ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Jul 21, 2006 750 ml (2004)- Poured very dark brown with a frothy tan head that fell quickly. Sweet and spicy (like a ginger snap cookie) with a slight hint of fruit. The flavor throughout is good but the finish is "terrible", too pungent of an alcohol tastes that lingers a bit to long. Numenor (869), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 8, 2006 Updated: Jan 12, 2007Frothy tan head over a dark brown body. Aroma typical of Unibroue, spicy and fruity. Taste is almost port-like, with some additional medicine qualities (not in a bad way), very soft. Smooth ending, nice spice with some light fruit. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 8, 2006 Dark dark brown color with a large creamy light brown head. Sweet spiced aroma with some fruit shining through. Sweet fruity flavor, some molassas and spice in the end, somewhat warming from the high alcohol. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Jul 6, 2006 75-cl ’04. Pours gorgeous dark brown with a big falling tan head. Overbearing pears and green apples on the nose. Almost caustically fizzy. Ginger, molasses, dried fig, and prunes on the mid-palate, with a puckery long sour finish. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark Jun 25, 2006 75 cl bottle - 2004. Yeast at the bottom. Very dark reddish brown colour with a nice head. Lovely aroma of wheat, dried fruit, sourness, yeast and spices. Complex flavour with notes of dried fruit, spices and yeast. Ends up with a warm feeling from the alcohol. beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA Jun 21, 2006 (05.13.06) Sampled at DiCarlo’s Spring beer tasting event. Bottle. 10.5% ABV. Poured hazy brown with small white head. No discernable carbonation. Spicy sweet malt aromas. Medium bodied ale that starts with moderate malt sweetness and caramel, spicy (coriander?), fruity (dried orange peel?) flavors. Complex flavor character. Finished dry with light malt fade.
