akinm (286), San Diego, California, USA Mar 6, 2003 My pour had a huge white head sitting on top of the amberish body. this full bodied beer delivered malt alcohol and yeast notes at every chance that it got. the sweetness was inturrupted only long enough for the alcohol an slight yeast bite to squeeze by and say "hi." all in all a good beer but i would rather have Unibroue 10.
grandgenie (18), gatineau, Quebec, Canada Jan 8, 2009 Dégusté avec french tickler le 16 novembre 2006. Bouteille vieilli de mon cellier. Dégusté dans un verre tulipe. De couleur or ambré, d’apparence crémeuse avec un beau collet d’épaisseur moyenne. Sensation de crême, d’alcool et goût de fruit et de canneberge en arrière plan.Une senteur de pain, de pomme, de poire, de prune, de cuir, de cassis et d’épices madérisés.On parle içi d’équilibre et de perfection, de beau souvenir et soirées de dégustations.
WeeHeavySD (2186), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Jan 5, 2009 750ml via trade with moejuck I believe, way back when. Pours orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet and quite fruity with a big apple fruity feeling. Taste is spiced rich and fruity.very smooth and very light for the abv. Pretty tasty. Snojerk321 (1153), San Diego, California, USA Oct 25, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazed burnt orange color with zero head. Tons of sweet candied dark fruits and malt on the nose. Flavor was sweet with malt and some baking spices. Brew was medium/ full in body. A damn good Belgian Ale. gunhaver (700), Tampa, Florida, USA Sep 10, 2008 Bottle, at BA Throwdown #2. Pours a golden reddish color, creamy lacing, nice head. Bright cider nose, Belgian yeast, some mellow notes. Creamy notes of vanilla and caramel. Some interesting creamy maltiness, with lots of wheat. Drinkable, held up very well, very good. sneagrams3 (1498), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Sep 4, 2008 Tasted 8/19/08. 750ml cork and cage. Upon opening, the cork is stinky and darkened. Pours a hazy body with a golden orange hue. Slight trace head with no pop when it was opened. Candy nose with hints of grapes, citrus and berries. Good nose! Ever so slight vinuous note. Full bodied with a solid yet melded burn. Typical Unibroue character with a nice mix of citrus and honey. Medium roasted sweet malts. As complex as this beer is, I keep going over and over the honey and citrus flavors. Stickt finish with a faint slight hop character. So smooth with flavors of graham crackers and lemon acidity. Moderate effervescence. So good! And I still have one left!
