4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
750ml bottle, 2011 vintage, aged almost 2 years. Dark brown with a little red, creamy, hazy. Large sponge toffee head. Lots of lacing. Aroma has cloves, raisins, dates, brown sugar, musty yeast. Slight sour crept into the taste, but otherwise much like the aroma. Letting the beer breath for a few minutes and the sour dropped off some. Slight alcohol burn but just how it should be. Overall, this was really good. My third favourite Unibroue, which is hard in such a competitive field.

Des arômes épicées émanent de ce liquide brun très foncé, garni d’une mousse épaisse, se résorbant lentement en laissant une fine dentelle à mesure qu’on la déguste. Son goût est tout aussi épicé. En s’y remettant au nez, les fruits secs et la salsepareille la parfume, tandis qu’on détecte des senteurs de coriandre. Texture soyeuse. Alcool discret et réconfortant. Je devrais m’en faire des provisions. (H2812/1036/Q)(550-020313)

Bottle. Pours an extremely dark brown color with a moderately thick frothy tan head. Nose has some slightly sweet dark fruit elements that are somewhat reminiscent of a quad. Taste is slightly sour, but with a robust fruity element to it that makes for a remarkably easy drink. It combines a lot of elements I frequently don’t like, but it ends up being amazing. Very happy with this choice.

Tastes like every other unibroue. Belgian yeast and dark fruit. Not my thing.

UPDATED: MAY 5, 2013 Pours dark red-brown with a thin white head. Smells strongly like peppercorn. Tastes peppery and sweet with mild fruits. I swear I smell pepperonis. Pretty good.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
750ml bottle. A dark cola brown body, huge mocha head with excellent retention. Aroma of Unibroue yeast, raisins, prunes, herbal hops, slightly roasted malts and peppercorn. Taste is unexpectedly light and refreshing: yeast, raisins, prunes, light spices, herbal hops and a nice woodiness in the background. Alcohol very well hidden.
