Aroma of cobwebs, cloves, coriander, some prune and the slightest hint of papaya. Appears a dark brown color with ruby hues; head is initially frothy, like root beer, but quickly dissipates. Flavor is intense cloves and ginger, with some nutmeg, cinammon and white pepper; there are also caramel or toffee notes buried somewhere under the spicy notes thrown off by the Unibroue yeast. Palate is intensely effervescent, with medium body. Overall, not bad for a Unibroue offering. I still think that their yeast has mutated a bit too far off the chart, phenolically, but this is an interesting brew, nonetheless.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle recieved in a trave with drewbeerme THX! Enjoyed at the Shorts tasting with The Club and then some. Pours a clear dark brown with a diminishing white head. Sweet with some dryness. Belgian yeast. Hints of spruce and spice. Also some cherry aromas. Medium body. High carbonation. A good example of a Belgian double.

Sep 6, 2008 Dark pour with nice sized brown head. A lot of dried fruit on the nose. Flavor has raisins, a little fig and rather sweet. Good body with a ton of carbination, yet nice texture. Just a little too sweet for me.

Aug 11, 2008 Pours a pitch black with a loose-bubbled tan head with poor retention, which reduces to a small ring of foam with some lacing. Aroma is fig and blackcurrant - very inviting! Tastes as expected, lots of blackcurrant in this with some fig & raisins. Very smooth with a lingering mild aftertaste. Delicate but sufficient carbonation, lightly creamy body. Better than trois pistoles, in my opinion. I really like this one - pity it’s not available in the country it’s brewed in!
