750ml bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours a murky dark brown, nearly opaque body with a good inch of light tan head. Smells fruity with chocolate, date, and a fair bit of wood/smoke. Tastes like a fine mix of chocolate, date, wood, smoke, hints of caramel. Complex and extremely well-balanced. Medium to full in body. A beer that feels full and yet goes down very easily. Tasty and more drinkable than expected. Another top notch limited edition beer from Unibroue!

Oct 5, 2008 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.

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.

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.
