3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20750ml bottle, purchased first day released in US.. saved until graduation. Poured a dark brown with a hazy nucleus. Full bodied. Bold dark fruits, alcohol, and heavy spice blend... taste adds a sour note midway through the bottle. Have had 15 and 16 and this was much bolder of a beer. Not the familiar fluffy Unibroue.. much more mature.
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.

Dark brown pour, tan head. The typical unibroue yeast shines, toffee, some dark fruits, tea, cocoa, plums.
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.

Tastes of figs and cheeries.... Smooth and easy to drink... Some chocolate notes.... Pretty tasty

750ml bottle, shared by a Ratebeerian whose name I don’t remember at DLD 2013 (thank you, though). Hazy red / brown color. Minimal off-white head. Little loose lace. Some dark fruit, berry, belgian candy sugar, chocolate. Soft smooth carbonation, dry texture. Spicy hop. Solid belgian strong.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
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)
