pantanap (1322), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 22, 2008 bottle that has been sitting inside my closet for way too long.... pours a murky dark caramel brown with a one finger soapy off-white head.... aromas of dark fruit, yeast, and sweet malts.... flavors don’t stray too far from the nose other than the fact that it leaves just a slight bitter finish to it but doesn’t detract away from it. a little too carbonated for my taste and which it was a little more smooth and creamy....a decent bsa. pnista (1008), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Mar 21, 2008 Pours a dark dark reddish brown with a healthy big bubbled light tan head. The nose is hard to pick up through the foam. Big fruity Unibroue yeast smell, sometimes it bugs me, but here it works better than in most of their other beers. Raisins and some light dark fruit. A bit sweeter than most of their beers and a bit fuller on the malt bill. Alcohol, hidden. Creamy, with robust small bubbled carbonation. The flavor is in line with the nose, though the alcohol pops out quite a bit . Sweet estery goodness. The apple pops back a bit, the banana up. This has some nice dark malt complexity. But it plays well with a chewy juicy fruit like flavor. Raisin. A bit creamy. Some caramel, a dry floral finish. A small bit of toffee hits in the finish. Better than I thought it would be. smith4498 (818), Miami, Florida, USA Mar 20, 2008 Pours dark brown with off white head. Aromas of fruits, yeast and some citrus. Flavors of sweet dark fruit and malt. Meduim body with a creamy mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. My favorite beer from Unibroue. Vas19 (293), Maryland, USA Mar 19, 2008 Pours black with a thick tan head. Highly carbonated. Nose is yeast and citrus even though it doesnt look like it would be. Very smooth beer. Very fruity but im having a really hard time putting my finger on exactly what. Hides it’s alcohol really well. Fun to drink. DocHop (278), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Mar 19, 2008 Pours black with a tall, frothy tan head. This is a very carbonated beer. Aroma of yeast and citrus, wit ha few other fruity notes. Very smooth and fruity all the way through. Almost like spiced apples dominating a fruit salad that ends with a sweet hoppiness. Very tasty and complex, but hard to identify any dominating character out of the fruit. biggmike (480), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA Mar 17, 2008 Poured a dark brown color with fluffy white head that stayed for a while. Aroma was of sweet dark fruit. Flavor was dark fruit and sweet maltiness with a touch of spice. A bit of chocolate taste at the finish. Mouthfeel was pleasant, and this beer hid the 9% abv very well. Great beer. Fantomasus (122), USA Mar 16, 2008 A rock solid entry from the boys at Unibroue. Pours a deep cola with a big off white head that eventually deteriorates into a decent ring that lasts. Aromas of soft fruit, alcohol, and fresh vinyl. Flavors of sweet malt, with more fruit, apple, spices like nutmeg, and a rich bitter hop. Great stuff.
jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Mar 16, 2008 Dark brown with a decent head. Sweet malty grain aroma with some honey and carmael. Taste is caramel, licorice and orange peel.
