From a 750ml bottle . Best before 06/12/2010.. so a newer batch.
Nice enough looking ale, turbid dark brown with a lovely light tan , thick creamy head.
Very prominent yeasty aromas,, dark sugar,slight alcoholic aroma, i get raspberries too.
Taste is actually pretty tame compared to the aroma,typical belgian yeast and "spice, yet it is somehow subdued by a stronger malt base, again I get warm alcohol., sweet at the end.
Palte to be hnest was pretty average.
This is a good beer, but IMO not the great beer which its percentile on here denotes.
I wonder if this one was too new, or that its gone downhill since Sapporo took over?

does not count  Aug 29, 2008 The best Unibroue I’ve tried so far. Really drinkable but satisfyingly strong at the same time. Amazingly complex flavors mask the alcohol well. Almost flawless in my opinion.

Aug 26, 2008 Hazy murky brown with a small white head that fizzes out quickly. Notes of overripe bananas. A little spritzy and a bit thin. A little too swet for my palate.

Aug 26, 2008 from 750ml bottle - need to find my notes from the Unibroue tasting at my local supermarket. My favorite Unibroue.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle (355ml). Poured deep, dark brown with a tinge of red and a good sized, dense frothy, tanned head which lasted well. Aroma was of currents and blueberries with chocolate & caramel fudge, roasted toffee malts, sticky dates, porty/vanilla notes, hints of licorice and a handful of nuts to top it off. Flavor was of blueberries and raisins with sticky toffee malts, fruit & nut chocolate, caramelized dried fruits, light vanilla/clovey notes and a hint of gingery Christmas pudding. Well hidden alcohol content. Medium to full bodied with medium carbonation, a syrupy texture, warming mouthfeel and a long finish. The standout from the Unibroue lineup (well at least the ones I have tried).
