Commercial Description:
Strong Belgian type ale similar to a Port wine ! Is as dark as can be, mellow in taste with an aroma of ripe fruits. It can be compared to an old porto and is brewed from well roasted malt.

Several reviewers have remarked on the fruity qualities of this beer, but I think they are a bit overstated - this is not a fruity brew by any stretch, although the references to port are apt (I personally don’t think of good port as being particularly "grapey" - it has a character of its own). Rich, caramelly, malty, and pleasantly roasted; tremendously well-balanced for such a relatively high-ABV brew. This is a classic, cold-weather strong ale. Highly recommended, and one of my favorites both of the genre, and in general. Nice job, Unibroue!

This beer is a tawny brown. It pours with a bubbly head like a soda. The smell is malty and sweet and there is a slight, very slight grapey smell. The bubbles tickle my mouth as I drink it. The taste is pleasantly roasty without being burnt or bitter. It has the flavor of a nice sweetbread and a bit of a creamy, doughy mouthfeel and would be a perfect pairing with some Moravian sugar cookies.

An excellent Belgian strong ale. It has a fruity and caramel maltiness to it. Highly drinkable. I didn’t know Canada made good Belgian style beer!

I’m the guy that will buy a beer if it has a cool picture on it and a winged black horse falls under that criteria. I like this beer, it has a good taste and aroma which is kinda fruity but still quite delicious.

Corked bottle. Rich, dark brown pour. Faint aroma of fruit, perhaps plum. Sweet, malty, fruit and caramel flavor. Medium body, smooth, malty and carbonated mouthfeel. This was a very nice beer.
