Jan 25, 2003 Absolutely delicious. Pours out to a plum color in the glass with a decent, brown sugar-looking head. The aroma is all over the place, with fruit, plums, yeast and although it sounds strange, a sweet tart candy smell. Taste is excellent, with a variety of spices lingering in the mouth. Mouthfeel is near perfect and the finish, while warming, masks the high ABV. Yum.

Nov 28, 2002 Updated: Apr 30, 2003 Amazingly complex beer. Hints of grape and plum, very smooth and somewhat spicy. Extremely sweet but not cloying, balanced well. Very dark body and incredible head retention. A world class beer.

Mar 9, 2001 A distinctive beer in a rather impressive line up from Unibrou. A bit of a progenator as far as style goes. Outside of Belgium we can call it Belgian-like. Made inside Belgium this would be an artisinal classic.

Jun 20, 2002 Updated: Jan 6, 2004Incredibly smooth for such a high ABV beer. A slight fruity sweetness to it. Very mellow without an overpowering taste. Sip it slow.

Feb 28, 2003 Pours with a very large head that dissipates quite quickly with no lacing at all. Smells sour with a touch of malt. Color is a slighty cloudy deep shade of red blended with amber. Body is a little thin, not uncommon really. The commercial description is pretty good, has a great port taste to it, some citrus and some roasted flavors. The alcohol blends nicely, quite a warming burn that lingers a bit. A sweet slighty spicey aftertaste finish is quite pleasant. Overall, quite exceptional!!

Feb 16, 2004 Dark golden brown, diminishing beige head, some lace. Aroma of raisins and dried cherries. These, plus brown sugar, make up the bulk of the flavor; the hops contribute a nice grassiness. Vinous notes are plentiful, as well. Very port-like. There's a little bit of warming alcohol, but it harmonizes well with everything else. Medium to full body. All in all a well-balanced, great beer. Thanks to my uncle John for bringing a 750 of this stuff.
