This brew has character, but it subued compared to what I expected. A good belgian strong but not my favorite. Wulfstan (509), California, USA Feb 14, 2008 A wonderful beer. It is dark, slightly brownish amber, very faintly hazy, with a huge off-white head that lasts a long time, coating the glass but not really leaving well-dfined lace. The aroma is alcohol/wine with fruit, bread, orange juice, and qualities of a hefeweizen and Duvel. The taste is compelx and lively, tingly, fruit, spicey, with orange, caramel, and a warming fullness of alcohol without the alcohol coming on too strongly. It is wonderful, satisfying, complex. afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 13, 2008 pours a hazy brown color with a thin clumpy head. smells of light fruit, spice, and alcohol. I don’t know if my palate isn’t sophisticated enough to appreciate this stuff, but it tastes like over cooked carrots to me. finishes sweet and spicy with some alcohol warmth.
