Nov 25, 2007 Pours a slightly hazy dark copper color with a frothy white head. Aroma of banana, with some cloves or allspice. In the mouth it’s pretty sweet, with some alcohol warming at the end. The spiced banana theme continues, along with more pronounced yeast flavors.

Nov 25, 2007 Nice milky, smooth head. Spicy, alcohol, malt aroma. Spicy flavor, not too bitter, not too sweet. Somewhat citrusy/ fruity. Good, but a little harsh metallic aftertaste.

Nov 24, 2007 750ml from Total Wine, Durham. Absolutely massive pour, with a full 80% of the glass foaming up initially. Nice looking mahogany body with that lasting head/retention. While this isn’t the top of Unibroue’s offerings, I do appreciate the fact that they stretch a bit here in offering something that’s a bit more piquant and fruity than some of their other brews. Slightly bitter at the start but with warming citrus and darker fruits giving a lasting finish. This is quite nice.

Nov 24, 2007 Bottle from The Grog Shop, Jericho, Oxford, 23-11-07 This spewed forth with a krakatoa like eruption losing me half the bottle in the process something I wasn’t best pleased about and which probably already got me off on the wrong foot with what appears to be a highly regarded beer. What I managed to get into my glass was of a muddy, murky brown appearance with quite an alcohol laden nose although this was backed up with spices and yeast. Tasted initially quite dissapointing but to give it, it’s due it got better over time and the spiciness was very apparent as was the alcohol again along with some banana lurking around and a touch of vanilla on the finish. I didn’t mind this beer but it seems a bit rough around the edges for me and not a great example of the style.

Nov 22, 2007 Bottle. Very sweet metallic aroma. Cloudy brownish colour. Lightning quick dissipating head. It tastes better than it looks. Lively beer, flavour is sweet with herbs and spice, vanilla even. Just not my thing.

Nov 18, 2007 On draft at Flatbread, Burlington. Poured rich mahogany with fizzy white head. Perfect level of carbonation that dances on the tongue. Sweet, candy flavor. Delicious.
