Jan 14, 2009 (11/1/08) Bottle at Blue Palms in Hollywood. Dark brown color. Aroma of malt, some caramelized brown sugar and some plums. Malty sweet flavor with some sugariness, some fruitiness, very subdued roasted notes and yeasty spicy notes. Finish is slightly drier. Highly carbonated mouthfeel. A well made Belgian Strong Ale.

Jan 11, 2009 Updated: Jan 12, 2009Pours a very deep dark brown, about 2” tan head. Aromas of grass, esters (faint fruit). Mouth feel is medium body, slightly sticky. Initial taste is somewhat dry, hint of alcohol soaked sweet cherries, hint of dark chocolate, maybe a touch of caramel, carbonation is noticeable, slightly warming finish. Finish is sticky dry, fairly sweet, very pleasant.

Jan 8, 2009 Pours a super dark reddish brown (into a chalice, seemed much lighter as it reached the bottom)with a large foamy peach tan head that has poor retention but fades to a nice thick skin. Aroma is cherry, lime, plum, spicy yeast, citrus hops, and black tea. Flavor is unique and interesting, yeasty orange glazed dinner rolls up front, a little roast, caramel, dark chocolate covered cherries, fresh rye bread, belgian yeast spiciness, a musty earty note and some funk. FInish is pepper spice, orange zest, citrus hops and some mellow sort of old tasting bitter hops and a sort of spicy, citrus, roast and chocolate aftertaste. Body is light to medium with a great fizzy carbonation level (not too heavy or or light bubbles, just the right intensity) and a slightly sticky feel on the lips. This is really a fantastic beer,

Jan 7, 2009 Pours a very dark brown with some reddish notes in the light. A frothy white head forms when poured and has a medium carbonation level. The aroma reminds me of a very strong red wine, lots of fruit notes, some cherry and plum, mixed with some caramel malt tones. Flavor has a lot of dark plum and cherry notes, some spicy flavors, sweet caramel malt appears to be there as well but it’s not overwhelmingly present. The light mouth feel really emphasizes the alcohol present in this beer. Overall a great beer from a great brewery.

Poured into a Corsendonk Christmas Ale glass a very nice cloudy reddish brown color, nice carbonation, a very quick fizzy tannish head, not much sticky lacing on this one. The nose is very nice though, malty, lots of figs, plums, raisins, with some yeast and spices. The taste is malty, with some nice yeast notes, the dark fruits kick-in very nicely, with some spicyness. Medium body. Very drinkable, this brew has got to be close to maybe 8 years old, not sure when Unibroue produced this one, but it is already close to 5 years beyond the expiration date. Still very tasty. I have a few more bottles left, YEAH
