Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a goblet. The color is a very murky, dark brown, with a thin head of tan foam that sticks around ever so slightly. Some lacing along the side of the glass.

The aroma is of dark cherries, raisins, lots of spicy clove, and some cinnamon. Malty sweetness quite present. Perhaps a hint of chocolate.

The flavor is spicy up front with lots of clove, but finishes with the cinnamon. The darker fruits come in the middle; raisins, figs, and cherries. Not really any bitterness to speak of, from what I can detect.

Mouthfeel is medium carbonation, creamy. The sweetness and cinnamon-like spiciness lingers into the finish.

This is a very good beer. The clove spiciness could be a little less, but the flavors all meld quite nicely to make a delicious beer. This is a beer that could definitely improve with age.

A - Pours a dark raison color (mahogany/burgundy color) with a thin even, creamy layer of toffee colored foam.

A - Raisons, figs, Belgian spice, red grapes, light pepper, slightly bready.

T - Belgian spice, pepper, cloves, plums, cherries, earthy, slightly musty, red grape skins, figs. All the flavors are balanced throughout and the alcohol is completely masked which makes it deceptive.

M - Light medium body with silky light carbonation and lip smacking sticky.

O - Unibroue is a solid brewery and IMO dos a fine job.

Serving type: on-tap
