jameswolfe (95), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Jul 9, 2007 Its true, this is similar to Port. The thing is thoug if I wanted to drink Port, I woud do just that. I want my beer to taste more like beer. This is too sweet for my taste. It is complex and a good beer, just not my thing.
nbutler11 (161), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Sep 6, 2008 Pours like a Coke from the bottle, dark amber with an obnoxious tan fizzy head of foam. Smells of anise and malts with additional notes of caramel and milk cocoa in the flavor. Frothy mouthfeel, but definitely improves as it warms. Floback (251), N-town, Florida, USA Sep 4, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Pours an amber/black body with a large off-white head. Smells are dark and cloying with hints of chocolate malts and dark fruits. Flavors are nutty and wood chip-like, but also reminiscent of an Abbey Tripel or Quad with notes of banana, bubblegum, and clove. High carbonation and a full body seem out of balance here. This has a chewy mouthfeel and poorly masked ABV. Not bad, but definitely not my favorite from Unibroue. JuStuka (143), , Mexico Sep 2, 2008 Dark brown color, smells like caramel, chocolate, toffee and roasted malts, tastes of dark berries, caramel and a lot of alcohol. BeerGestapo (320), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 1, 2008 (Canada) Pours a very dark brown wih a sm white head. The aroma is of caramel, toffee, roasted malts, and chocolate. Taste of caramel, malts, dark fruit, and a hint of vanilla. The mouthfeel is sticky sweet and robust. The 9% is hidden very well in this belgian strong ale. Do yourself a favor and buy some soon. :) espenra (106), Oslo, Norway Aug 31, 2008 33cl bottle. Gift from a friend. It poured a dark red-brown colour with a huge beige head that settles down fast in the glass. The aroma is fruity and smells of dark berries and malts. It has a slightly bitter flavour that tastes of dark berries, raisins, caramel, and of alcohol. It has a short aftertaste.
