pretty spendy for a nice buzz, this beer is what many folk will call a real beer. I call it a real expensive way to get messed up at the expense of murdering you taste buds. This beer tastes fine at first but leaves a distinktly strange taste in your mouth. I would buy this beer again but not regularly due to price at $8 per bottle.

Dec 21, 2009 Tap. Mahogany pour. Offwhite clingy head. Aroma and taste of fig, black cherry, and maybe a couple other fruits. Pretty darn good stuff.

Dec 20, 2009 750ml bottle. drank out of snifter. aroma is of intense malts and spices, banana and clove. a bit of cognac in there too. pours an orangy brown with a frothy off white head and leaves some nice lacing. flavour is sweet, but not too sweet. an assertive hop finish makes this wonderful beer from unibroue nicely balanced.

Dec 10, 2009 A: Pours a nice hearty robust red color with a medium head into the Maudite Tulip....how else would you drink it? There is a steady stream of small bubbles rising to the top which keeps this red brew bubbling like lava.
S: Nice malty aroma with tons of dark fruits noted. I smell Figs, Black Cherries, and a hint of dried Apricot. Behind all of that there is a mild hoppiness to this brew. I detect a slight aroma of orange peel. Refined.... I think so!
T: Quite possibly the best brew to come out of Canada. It is right up there with La Fin Du Monde another Unibroue offering. I actually think I prefer this one though. There is just more substance to it. I taste tons of nice sweet malty fruits. Cherries, Apricots, Orange, and Peach. The Malty backbone is splendid but there is a wee bit of hops in here with the taste of lemon or lime zest. It’s complex yet very refined. I love the Unibroue beers and Canada should hang their hat on these because it is NO DOUBT ABOUT IT...it is the best they have to offer.
M: Medium bodied. Slightly effervescent, yet very drinkable.

Dec 9, 2009 Updated: Dec 24, 2009750 mL Bottle. Pours an amber brown colour with a dissipating white head. The aroma is of spice and fruit. There is a lot of spice in the taste as well, its is sweet and malty too. The beer is enjoyable even though I am not one for beers that have a lot spice flavour to them.

Dec 8, 2009 Bottle. Hazy bronze, beige head that rapidly become just a rim and 1mm layer. Berries and cherries, some earthy aromas. Inviting. Quite carbonated and light. Some overt alcohol. Sweetness balance with citrus. Dry finish.

Dec 3, 2009 A terrific beer. This, while being a belgian-type ale, appeals to those of us who enjoy the qualities of British ales - while remaining faithful to the complexity, thickness, and malty sweetness of a belgian double.
This is one of Unibroue’s best offerings.
