Jun 28, 2008 Sampled during Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening tasting via Unibroue representative. Pours a hazy dark brown amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some roasted nuts, yeast and dried dark fruits. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of multi-grain malt, some extra yeast, dark fruits and a touch of spice. Finish is semi-dry with a malty grain aftertaste that has a second finish of tart berries and yeast. A multi-personality Belgian Ale best describes this beer.

Jun 26, 2008 Haven’t had this beer in years. Wow, what am I thinking about? This is a great beer. Competes with the best Belgians and the best of the American Belgians. Better than anything on that little list below us including the Westy 8 and The Rochefort 8.

Jun 26, 2008 Golden cloudy pour with a small white head. Malty aroma with a bit of spice. Sweet flavor of light fruits and spices and the alcohol comes through a bit towards the end.

Jun 23, 2008 Bottle into chalice. Pours cloudy brown with gargantuan pillowy , off-white head that settled in but stuck around for quite awhile. Aroma is kind of subdued -- yeasty, spicy, bit of sweet dark fruit. Taste is interesting -- prickly carbonation combines up front with spicy yeast and bittersweet dark fruits, opens up and finishes with spicy yeast, bittersweet dark fruits, with a lingering, dark fruit and licorice bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel has the carbonation spot on, but a bit watery. Interesting take on the style, great beer but has potential to be even better with a bit less watery mouthfeel.

Jun 23, 2008 Thick, fluffy off-white head atop an almost opaque, deep-red brown body. Not real lacing, but it might have been my slightly wet glass. Malty, sweet and spicy scent. Taste is slightly bitter and of fruit such as raisins/figs. Not as overly carbonated as others have remarked. Dark, flavourful and potent, but remarkable easy to drink.

Aroma is sweet, malty, barley, notes of alcohol in the nose. Flavor is sweet, malty, wheat, barley, slight bitterness. Medium-bodied with reasonable carbonation. Nice beer.

Jun 22, 2008 Updated: Dec 7, 2008Quality beer, but Belgian really isn’t my style. That being said, the aroma and flavor are both very good- above average- for the Belgians that I’ve tried. Laid back, fruity aroma that’s enticing. The taste is that of typical Belgian, but high quality. Lots of maltiness, banana, tropical tasting. Very laid back save for a bit of alcoholic bite at the end which is a little surprising for an 8% ABV beer. Fans of this style beer will love it. For me, it’ll probably be the last one I try. Just can’t get into them. Maybe I’ll revisit some more Unibroue beverages later on, but right now I just can’t seem to develop the taste for them.
