4.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Absolutely delicious. One of the best beers I’ve ever had. Murky brown color w off white head. Not much on the smell. The flavors are a complex blend of dark fruit, clove, cola and tobacco. The aftertaste is a warm reminder of what just happened. That warmth is the only warning you have as to how important it is not to drive after drinking this gift from the beer gods.

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a nice auburn color with a sturdy foamy head. The nose is a beautiful blend of toffee, caramel, vanilla, and just a touch of banana. The taste starts with tobacco, maple, vanilla, and brown sugar, with just a bit of cocoa. In the middle there’s a dramatic shift with cherry tannins, plums, pepper and clove. The tannins carry thought to the finish, though the sweetness from the front end lingers underneath.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours hazy brown with creamy off-white head that gives way after a few minutes. Aroma is Belgian yeast, champagne, apple and alcohol. Smooth creamy mouthfeel. Excellent flavor with notes of Belgian yeast, spice and wood. Not a trace of its 10% ABV. Another winner from Unibroue.

Ambrée d’apparence trouble, sa mousse volumineuse se résorbe lentement en tricotant une belle dentelle sur son passage. Les épices nous emplissent les narines de leurs arômes. La cannelle, le clou de girofle, l’anis et la coriandre entre autres, se signalent d’avantage. Le goût est mené par les mêmes épices, avec des bulles bien présentes, au travers des saveurs boisées. Une franche amertume et un apport sec en bouche, réussissent à tracer une finale longue et soutenue. (No 2012-53360) (578-190313)
