Dark brown color. Small head with good lacing. Tried out of bottle. I really enjoyed this beer. More like a stout than a strong ale.

I like the Belgian strong ales they do but they all blend together to me. Big, alcoholic warmth, plum notes. I prefer the Ephemere and lighter offerings for some reason.

Pours like root beer from the 750ml. bottle: An infused nose of plum, grape, and alcohol pairs with a sweet malted, spiced, doughy, smooth carbonated flavor and body. Unibroue’s signature yeast flavors dominate. Drinkability: It’s enjoyable just how complex this beer is. Rebuy: Yes. #177 on 31102009 "BOO", DG.

Corked and caged Bomber via Bonster. Understated and gentle is where I must start with this on all fronts. Pours dark with some nice brown tinges at the edge of the glass. Nose is whispy and ephemeral but strikes of stonefruit and wet bark. Body is unassuming and gentle. Malts (not radios) appear as body progresses. This beer glides up on you and gently hits you like a bag of wet cement.

Draft at International Beer Garten (Lutz, FL). Pours a deep, dark brown with a ruby hue along the edges and a nice tan head. Has the characteristic Unibroue yeast aroma with the addition of dried fruit and grapes. The flavor includes more of the grape notes along with malt and yeast. Quite nice and the 10.5 is well hidden and not at all overpowering. Reminds me a little of their Trois Pistoles.

You think if the beer name was "Terrible" the brewer would try their best to make it taste good. Actually, is not great, its not terrible, is just okay. The to me the style was not so much as a belguim strong but an imperial stout with weak hops. The flavors come from dark malts
