Pours a dark brown / amber color, opaque, with a 2-finger foamy off-white head that disappears pretty quickly. Aroma is a sweet caramel-y spice with some fruity banana plum fusion. Flavor has a lot of spicy yeast. I’m getting some cranberry and sweet prunes, but it finishes pretty dry. A light and pleasant bitterness left on the tongue. The body of this is a little bit lighter than I thought it might be. For the type of beer, it almost surprisingly refreshing. Another solid offering from Unibroue.

Have had this one in the cellar a while, finally decided to break it out and it does not disappoint. Fantastic looking coppery color, thick white small bubble head, decent lacing and retention. Brilliant aroma, oh so good, plums, graham crackers, a sweetness to it. Palate is full of small bubbles, tart and sweet all at once, sugary, with some warmth. Loved this.

On Tap at the Father’s Office, Culver City. Nose: phenols, sweet yeast, plums and sour apple. Pours: reddish brown with full tan head. Flavor: begins with sweet plum and cranberries with and earthy grassy dry hop finish in the throat. Medium to medium heavy body, medium carbonation. Drinkability is medium to high. Kind of like a less intense Trois Pistoles and really weak Judgment Day. Still, though, very nice and very enjoyable.

This is my second offering from Unibrou, my first being La Fin Du Monde. In comparison, I think the latter is better, but this defintely holds it’s own. This pours a reddish dark amber, with a light brown head. It’s aroma has some licorice, and burnt sugar, with a hint of raisin. The flavor follows obediently, being very similar to the aroma. Good beer, from a good brewer. Cheers!

This strong ale is number 21 on my quest at beerfest in Sept. 08. I am pretty drunk now but I am still coherient and my mission is stil clear. Try every beer on my list. Beers like this one helped me reach nirvana today.
