RiverHorse (454), New Jersey, USA May 2, 2007 The beer pours a deep, dark mohagany, almost brown color. The head is thick and deep tan color with very nice lacing. The aroma was very fruity with hints of caramel, chocolate, coffee and candy. The thing that hits you the most with La Terrible is the mouthfeel and palate. Not at all what I expected from this baby. The finish is so smooth and enjoyable. What a great effort from Unibroque! Jvittorio4187 (255), Boardman, Ohio, USA Apr 25, 2007 I am very suprised I liked this beer. Had in a 750ml. Corked and caged. Pours a very dark black, semi thick. A light brown head that fizzes then fades. Alot of fruit on the nose. Smooth mouthfeel. Hints of rasins, dates, slight roast, alcohol, figs, and sweetness. The finish is massive dates and rasins then a delayed date hint. Very, very good. PilsnerPeter (2585), Flushing, New York, USA Apr 25, 2007 Bottled-cork & wire: Vintage 2004- Pours a very deep brown color; opaque with a nice ruby hint in the light. The very lively and bubbly tan head fades to a consistent film. Very fruity aroma. Light vinous qualities with hints of muscat grapes, prunes, figs, light citrus notes, with some chocolate & toffee in there as well. Has a very carbonated mouthfeel, almost harsh. The initial flavor is full of fruityness with elements of green apple, dark berries and fig. There’s also some light notes of oxidation and a wood hint, yet it has aged nicely. There’s a subtle sweetness in the middle reminiscent of brown sugar. The finish is the most impressive part of this Belgian Strong. It leaves with a nice roasty, almost earthy flavor, with light hints of tobacco, raisins, and roasted toffee. This is a nice Ale, and it’s a shame the mouthfeel is too abrasive. Other than that this is a very well crafted and enjoyable Belgian Strong. ghostmonkey (182), budd lake, New Jersey, USA Apr 21, 2007 750 bottle . . pours deep dark brown with a fizzy white head . . aroma is brown sugar, raisin, red wine, toasted marshmellows . . taste is dried fruit, cherry, sweet . . very cherry . . unique! . . good beer . . alcohol is well hidden Dredd (484), Ormond, Australia Apr 20, 2007 Complax brown Sugar/Raw Sugar aromas, pours with a thick brown latte like head, color is almost impenetrable black/brown.
