Here is a sumptuous ale reminiscent of the classic Black Forest cake. Its roasted malt aroma and dark chocolate flavours are the perfect complement to the delicate fruity accents that lead to a slightly tart finish.You’re in for a treat with our Black Forest without having to give in to your sweet tooth.

Bottle from the lcbo. Dark brown pour, large beige head. Aroma is malty, sticky sweet and really nice cherry. Very lively mouth feel, good carb. Finish is fruity, typical unibroue yeasty flavour, chewy sweet, brown sugary malts, and more cherry.

750mL bottle, pours black / dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma brings out loads of cherry juice, black forest cake, candied sugar, and Belgian yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of signature Unibroue yeast, black forest cake, and black cherries. The yeast outdoes the sweetness, which is pleasing. Not one of their most complex beers, but this is very solid.

750c&c from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Opened with a loud pop/whoosh. Pours dark brown with a huge foamy beige head that turned to froth. Aroma of dark cherries over sweet dark malt. Med body or a bit more. Flavor is dark cherry and dark malt. Actually rather towards dry, surprisingly. Sort of bitter cherry with some unparsable spice. Very enjoyable.
