The pour is deep straw colored, with a hazy hue. The nose is yeast, fruits, and slightly hoppy. The flavor is fruits, hops, and a slight alcohol warming. A pleasant beer, but I expected more from an anniversary brew.

Rated in Los Angeles while on conference for the SCTE ET. Rated from 750ml bottle obtained from Whole Foods Westwood. Rated in nasty hotel bar glass. Pours slightly more golden than the younger Unibroue 15. Slightly thinner head than 15, with slightly less opaqueness. Aroma is more balanced than 15, bready, malty, but still has lingering rubber bands. Damn. Flavour is slightly less spicy, but overall good.

Bottle. Orange-brown pour with a bubbly beige head. Funky, yeasty aroma. Sweet, some hops, dark fruit, bready. Funkiness in the aroma also, slightly sweet, finish is bubbly but smooth. I like this beer, and it’s definitely going to age well.

Bottled poured in a trappist glass. U16 pours murky orange with a large fluffy white head that settles a bit but doesn’t disappear. It has a huge nose of fruit, noticably banana, apple and apricot. Spicy hops balance the sweet fruit aroma nicely. A touch of alcohol balances the whole bouquet. The body is crisp and has a cider-like quality to it. The alcohol warms you up right away but doesn’t bully the balanced hop and fruit flavor. This is a great beer.

Creme denso, mas pouco consistente. Aroma agradável de mel, banana, lúpulo e leve floral. Álcool evidente, mas bem inserido no conjunto. Presença marcante de cravo, final longo e doce.

Wham, bam, thank you mam! Like a Belgian row home brick slammed against your head, and you ask for more. A little hint of the dried fruits (prune/raisin) and sweetness. Pours with a medium head, definitely apple cider in color and clarity. Hearty beer, and good for the winter night. Nice malt character, adding to the dried fruits, and a buzz on the tongue. Burns a bit going down. Interesting beer... (Bottle Pour 1/4/2007)

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with 3 cm white/off-white head that is both bubbly and foamy, slowly diminishing. Aroma is sweet malt, citrus, and some yeast, alcohol as it warms. Hint of alcohol at times. Initial flavor is of yeast and cherries with citrus and alcohol at the end. Medium body, mild to moderate carbonation, some lacing. A little to sweet to drink more than one glass in a sitting, but otherwise drinkable.

Cloudy amber body with fluffy, almost light tan, head. Some rings of lacing. Mixed spices on the nose. Noticeable but enjoyable warming alcohol on the taste, smooth, fairly full in body, lively carbonation, spice and yeast notes. Enjoyable!!
