craftycarl21 (214), South Hero, Vermont, USA Jul 11, 2008 pours a dark brown with a boisterous head. definitely a unibroue aroma, but darker than most- dates, molasses, plum, walnut- interesting offering in that respect. relaly deliicious flavor- maintains the darker aspect of unibroue. really tasty.
hopscotch (4591), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Oct 12, 2008 Bottle... Murky caramel-colored ale with a large, frothy, khaki head. Excellent, small, creamy, mushroom cloud-like retention. Weeping lacework. The complex aroma can be described using all these words: vinous, woodsy, acidic, earthy, malty, herbal, spicy, Flemish, perfumey, praline and dark fruits. Throw all those against a wall and they’ll stick. Medium to full-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Sweet; but sufficiently bitter and tart to maintain balance. Woodsy, funky and Flemish. Lengthy, moderately sweet finish. Strykzone (1019), Wood River, Illinois, USA Oct 11, 2008 Dark brown pour with a small tan head. Wood flavor with yeast and coconut(?), wood, and vanilla. Nicely complex and some super spice flavors. Did not expect coconut. Pleasant zest. Almost with the best of its breed. Maria (4418), Thisted, Denmark Oct 11, 2008 Courtesy of oh6gdx. It’s red-brown with a creamy head. The aroma is rather complex with notes of spice, oak, vanilla and pumpkin. The flavour has sweetness and notes of alcohol, vanilla, oak, spice, caramel, raisin and pumpkin. It’s complex, but needs maturing to develop the full potential. amish_caravan (212), Winona, Minnesota, USA Oct 11, 2008 pours heavy with lots of head. dark amber color with a scent of fermented fruit and some caramel. very smooth taste with tones of malt and fruit. finish is smooth with a warming feeling as it goes down. would purchase again. Veer (333), Landskrona, Sweden Oct 10, 2008 Aroma: sourish, yeast, coriander, citrus, cranberries, caramelt malt, darker malt, vanilla, coconut... Vinous, mint... armagnac... butter flavoured popcorns.
Flavour: sweetish, powerful, mild rowanberry, malty, yeasty. This is great. Vaguely of saffron (semi-bitter). Roasted apple lingers throughout. Green grapes. A bit too mild & sweet to score higher.
Palate: soft, fizzy as usual (with Unibroue) - though not overpowering.
Appearance: slightly murky deep red copper body w/ frothy yellowish beige head leaving rustic lacing.
