Unibroue Édition 2004

Bottle. Brown/amber pour. Aroma is definately minty, cinnamon and ripe/candied fruits (plums, dates and grapes). Taste is ripe fruits, sugar, spice (ginger and cinnamon). Good mouthfeel, very mellow (no alcohol feeling).

pours hazy amber with a fast thin head. Aroma is intensely fruity with some ginger spice and fruity apple. Earthy malty flavour, apricot tart fruitiness, woody spice, lively carbonation. perhaps just a lingering hint of alc in the finish. very nice.

Clear amber amber no head. Mellow co2. Sweet with some fruity aromas. Hints of berries too. Candy and caramel. Aromas of candy. Medium to full bodied. Medium to high carbonation. Mellow dry finish. Light plums. Hints of apple juice.

[2312-20090717] 750mL bottle. Minty herbal sweet leaves aroma has an odd spicy bark characteristic that reminds me of stevia and odd foreign spices. Murky, red brown body with a quick bubbly off-white head. Minty malty spice continues in the flavour with heavy sweet grains and a long sweet finish. Medium-full body is a little flat. Seems a bit old but is drinkable and tasty nonetheless.
(Vintage 2004; w/ jerc, others)

I’d give this one a 9.5; possibly the best beer I’ve had yet. I’m sorry I only bought one to try, and now...the shelves are bare. Bugger! The colour is a hazy copper and the head is quite substantial, although it falls away fairly quickly. Aroma and taste are amazingly complex with so many things going on. This drinks quite smoothly for such a high ABV. Bring on the 2005 edition!

Bottle. Been sitting on this for awhile. Deeper golden color. Spicy & ginger aroma. Taste was almost sugary sweet, fruity, abv well hidden. enjoyable

Had this brew for awhile but bought it already about 3 years old at a reputable dealer so I think it;s been taken care of. Aroma is ginger, strong ginger almost overpowering. Looks golden brown with some chinkies floating inside had a head that dissipated fast. Mouthfeel is silky almost flat (little carbonation). This is alright but a little too much ginger in the flavor for me to want to drink this more than once. Finish is clean but the ginger overrides most of the flavor during the drink, there is some citrus notes, some belgian yeast, and other spices. Alcohol well hidden, nice but not my favorite from this company.

"Bottle carefully cellared in the “Beerium” for four long years then carried 10.5Km and up 850m in elevation then cooled in a pristine glacial lake, this is going to be good. Color is hard to determine since me and the cronic are drinking out of black tin cups, however the stream out of the bottle seems to be a golden yellow and a brownish crown sits on top. Mmmmmm…..yummy aroma. Smells sweet and ginger ale like, with a great mellow spice. Taste has lots of ginger and is more spicy then the aroma. Wheat and yeast are noticeable but hardly. Wait stop the review!!!!!! Gully has polluted this pristine lake with a cashew wrapper, he ran in until the ice water hit his man area then stopped, so we huked rocks at it in a vain attempt to sink it so no one ells will see this travesty. After taste is very clean leaving no lingering flavor. Nut starts to show up the flavor when warmer. Freaking great brew and was enjoyed in the most perfect setting I could ever imagine. "
