Pretty good for the price. A little too dark and rich for my taste. Prefer these drier and hoppier.

C&C 750 mL bottle from Trader Joe’s Glen Allen, VA. Pours a very dark brown color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Good head retention. Big yeasty aroma with notes of citrus, spice, stone fruits, caramela and smoke. The taste is bread, spice, cherries, plums, stone fruits, caramel and a faint bit of smoke. Medium-full bodied, spritzy carbonation, very interesting and pretty damn good.

Bottle from Trader Joes. Obviously. Starts out spicy, evolves into a bitter, pruny, smooth nice...thing. Quite smooth. Alcohol shows and adds to the flavor, but in an entirely positive way.

Honestly, it tastes just like Chimey Red. Red my review on that. I ain’t even lying.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a mahogany deep dark brown with a bubbly tan head. Smell is instant and rather big spicy notes (nutmeg, cinnamon), some bready yeast. Taste is more spice and smooth yeast dough finish. Excellant holiday beer and nice brew overall.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Made for Trader Joe’s by Unibrue. Pours rich dark brown with frothy white head. Settles down quickly. Aroma is belgian yeast with booze and some malt scents. First sip is boozey, yeasty nutty profile with lots of carbonation. Aftertase is spicy sweet butty finish. Lots of unrealized potential here.

(750ml bottle) Courtesy of Left4beer. Aroma of ginger and malt. Very spearmint and tonic. Dental, gross. Boring.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
750 ml bottle. Poured a dark ruby-brown color with a huge foam light-tan head. Aroma was dark fruits, sweet malts, touch of spice. Reminds me a bit of a raisin cookie. Flavor is heavy on the dried fruits, with a ton of malt. Creamy mouthfeel. Alcohol is quite subdued with this one, even though it’s 9%. Nice!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
750 ml bottle. Dark muddy brown pour, huge foamy light tan head, which quickly disipates. Dark dried fruit, raisin, very spicy, clove, yeasty, dark sugars, and esters. Lively yeast, makes a light body for the abv. Pretty good beer, I haven’t had a unibroue for a while. Not the best, but good.
