750 mL at room temperature. Drank on 2006/11/03 (aged 1 year). Dark brown opaque beer. Keeps a beige foam lacing. Medium carbonation. Strong wine and port aroma. Plum and caramelized malt. grapes. In mouth: sweet roasted malt taste with intense port and plum/black cherry flavors. Medium bitterness with some roasted coffee/black chocolate notes. Some spicy notes revealed at the end. A warming beer wtih its 10,5% Alc. Really great. Too bad Unibroue discontinued its production.

Oh man. What a treat this is going to be. 750ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a small tan head and light carbonation. Beautiful!!! The aroma was an instant blast of over ripened fruits (plum, cherry), malts, mild sourness. Every once and a while you know right away you are in for a treat just from the aroma. Flavor is tart boozy fruits, rich malts, maybe hints of black licorice. I can feel it starting to warm my gut. Flavor is so smooth you would never guess it is 10.5% alc. Served in a De Koninck glass. A truely beautiful beer.

750 mL bottle rating. Pour is pitch black and opaque. Thinner head than many belgians. More stoutlike in appearance. Dark candied fruits, namely raisin, fig, as well as some tobacco and spices. Very strong and complex flavors. This is a real treat and is my favorite Unibroue beer to date.
