Decanted into a Sam Adams glass, next time I'll get a proper glass. Screw top bottle dataed Best Before 01-24-14.

Appearance a dark, slightly ruddy, murky, red/brown. I left plenty of yeast in the bottle but there is still quite a bit of cloudiness. Put up a good couple finger tan head with lots of body and some lace. Reduced to a thin froth on the top.

Smells of yeast, spices and olives. Bread smell is strong when the heads up but gets more subtle as it dissipates. Then note is primarily green olives and spices.

Taste has more spice to it. Cinnamon and cloves, maybe some coriander. I keep coming back to green olives... Slightly sweet. No hop bitterness to speak of. A very flavorful beer. Not as sweet or as much dark fruit as some other Belgian strongs, but very good. Alcohol is nicely subdued.

Mouthfeel a low-medium body. Mostly hits the front and sides of the tongue. Nicely effervescent. Refreshing and drinkable.

Overall a good Belgian Strong ale, not too sweet with quite a bit of spice. It is very tasty, but this much spice reminds me to enjoy in small doses. 1 or 2 bottles would be my limit.

I would get it again.

6th Feb 2013: in La Trappe, San Fransisco: sat in a dark area, so had trouble seeing the true colour of the beer, front label on bottle bright enough but my glass seemed to hold a dark orange brew within it, on top what looked like an off-white foaming crown.

Semi-sweet aroma with malts leading the way, with yeastiness and fruit esters just behind in strength.

The taste is a pleasant blend of biscuity malts and dark fruit flavours intermingled with yeast traces and some hop spruce hints. Very drinkable.

Body depth was fine and the alcohol sat nicely within the flavours.

I'm not usually a red ale type of person, but this beer can get one past that. It is a fine mix of hops and brandy like quality that make it a pure treat for the senses. The last time I had a Belgian style red ale this good was when I was in Belgium. The beer pours smoothly into your tulip ale glass with a substantial head and a bouquet of early sumer floral tones that whet the palate for its imminent arrival. A sip will not last long, as you will want to recharge your tastebuds posthaste and repeatedly. The colour, as you would expect, is on the red side of amber, but not crystal clear, nor too cloudy. As you can probably tell I liked this beer a lot and will search high and low for in on my many road travels. Frankly, I've had three different Unibroue beers over the past several days and they have all been brilliant.
