| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 16, 2005 12 oz bottle pours murky brown with a creamy tan head that laces very well. Aroma of yeast, some alcohol, plums, and raisins. Flavor is of plum, a bit of black cherry, some yeast. Very sweet. Palate is silky smooth, airy, and quite pleasant mouthfeel. The 9% alcohol is very well covered Only a touch available in the aroma. None in the flavor. Not a bad sipper.. Pretty good for a nightcap Volgon (2490), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

I had a 12oz bottle and can't wait to try a bigger one. 12-29-01: I'm sipping a 25.4 oz and I don't remember rating the 12oz bottle of this. After checking the bottle pile, yes I had it before. I'm knocking the palate to a 5. Great beer, way to keep them Belgians working! Like Chimay, but more offerings at half the price. FlacoAlto (2482), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 16, 2004 This beer has an orange-amber-copper hue to it. It is lightly hazy as well, and the head is a pale tan color. A fruity (a combination of apple, pear, and plum), crisp aroma wafts from my glass. It is well carbonated and has a bit of sweetness up front. This beer is quite smooth, there is not much in the way of bitterness or astringency. The taste is fruity as well with notes of apple and pear. This has a nice light refreshing palate to it. This beer has simple flavors, despite this I really like this. There is a hint of astringency in the finish, combined with the prickly carbonation, that balances the sweetness/ fruitiness of this beer. KAggie97 (2482), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 24, 2004 Cloudy Orange Coloring. Frothy Head. Spice. Sweet. A very good offering from Unibroue.. ekstedt (2456), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Bottle, 33 cl. Very beautiful hazy reddish amber colour, with small but stable off-white head. Roasted malt aroma, with slightly toffeish notes, earthy and spicy notes may be found as well, along some yeast. Medium bodied, a bit spritzy CO2 feeling. Well balanced, actually rather dry, in sharp contrast to previous sticky Unibrous I’ve head. A good shot at the belgian style, but far from the best original ones. unclemattie (2446), Georgia, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 18, 2008 The first time I had this beer was 5 years ago. The bottle was a birthday gift from my ex.father.in.law. He siad he thought it was a cool label. I do not think he knew what the meaningof the name was. Pours a slightly hazy reddish brown. White foamy head. Aroma of belgian yeast, figs, dates, rich malt. Very complex scent. Flavor is a strong bodied malt. Lots of dark dried fruits. More complex flavors than in the aroma. Wow. Overall this bottle reminds me of a heavy doppelbock made with a belgian yeast. Happiness in a warm glass. I could have a tap of this in the house and never leave again.

Amber color, soft carbonation. Light peppery taste, also apples and honey. Medium aftertaste. Pricks on the tongue. Round and balanced.
