Wrapped in a red cloak, this aromatic and complex beer reveals a scent of spice, orange and malt, followed by caramelized notes and a finish as hot as dying embers.
It evokes the Quebec legend of La Chasse-galerie – or flying canoe – which tells the tale of men who would risk anything for a night of fun, even making a pact with the devil.

341 ml bottle. Gusher. Pours a red brown with medium head. Malt and fruit with a hint of toffee to the nose. Rich and spicy taste with apricot and roasted malt flavors. Still a good beer

750 ml bottle into signature tulip glass, best by 4/6/2014. Pours slightly hazy reddish orange color with a foamy 2 finger off white head with good retention that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing on the glass. Aromas of big apple, banana, pear, plum, apricot, grape, molasses, pepper, clove, biscuit, citrus peel, candi sugar, and yeast spices. Nice and well balanced aromas with good complexity. Taste of apple, pear, grape, banana, raisin, pepper, clove, biscuit, candi sugar, molasses, and yeasty spices. Lingering notes of pear, apple, grape, pepper, and yeast spices on the finish for a bit. Great balance and complexity in the flavor; with no cloying sweetness at all. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a fairly creamy and chewy mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden at 8% with no alcohol noticed at all really. Very smooth to drink but is still definitely a sipper. Overall this is an excellent and very enjoyable Belgian ale as expected from Unibroue. Nice complexity and great balance; with smooth drinking for the level of alcohol.

75 cl bottle @ home, bottled 21.06(07?).2010
Aroma is sweet with berries, raisins and lots of candi sugar. Flavour is very sweet with lots of brown sugar, some raisins, ripe fruits. Also hints of toffee typical to aged belgian ales. A bit unusual and way too sweet. But not bad though, the raisins are nice here.
The cork was completely stuck, it took three tools and juovos to get it off.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Wine & Spirits in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed after a whirlwind of a week. Appearance is a dark, muddy apricot/orange/brown color with a thin white head that laces to the glass, looks very unique. Aroma of fruity esters, bit of clove/pepper & banana, smells good and complex. Taste is equal part sweet and yeasty, with high carbonation. I can’t really pick out specific things in this, good blending, it’s like caramel / light fruit combined. It’s good, not something I would go often but good for today.

Strong floral hops, great tangy aftertaste that ends in more latent florals. There’s a touch of sourness in the end but it isn’t unpleasant. One of the better Unibroues I’ve had so far. Also their best bottle picture...

1998 Vintage@Kulminator: murky, rusty brown, with a small white head & grainy black sediment @ bottom of the bottle, taste sweet with molasses, brown sugar, lots of Unibroue yeast, overripe dark fruits, slightly degraded, watery vintage taste, dry, clear presence of spices, kind of odd but very Unibroue & probably a bit over the hill
