| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 7, 2007 Tasted 11/3/07. 750ml bottle. Opaque with slight garnet highlights. Finger width of taupe head. Quickly dissipating head. Woody toffee aromas. Full bodied with toffee and dark berry flavors. High effervescence. Citrus note with a belgian yeast flavor. Bready yeasty. Pruney raisin flavor. A cocoa nuance evolves as it warms. More depth and complexity as the level drops and the temperature rises. Cloying but with a nice sticky flavor. Good aging. Good juice! rudolf (1758), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 20, 2007 Thanks to Maya and Patrick for this. Very dark brown, tan head. Nose is unibroue spice, ginger, yeast, toffee, alcohol. Ginger is overpowering. Flavor is spice, ginger, cola, rich malt is buried below the abundant spicing. There is just too much here, leading to dissonance. Creamby body despite the high carbonation level. All around weird. Tastes like 2004 but with dark malt. YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany

Vingary -. nice sourness. Great balanced - I just loved it. pivo (2535), Germany
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 8, 2007 Earthy nose with hint of leaves, brown color, huge foamy head. Yeasty note comes forward quickly, with a vanilla flavor in the background. Leaves a sweet toffee taste on the lips. Big bold beer and well balanced. Good one.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 20, 2007 Bottle sampled on 9/20/06: Pours a dark brown with nicely-lacing frothy light tan head. Aroma has a nice, sweet bready dark malty presence with good Belgian yeastiness. Body starts sweet and toasty with a good dark caramel malty flavor and authentic trademark Unibroue Belgian yeastiness. A good Belgian dark strong ale. Spliffy (55), Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 19, 2007 A very nice brew with a dark look. Molasses and fruity and a pretty nice mouthfeel. Suprised to pick it up at TJ’s, but happy. Nice slow sipper rmussman (905), California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 27, 2007 I was very suprised at Trader Joes to see this beer was from Unibroue. After pouring it was easy to tell that it was certainly from them. The high carbonation and light acidic texture of the beer was classic Unibroue. Very dark nature was rare from them but expected. Very nice. Rockinout (945), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 15, 2007 Sweet molasses and root beerish nose, taste of the same and some dark fruits. Soft on the palate yet warming from the alcohol.
