Dark pour with light tan head, larger than normal head. Aroma of caramel and coffee with some faint fruit. Taste of brown sugar, smooth for something with almost 11% alcohol. Fantastic finish.

2004 bottle. Poured dark. No light come through. HUGE head. Slight tan head. Calmed down quick. Smells like Asti champagne. Overly carbonated. Tastes like dirty Belgian candy sugar. Not a fan of this style or this beer.

2004 Bottle. Deep brown with a hint of red with a fizzy head. Aroma of pineapple, cherry, and apple. Taste has a lot of yeast to it with flavors of apple and cherry with some spices added in. A tad thin, but overall a quality brew that I wouldn’t mind having a bit more of.

Not as daunting as it would appear. Smooth, and malty with a nice, clean finish. Alcohol is well hidden. I liked this a lot. Unibroue always does me a solid unless it’s the 2006 Trader Joe’s beer, in which case they added nutmeg and ruined their perfect track record. This was mighty fine though.

Pours a dark brown, thick liquid, and smells great. Lots of malt, but a nice bit of fruit to balance out the dark malts. Standard Belgian yeast flavors, with a tad bit more malts. Not as extreme as you would expect based on the appearance. Nice beer.

750ml bottle. Pours a hazy dark brown with a massive tan head. Yeasty aroma with a bit of fruit. The taste and mouthfeel are interestingly close to Dr. Pepper. The taste is spicy with some licorice, plums, and the requisite Belgian yeast-imparted taste.
