look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Poured into an oversized wine glass from a bottle purchased Nov/2011

A - Much like a cola, it has a dark brown, slightly ruby shade. Small but high-retention cream head, with messy lacing

S - Pretty much malt and that signature Unibroue yeast. This doesn't have the spice of, say, La Terrible, or the phenols of La Fin du Monde, but still smells much better than most.

T - Probably the defining characteristic, the taste is spicy, with a small alcohol bite. Almost smoky aftertaste, but still fairly sweet.

M - Creamy, low-medium body. Can hang in your mouth a while despite it's high ABV.

D - Other than La Terrible, this is probably the least drinkable Belgian Unibroue, and for good reason: it's spicy, sweet, dark and alcoholic. I much prefer the standard 11oz to the more-common 26oz

Overall, a great beer, best enjoyed slow, while watching a movie or reading...or studying! Better without food
