Duke (117), New York, USA Jun 20, 2004 Dark red ruby brown. Cherry rasin nose. Lots of carbonation. Taste sweet fruit and yeast. Similar to other Unibroue brews just not as good.
MrManning (1429), London, Ontario, Canada Jan 12, 2008 Bottle-Pours deep chestnut brown with a frothy beige head. Nice retention here. Lots of dark fruit and spices in the nose, some candied sugar, earthy malts. Pretty sweet dark fruit flavours (plum, black cherry), nice hoppy taste mixed with spices and floral notes. Sweet and creamy in the finish. Good. Glouglouburp (1915), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 9, 2007 In short: A dry yeasty dark Belgian Ale. Ok.
How: Bottle, 6 months to 1 year old. Drank some 6 months ago (backlog)
The look: Dark brown body with a initially big beige head that quickly recedes to a thing layer of foam.
In long: The beer felt rather dry without being roasted. Dry toasted raisins and other dark fruits. Some spicy notes. Moderately sweet. Too much carbonation. Really not much to say about this one. Not bad at all but for a Unibroue Belgian Ale this is so-so. Irresistible? Yeah sure, my cousin Louis calls himself that too. And you know, it’s a good thing he has a functional right hand otherwise…
rodenbach99 (355), Longueuil, Quebec, Canada Oct 8, 2007 341 ml, achetée chez Metro il y quelques années, bonne bière d’abbaye (en style) brune, dommage qu’elle soit disparue,aucune bière la remplace chez Unibroue. MikeF (523), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Oct 7, 2007 bottle
dark with bubbly whitish head. Aroma of light caramel and chocolate with faint fuity notes. Flavor thinner than the aroma would have you believe, nevertheless contains some complexity. Beerded_one (1570), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 5, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours a dark brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, yeast, malt, and some spices. Flavor of dark malt, caramel, dark fruit, and some notes of brown sugar with a sweet and bitter finish
