homebrewer799 (12), Roslindale, Massachusetts, USA Jan 21, 2002 If I could bathe in this stuff, I’d drink my own bath water. Also get’s point’s for having Satan on the label. I always try to put Satan on my homebrew labels. What can I say, he’s the man! Strong malty flavor with a very noticable alcohol taste (which I love inb any beer). Very nice hop characteristics as well & some interesting fruity esters. I guarentee this beer is a cornocopia of flavors. Kevbo99 (149), Dunmore, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 20, 2002 Very good. simalar to chimay grand reserve. in my opinion its better than chimay. i drink chimay grand reserve at least once a week but it look like that will change. congrats to unibroue!!! DaveZ99 (7), Burbank, California, USA does not count Feb 1, 2002 This Canadian ranks with any of the Belgians in my book. Very smooth and drinkable, but you can still take your time and get some comlexity out of it if you want to. Thank you Albert for nailing it right on the head...Nutmeg! I couldn’t put my finger on it. If this was the only ale I could get, I would be quite content mikeben (335), Naperville, Illinois, USA Mar 7, 2004 Had a few shared qualites with Don De. It is almost like a witbeer but darker. Let it warm for the full flavor to come out. It has a nice sweetness with a noticable wheat-citrus feel. Easy to drink very fragrent and nice color. All in all excellent even if I am not sure what style it really is. Belgian strong is too broad and I have many that are very different. beermatrix (1497), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA Jun 24, 2003 Updated: Dec 11, 2003Oh yeah...it smells absolutly amazing, I just loved the sweet spicyness, lets see, theres some fruity sweets of orange peels, some nutmeg, ginger, clove, belgian-like yeast, and heck though in some roasted peppers. Then the taste is super rich and creamy smooth with lots of spicy action and tingly sweetness with a great roasty caramel malt backing thats very bold and smooth. The spice is peppery and fruity. Its got alot of things happening in the taste and feel, its just great to sip and ponder what the hecks all in this thing. The feel is medium heavy bodied, solid, silky smooth and a little bit creamy, that starts sweet, citrusy and malty then goes into the spice level and fades nicely into a fresh and drying bitter hop. Nothing here is overwhelming or overpowering, its all balanced in so softly its hard to phathom.
