| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 4, 2008 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. jimhilt (1678), Bow, New Hampshire, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 3, 2008 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. pilsnerrogge (1782), Finspång, Sweden

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Oct 1, 2008 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!

Very much a winning strong brown ale. douglas88 (1596), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 30, 2008 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.
