ElGaucho56 (379), USA Sep 2, 2007 Pours a reddish brown when held to light with a slight frothy head that continues to develop through the pour of the 750ml. Nose of Unibroue yeast, berries, molasses, alcohol. Medium full body, bitterness towards a vinous finish, yeast tart,cloves, some raisin, plum; like most Unibroues, the champagny yeast comes through quite strongly. Probably their best beer.
Floback (249), 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 (319), 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 (105), 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. SoberCajun (10), Somerville, Massachusetts, USA Aug 29, 2008 The best Unibroue I’ve tried so far. Really drinkable but satisfyingly strong at the same time. Amazingly complex flavors mask the alcohol well. Almost flawless in my opinion.
