Tyler88 (3), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada does not count Sep 17, 2009 12 oz bottle. Interesting head that disappeared almost instantly, may have been a one-off. Mouthfeel also odd, almost feels like a rum and coke. Aroma has distinct notes of fruits, possibly apricots.Taste is obviously quite complex, and I would expect no less from a great brewer like Unibroue. Great beer. Alasdair (76), New Zealand Sep 15, 2009 Aroma of freshly baked raisin bread. Rich flavour of cinnamon, clove, dark fruit, with a tasty doughy yeastiness. Fratto (662), Arlington, Texas, USA Sep 14, 2009 Updated: Oct 21, 2009Taste was good, but was overwhelmed by bad aroma and piss-poor almost burning aftertaste. Seems to be consistent with other Unibroue beers I’ve had. 1 2 4 1 8 - 1.6
Re-rate since it’s been a few years. Nice dark pour. Smells like stale fruit. Decent grape, raisin, and citrus flavor. Terrible aftertaste. dnlsartin (68), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 11, 2009 Updated: Sep 12, 2009Pours a dark ruby red. Aroma of cherry, honey, oak, and cloves. Red wine, brown sugar, balsamic, and raisins veil the high alcohol quite nicely. Beautiful character, warming, and drinkable. Cheese and crackers please. MattAddis (7), Portland, Oregon, USA does not count Sep 11, 2009 Beautifully dark with a nice greyish head. Deep, dark aroma reminiscent of cocoa and raisins. Hints of grapes on the first few sips and then the malt and alcohol come through to balance it out very nicely. Alcohol taste lingers a bit to keep you warm. Very nice beer. cfrancis (291), Gloucester, Ontario, Canada Sep 6, 2009 Sweet beer. Aroma is a stinging fruit that is sharp to the nostrils. Taste is fruit with an alcohol taste that isn’t a burning sensation with a lot of Quebec strong beers. Instead it’s a smooth bite of malt and alcohol. Such a nice beer to sit back sip and relax. petematte46 (212), Dallas, Texas, USA Sep 3, 2009 Pours an incredible purple/maroon color with a bubbly white/rose head. Strong flower nose with a bitter finish. Not bad
angryrobot (13), Australia Sep 3, 2009 very dark almost black, ruby highlights, light average surviving head . aroma of banana , roastiness, raisins. tastes of yeast, fruit; not managing to hide some alcohol.
