Can't get it in MB. My girlfriend was so kind as to pick up some for me in Montreal last month. 750ml corked bottle. Classy.

Opens with a great pop and an explosion of dark and fruity smells. Nearly opaque, but you can see some bubbles clinging to the glass. Big Belgian head that's a slightly brownish-purple colour. Frothy and inviting with a slight lacing. Smell is spicy, sweet with dark fruity aromas, plums, slightly yeasty and almost wheaty. Comforting and zesty at the same time, as Unibroue beers always seem to be.

Taste is extremely potent, an explosion of complexities. Tons of spice, the comfort of all that Autumn fruit combined with the zestiness of coriander, cloves, and maybe even a bit of cardamom. Some caramel perhaps, and that wonderful wheatiness and yeatiness that truly makes this an incredible dessert beer. Well hidden alcohol. I could seriously savour this for hours. Zippy on the tongue, but soft in the throat. Slides down like nothing, but I can't help but savour each mouthful for an extended period of time. This is a great sipping beer. An excepional offering from Unibroue, cheers to the greatest brewery in Canada.

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
