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.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle bought from Picks Liquors. Pours a dark cloudy brown with a fast fading tan head. Aroma of fig, spice, banana, and bread. Taste of banana, pepper, a bit of yeast with a slight alcohol taste at the end but its covered really well by the other elements. Not overly sweet and very well balanced. Another great beer from Unibroue.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Wine & Spirits in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed on a Tuesday night stressed out from work. Appearance a very dark, murky, dirty brown with a very thin off white head that rims around the glass. Aroma of Belgian yeast, dark fruit, plums, a bit of sweet, a bit of pepper. Taste is really yeasty, getting banana with a very very soft sour note, like a banana that’s been left out for two days (as if I know what that would taste like, but I can imagine). Additional element of pepper, smoothness from yeast, has a kick in the back end from the alcohol, dark fruit/fig quality, a bit of molasses. This is a nice beer to drink after a hard day, I feel better, must be the alcohol kicking in! Well done.

Långt varande skum på en mörk öl. Härlig arom av övermogna och jästa frukter. Minnen från barndomen hemma hos farmor och farfar och deras stora fruktträdgård. Citrus och i vin inlagd frukt i smaken.

Bottle. Dark brown pour. Slightly bready/yeast, more fruity aroma. Dark fruits mostly. Taste is a bit sour - but only enough to counter any over-sweetness from the fig and apricot. Great mouth feel.

Clear brown with off-white head. Aroma is melon, over-ripe banana, light biscuit and a hint of spice. Flavor follows suit with a fruity mix of melon, strawberry, and banana. Baked bread, toasted malt, and clove. Clean with medium mouthfeel. No booze. Well-made, but much too fruity and sweet for me.

Bottle poured into a HOTD tulip. A - Pours reddish brown with a decent one finger tall white head leaving light streaks of lace down the glass. S - Smells of all the usual dark fruits, cherries, candied sugar, and the fruity belgian yeast. The alcohol is noticeable from start to finish. T - Starts off with an bit of candied sugar sweetness quickly giving way to hints of dark fruits; mostly figs, raisins and figs; cherries and the typical fruity belgian yeast. Finish is still pretty sweet with a good sized booze burn. M - Medium body and flavor with moderate carbonation. Smooth, creamy feel that really may be the best part of this beer. O - I enjoyed this one. Lots of flavor and an awesome feel make this one fairly easy to drink. If the booze would die down a bit this one would be really good.
