radagast83 (1273), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Jul 20, 2007 Beer pours a dark amber color, thin white head if poured correctly (one glass I poured had a huge head). Aroma is spicy, with a nice touch of what makes most Belgians good. Flavor was just about the same, with the high alcohol content pretty well masked for it being 10%. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA Jul 18, 2007 Bottle. Medium sized semi-fizzy head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, hazy, visible carbonation, and a chestnut brown hue. Nose was malty, spicy, some clove notes, alcohol, and dark fruit. Ditto for the flavor, but without any clove notes. Mouthfeel was smooth with a slight tinglyness and a warming sensation. Medium body. A sipping beer. Nothing too out of the norm for this one from Unibroue. dyetube (397), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 17, 2007 This beer pours a deep amber color with a very thin white head. Fruity sweet aroma reminiscent of a belgian abbey. Flavors are plentiful and complex, very sweet like candy with a dryness that compliments this. This is a very well crafted brew! Cheers! PorterPounder (3132), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jul 11, 2007 Columbia, SC - Green’s Discount Beverages - 750 ml bottle - cellared in the store. Nice dark chestnut brown pour with a luxurious, creamy, khaki colored head. Fruity aroma with hints of lemon joy, sweet cake mix and yeast. Tart flavor, pick up some candied sugar, bubble gum, brief wisp of chocolate, some faint citrusy notes. Alcohol presence hidden well - will feel it when I stand up I’m sure. Thick, creamy mouthfeel. Very good Belgian, not disapppinted - just expected a but more oomph and complexity. Nejhleader (924), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 11, 2007 very yummy brew. has a nice sweet malt aroma, taste is similiar with a nice hint of sweet candy, good body and carbonation, would like to have it again despite being $16 at the place I got it. thenick (742), North Bellmore, New York, USA Jul 9, 2007 Pours amber with a large, lacy head. The beer is hazy and cloudy, very very nice appearance. Smells sweet and spicy at the same time. Taste is dominated up front by candy sugar, but the complex spice characteristics come through as the beer lingers on your tongue. It’s smooth, it’s complex, it’s just wonderful BeerPrince (1701), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Jul 8, 2007 Amber colour with a nice haze. Fluffy head and lasting. Flavour is rich and strong with lots of spice and yeast. Aroma is sweet candied sugar with spicy nutmeg and some hops. Smooth lingeriing finish. Enjoyable. DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Jul 8, 2007 Okay, this is my third time having this, so I’d better rate it. Murky amber-orange with a foamy, chunky almond head. Aromas of musty basement, citrus peel, spices, sugar candy. Sweet, slightly sticky after a while, with yeast, citrus, toffee, and spice. Yum!
