T - Whisky malt is apparent. It has a crisp bite. Maybe a sour apple finish. Very good.

M - Pretty high carbonation. Crisp mouthful

D - Very good. I would like another one.

3.89/5  rDev +0.5%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

A:
Pours a murky butterscotch color, if there isn't light behind it almost looks greenish. It has a light one-inch head that thins out to a thin layers of tiny bubbles.

S:
Smells really dank and earthy to me. It does have a sweet yeasty musk to it as well (as seems to be the case in most of their beers), but is mainly a smell of fresh cut grass with some citrus aromas.

T:
Comes onto the tongue pretty crisp and pilsenerey. There is definitely a smoky, whiskey presence to the taste, but nothing shocking by any means.

M:
Some nice grassy, smoky notes and a really nice level of carbonation. Short aftertaste. Well-balanced on the whole.

O:
This is one fine brew! I really enjoyed every aspect of drinking it. It was really well-balanced, neither too sweet nor too bitter. It also wasn't super yeasty (like some other beers they put out--not that yeast is bad or anything). Really refreshing, too. In this respect it also benefits from not having a super high alcohol content like some of their other beers. I would have it again. And again. I'd even tell my friends.

3.54/5  rDev -8.5%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5

341ml bottle poured into tulip.

A - pours a dark orange/light brown colour. One finger head.
S - typical Unibroue Belgian smell, sweet, fruity, bit of spice, whiskey.
T - sweet, belgian spice, some orange, bittersweet smooth finish, some whisky hints, smoke lingers.
M - heavy carbonation, tingle stays on the palate long after.
O - I'm not a huge Belgian guy nor whisky guy, but this is interesting nonetheless. The whisky and smoke flavours are pretty subtle. Smell was't all that distinct from other Unibroue. Surprisingly, this is only 5.5%, making it near sessionable territory. I would drink this again, probably wouldn't pick it over some other Unibroue's though.
