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.
