Pours a nice dark ruby/maroon with a pretty thin off-white head. The aroma is of sweet and sour fruits, lots of grape and berries I would say, with a bit of spice in there. The flavor continues to impress with tons of rich fruit flavors coming through, grapes and berries again. I can’t even taste the alcohol. The finish is nice and dry. The mouthfeel is pretty syrupy, but is balance out nicely by the carbonation. Very solid beer overall, I would drink this one any day of the week.

Jul 15, 2008 Pours an opaque black with a nice off-white head which lasts a while, but unfortunately didn’t leave much lacing. 2nd pour from the 22 oz bottle (about an hour later, re-corked) had no head at all. Quite sweet aroma. Fizzy mouthfeel and low bitterness. Somewhat sweet, carbonated and malty, but not roasted like a stout. Easy to drink, but a sipper, not a guzzler. At 9% this hits hard after a while, but doesn’t have a strong alcohol taste during enjoyment. Reminds me of the Schneider Aventinus doppelboch, in it’s Coca-Cola like sweetness, carbonation and darkness. Another winner from the always great Unibroue.

does not count  Jul 11, 2008 Trappist glass.Pours a dark brown with a beige head, poor lacing on the head. Smells of raisins primarly with other fruits coming in. Slight alcohol burn at first with a small amout of welcomed bitterness much like pecans in the aftertaste. Im glad i found this beer.

Jul 8, 2008 Pours dark black with a fluffy cream colored head. Sweet aroma of belgian yeast and plums. Flavor begins with slight alcohol then flavors of plums and brown sugar develop. Leaves a nice lingering spicy/sweetness in the throat and nostrils. Like a less intense Judgment Day, but still good. Really easy to drink for 9%!

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle aged for 1 year - poured a dark ruby color with a dirty white head. Sweet fruity aroma with a sweet fruity taste hiding the alcohol. Starts with a carbonated feel on the tongue that dissipates as the drink is swallowed. Leaves the mouth craving more. Definitely recommend trying this beer aged.
