Mar 16, 2008 A rock solid entry from the boys at Unibroue. Pours a deep cola with a big off white head that eventually deteriorates into a decent ring that lasts. Aromas of soft fruit, alcohol, and fresh vinyl. Flavors of sweet malt, with more fruit, apple, spices like nutmeg, and a rich bitter hop. Great stuff.

Mar 16, 2008 Dark brown with a decent head. Sweet malty grain aroma with some honey and carmael. Taste is caramel, licorice and orange peel.

Mar 14, 2008 Bottle from Utobeer. What was left in the bottle poured a murky brown colour with frothy tan head. Aroma is of dark fruits, malty, toffee, some spices. Taste is liquorice, chewy, creamy and full bodied. Nice effort but not one of the best.

Mar 11, 2008 Updated: Mar 12, 2008That classic Unibroue pour and aroma. Pours near black with a medium beige frothy head. The usually Unibroue sweet grain aroma but with extra sweet and lots of licorice. Very fragrant. The flavor is like drinking very airy bubbly black licorice. Some orange and coriander as well. Pretty sweet and very rich finish. The malt is roasted to perfection. A slight woody finish. Not the most well crafted brew, but it is delicious.

Mar 11, 2008 While this is a great beer, it does not match up with others of it’s class. For a darker beer it has a surprisingly warm feel but is lacking in complexity. I would recommend a St. Bernardus Abt 12 and other Trappist ales over this beer. While this beer does have a high alch content (9%) St. Bernardus (10%) has a higher content as well as others so this should not enter into the equation.

Mar 9, 2008 Nice dark ale! First had on tap. A little sweet at first, but pleasant aroma and aftertaste. Higher alcohol content not noticeable in flavor. Smooth drinking and will definitely drink again.

Mar 8, 2008 Updated: Mar 9, 2008The ideal winter ale for me...rich, malty, subtly spicy, nice caramel, and that touch of Belgian yeastiness. The finish is long, smooth, and warming, and the body is velvety, and slightly creamy. Yum!

Mar 7, 2008 Not 100% on board with the trois pistoles craze, but a good beer nonetheless....
