bottle. average fizzy tan (quickly and mostly dissapating) head into dark brown body. decent lacing. aromas of dark ripe fruit, light licorice, light chocolate, but not as strong in aroma department as expecting. flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. alcohol warming was present but overall hidden well. light to moderate mouth feel. duration of finish was average. Good Good Stuff

0.75 l bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. Brown, almost black color. Honey and black currant in the aroma. Sweet honey, chocolate, perfume, rose and warming alcohol in the flavor.

Bottle: Pours a color that is reminiscent of dirty chocolate syrup with a smaller beige head. Aroma is light, but sweet and spicey with bits of Belgian yeast. Flavor is rich with dark malts, candied fruits, caramel, hints of spice, and somewhat viney. Very smooth, yet crisp and spicey finish. On the negative side, maybe a bit overly fruity. Still, very good. Thanks to my secret santa for this treat.

Bottle, 75cl corked. (RBNAG 07) Pours an almost clear, deep brown body with some microfloaties. Beige head. Sweetish nose with some dried fruits, beef-stock notes and a wee hint of cellar. Flavorwise it’s dried fruits, brown sugar sweetness and nots of cellar. There’s alcohol too, but it’s far from overpowering. Full, slightly sweetish mouthfeel. Yet another beauty from Canada.

2004 bottling (aprox. 3 years old at rating). Malt ball like nose with the combination of chocolate and malted barley. The mouthfeel is amazing, it is lush and silky with fine champagne like bubble that gushes out of the beer & fills the mouth like creamy cotton balls. Flavors have a bit of uncooked flour The finish is a bit rough with a raw, uncooked flour and sugar snap pea (vegetable) note. Over all a very nice beer

black pour with a khaki head that doesn’t last long. dried fruit and malts on the nose immediately. lots of carbonation and a slight alcohol burn (maybe that was all the carbonation). overall it was a very drinkable beer.

O those crazy French Canadians, this isnt so terrible... I was pretty surprised, as I am not a huge Unibroue fan but this was pretty tasty. Very dark for a Belgian style, and not overly sweet. I am starting to open up to the style but still am craving more hops.
