Aroma is largley fruity lots of cherries and apple in there. The flavor is drier than the aroma, certinally some cherries some well pronounced and nice warming alcohol, just mildly hoppy a little musty and yeasty. Pretty nice!

Hazy orange with a beautiful creamy white head. Glass lacing is very nice also. Big fruity yeasty aroma. There are hints of dark fruit, plums and cherries. Flavor is sweet up front then some cherrt and bready malt. Medium body with an outstanding mouh-feel. Just enough thick syrupy feel balanced by a creaminess all followed up by a lightly dry finish. Overall a very nice beer. One of Unibroue's better efforts.

This is easily one of my favorite beers from Unibrou. This never fails to reach it’s mark. Aroma is sweet, slightly hopped, a bit hot. Nice dark appearance gives you that brooding feeling. Mouthfeel is full and hot. Flavor is alcohol, sweet, a bit spicy and always pleasing. Great during the Fall/Winter months. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Pours a cloudy brown oragnish color with a thin off-white head. Phenolic aroma of pine, dusty yeast, spice, alcohol. Taste is mellow and refined with subtle Belgian fruits overlaid above the background of mild toffee sweetness. A bit of spicy yeast in the fiinish. Medium bodied with heavy, lush carbonation. An enjoyable beer, but not as satisfying as La Fin Du Monde or Trois Pistoles. Unibroue relies heavy on their yeast to define their beers, and this is no exception. Still, I wish I had their yeast strain.

Tap. Mahogany pour. Offwhite clingy head. Aroma and taste of fig, black cherry, and maybe a couple other fruits. Pretty darn good stuff.

Orange/brown color,small white head that faded quickly but left behind a decent lace.The aroma was fruity,sweet and maybe just a touch sour with a decent raisin like hint as well.Very nice flavor of fruit and malt medium sweet with a nice carbonation to make all the flavors dance on the pallate.I know the alcohol is there but not very strong,but fairly well hidden with just a light warming as it goes down.Very nice brew and i have to Thanks Mr_K for sending this one my way.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JUL 4, 2003 Gorgeous orange/red/brown color. Immense amounts of tiny bubbles and a slight haze make it nearly opaque. Not surprisingly, the head is a perfect half-inch and is fluffy and beautiful with staying power and sheets of lace akin to a nitro-can brew. Sourdough and yeast in the aroma with a hint of banana. Some spice up front. Creamy mouthfeel is complemented by the fine carbonation. Sweetly malty with some apple tartness. Has a definite wheat character. Yeast is a also apparent. Hops come alive as the beer warms, adding a pleasant bitterness and some citrus flavors as well. Somewhat short but clean finish. I enjoyed this down to the final remaining drop in my chalice.
