shawnm213 (884), South Bend, Indiana, USA Mar 31, 2009 This beer is legit. Stumbled across a few extra bottles while cleaning out my dungeon. I appreciate the fantasy world this beer creates. It’s like the perfect beer for fighting demons 1000 years ago! Tastes pretty damn good too. linc33 (177), Albany, New York, USA Mar 26, 2009 On tap at the Ginger Man, NYC. Very dark; seemed undercarbonated as most beers at this establishment did. Does not have the typical Unibroue flavour or alcohol character, for better or worse. Mellow to a fault. Would be a good beer for a dark, rainy fall night. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Mar 25, 2009 Bottle pours a rich looking mahogany color with a dense beige head that abruptly fades to a thin louter ring with a mound in the center of the glass. Aroma of fruit and yeast with some roasted malt. Flavor reminds me of red plums and other fruit with some malt sweetness and yeast added into the mix. Fairly dry mouthfeel with prickly carbonation. Nice aftertaste of spices with a slight tartness in the finish. The 9% is well hidden. DeputyAndy (60), New Jersey, USA Mar 25, 2009 Very malty nose and a hazy, coke colored pour with a nice head. Very malty flavor with some apple/fruit overtones. Very short finish and overall weak mouthfeel. terrybail (330), London, Ontario, Canada Mar 23, 2009 Updated: Mar 29, 2009750ml bottle from Ryans Party Store in Port Huron
Pours a dark brown with a large fast disappearing tan head
The aroma is dark fruit dark malt and spices
The taste is dark fruit yeast malt and citrus
bedainedebiere (274), Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada Mar 22, 2009 I’m cellaring a few bottles. The latest I drank only had 6 months old but was already sweeter, with more fruit and spices complexities than anyone I regularly had before. Remember: 10 YEARS aging potential, said a little booklet that was included in a Unibroue special package. It’s a beer I like even when fresh but don’t forget that it should be served at around 8-10 degrees celcius, at least... Maybe warmer.... lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Mar 20, 2009 Dark brown with a thin light tan creamy foam. Aroma is some dark sweet malts, some spice and a surprising citrus. Taste is more oranges, lemons, some darker plums and brown sugar then a nutmeg or cinnamon spice finish.
