Bottled. Local store actually still had some of this. Pours dark amber. Light tan head. Aromas include plums cherry and yeast. Flavors to match with smoked malts and alcohol present on the tongue. Unibroue does another bang up job with this product.

Deep amber and hazy with a thick off-white head. Aromas of plums and raisins, caramel and a slight yeastiness. Flavors of dark fruits, cherries and sweet malt.

AmEricanbrew (4077) - roam, Louisiana, USA - MAR 13, 2008
Glowing amber with a frothy tan head that lingers. Good smell is raisons, plum pudding with a custard milky sweetness. Frothy expanding mouthfeel. Flavor mirrors the aroma with liquid plum pudding; bready, yeasty with sweet raisons and spicy alcohol. For me this is Uni’s best anniversary beer since "11".

Goodgrief (1608) - Middletown, Delaware, USA - MAR 10, 2008
July 2007 - Cherry maple color, decent head and lacing. Aroma of burnt gunpowder that reminded me of the 4th of July as a kid. Taste of smokey malts, very little else. Enjoyable beer. Hides the alcohol well…never woulda guessed it was 10% abv.

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - MAR 8, 2008
750 from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Pours a dark cloudy orange with a monstrous head. Nice lacing. Aroma of citrus (lime) and malt. Very sweet taste... fruity (citrus, apple) with a malty base somewhere along the lines of graham crackers. Quite effervescent and thick mouthfeel. Tasty.

bleeng (1085) - Huntsville nowhere near Beersel, Alabama, USA - MAR 8, 2008
750 ml bottle. Soapy nose a bit overwhelming. Taste is very chunky, a bit chocolately, very sweet, thick and smooth. The soapy nose kills much of the enjoyment of this beer.

MrEcted1 (144) - Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA - MAR 7, 2008
Another GREAT offering by Unibroue. Flavor is nice and fruity with apples and cherries. Nice and musky like a good Belgian beer should be. Tastes a little similar to Three Philosophers. Looks absolutely perfect for the style. One of my favorite Unibroue brews for sure.

TomDecapolis (4000) - Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 1, 2008
Sample at PCBF 08. Pours a brownish amber with a medium creamy off white head. Aroma of sweet malts, candy notes, caramel, Belgian yeast esters, toasted malt and tropical fruits. Flavor was much of the same. A little on the sweet side.
