Chocolate brown, hazy/murky pour from 750ml bottle. Huge, off white head taking its time to dissipate. Aroma of caramel and some flower, sweet with a bitter finish. A malty concoction with a Belgian influence.

Bottle shared by firmbuttstone. Poured a murky brown orange color with a light tan head. Lots of spices (esp clove), pastry, vanilla, and flowery hop in the aroma. There was also a whiff of rubber. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with mild bitterness and moderate to high carbonation. Citrus and tar graced the flavor and made for a nice combination there was also some flowery hops, light alcohol, and a dash of powdered sugar. Delicious.

Would pour, if you don’t pour very slowly, a 5+ finger light tan thick whip cream head that fades very slowly leaving a good lace. Hazy amber color. Good carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Sweet malty nose. Flavor is sweet plums, caramel and raisins. Some yeastiness in finish. High ABV is hidden. $8.60 for a 750ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Bottled: Pours dark reddish brown with a big, thick head. Aroma has yeast, coriander, orange peels, nutmeg and black currants. Flavour is sweet and spicy and vinous. The finish is alcohol bitter and warming.

Very nice aroma, with thick complex, but subtle smell. The appearance is wonderful, beautiful colour, nice foam and a very beautiful bottle. The taste is complex, with many flavours but none as strong so it takes out another. Great beer!

A dark mahogany brew withh a beige head, this strong ale succeeds in balancing the sweet malt and chocolate notes with hops and smooth carbonation level. Very much a winning strong brown ale.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark mahogany hue with a large beige head. The aroma suggests all the nice aspects of Unibroue; lots of yeast and spices, plus a light malt and fruitiness. The flavor is very nice; initially dominated by loads of spices; clove and cinnamon mostly. There is a rich yeast aspect too, along with some dark fruits and sweet chocolates and other sweets. I drank the whole 750 during the Steelers victory, and it went down very easy. As usual, I enjoy this brewery’s well-crafted beer.
