bedainedebiere (274), Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada Mar 22, 2009 I’m cellaring a few bottles. The latest I drank only had 6 months old but was already sweeter, with more fruit and spices complexities than anyone I regularly had before. Remember: 10 YEARS aging potential, said a little booklet that was included in a Unibroue special package. It’s a beer I like even when fresh but don’t forget that it should be served at around 8-10 degrees celcius, at least... Maybe warmer.... lithy (1600), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Mar 20, 2009 Dark brown with a thin light tan creamy foam. Aroma is some dark sweet malts, some spice and a surprising citrus. Taste is more oranges, lemons, some darker plums and brown sugar then a nutmeg or cinnamon spice finish. suchen (81), , Pennsylvania, USA Mar 19, 2009 Pour was beautiful for a strong ale. Enticingly dark and mysterious with a medium head that doesn’t last. The aroma is rather dry as is the flavor, with the yeast dominating and complex fruity notes playing their parts as well. I am not a wine-lover, so there was not much in the dry and somewhat tart/bitter thing this beer had going. Very interesting dark Belgian though. GardenGabe (125), Denver, Colorado, USA Mar 17, 2009 Pour is rich brown some red. Creamy quick settling head. Smells of molasses cookies. Rich liquorish flavor nice malt and hop balance. Great Beer. meeple (52), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Mar 16, 2009 Bottle. Deep brown, small beige head. Caramel, brown sugar, chocolate, clove nose. Sugary sweet, lacking some of the complexity of other Unibroues, sour yeast finish. Overall not my favorite.
malrubius (969), Valley Stream, New York, USA Mar 11, 2009 750 ml bottle in Chimay glass. Reddish brown with flat head. (Anyone ever experience any lacing with this beer?) Toasted caramel dark fruit port woody yeast aroma. Fruity woody caramel with tobacco bitterness. Medium body and decent mouthfeel. Lingering mouthcoateing woodiness. Pretty good but slightly overrated IMHO. Could use more body and creamier fuller texture. .
