Commercial Description:
Strong Belgian type ale similar to a Port wine ! Is as dark as can be, mellow in taste with an aroma of ripe fruits. It can be compared to an old porto and is brewed from well roasted malt.

Pours and odd orange-brown with some very heavy sediment and foamy, off-white head that settles slowly and leaves minimal lacing. It had a slightly spicy aroma with a citrus bouquet. Very bubbly, crisp, clean mouthfeel- even more carbonated than the Unibroue Maudite. A very bright, fruity flavor with a nice spicenote, that finishes with a slightly sour fruit- like grapes almost- and leaves with a tangy lingering aftertaste.

The sediment almost put me off at first, and not seeing it mentioned in any other reviews confuses me. Maybe I bought an older bottle. But if it were aged, it was very mellow for a strong ale.

750ml bottle. One of my personal favorites. Black coffee color with a thin, lingering head. Highly carbonated mouthfeel. Malty flavor with wine-like fruits keeps me coming back for more.

Pours a dark red with a head that is thin but lasts. Definite sweet aroma, grapes and ripe fruit, almost reminds me of a wine. Sweet and fruity with a yeasty finish. No real aftertase, flavor vanishes kind of quickly. A very good overall beer, very drinkable and enjoyable.

Poured a dark reddish-brown with a thick light brown head. Sweet aroma with hints of apple and grape. Also, smells malty with a bit of caramel. The flavor is sweet and fruity with a wheat and yeast taste to it. It finishes almost with the same flavor as the Du Fin Du Monde. This is a good beer, but over carbonated and not a favorite.

Brown/amber pour, large lasting whitish head. Sweet aromas, some malt, yeast. Suprising amount of red fruit with caramel/toffee. Has a stick to it, but rather medium bodied. Quite a bit of carbonation, but it does not get in the way. Does improve as it warms. Not quite sure what to make of the Unibroue brews, it’s like they’re all the same beer with different flavorings added. Good but not great.

Beer # 900 for me. A huge tan head jumps from the glass during the pour. Dark brown beer with lots of red, it is almost the same color as the bottle. Aroma is full of sweet malt, fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is full of sweet dark fruit, sugar, yeast, wheat, and caramel. Very much a "Belgian feel" to this one. An enjoyable and interesting beer but not quite as good as expected.

12 oz. bottle - Poured a brownish red tint with large foaming head that faded quickly. Aroma is quite blahhhh, nothing really. Taste is ok, nothing that great, dry and grainy. Overall a decent beer but not at the level as I expected.

Bottle. Brown/red color with a huge head. Taste is sweet with lots of fruity notes,raisans,yeast and some spice. Easy to drink despite the 9%.
