3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Thanks to ilovedarkbeer for this one. Aroma is a bit understated with some alcohol and candied fruits. Frothy, off-white head with good lacing and some retention. Orangy brown in color. Taste is nice, a bit spicey and yeasty on the finish. Dry mouthfeel and a bit overcarbonated.

This beer was defintily in its prime. Pours an orange brown color with a nice fluffy white head on top. Nose is of fruit, sugar, and some nice spices. Also huge brown sugar notes. Taste is about the same as it smells. Nice sweet, spicy, peppery finish. Great beer.

750 ml bottle. Lots of sweet aromas. Sugar and brown sugar. Flavors were spice, and more sweet fruity flavors. Peppery on the finish with not much alcohol. Pretty good.

Pours a nice amberish color, nice thick head. Aroma was sweet and spicy. Flavor was really nice and warm, of spices and semi sweet. Really nice brew.

Light cloudy orange-brown with a thick white head. Yeasty, sweet roll aroma, bready and sugary. Flavor is sweet with bits of apricot, orange, overripe plums, and a fairly big alcohol presence that puts one in the mind of brandy. Slightly sour bittersweet finish. Wonderful.

Pours a deep bold orange. Smells of apricots, apples, straw and sour mash whiskey. Tastes, alcohol, orange hard candy, maple, banana, and ginger. Smooth lingering finish of candy and spice. Nice.

Apricot amber color...lingering creamy head. Aroma of biscuits, bread and amber malt. Rich, sweet, creamy body and flavors of amber malts and subtle tropical notes...some lovely yeast esters as usual with Unibrou. Some spices, bubble gum, powder sugar, white pepper, bitter tropical fruit, alcohol, ginger. Should age nicely.

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2008 750ml bottle. Pours a lovely cloudy amber, with miles of fluffy pillowing head that produces an absurd amount of sticky lacing. Pineapple, citrus, and various spices fill the nostrils. Sharp stinging cider in the mouth. Tropical fruits lined up and knocked down in succession. Warming, glowing, biting; a very good beer.
