Bottle, Best before January 24th, 2011 Clear, reddish brown body. Enormously frothy, lightly brown head (air everywhere), which collapses quite swiftly. Somewhat alcoholic aroma of butter, yeast, caramel malts, banana, ... There are some hints of a sweet, sticky cherry liquor. Lightly bitter, moderately sweet initial flavour. Heavily bitter finish, which shows up quite lately. Turns out a little bit weak and also a little bit alcoholic. Strange combination as weakness and alcoholic seem to be 2 opposites, but this one really tastes like that. Can’t call it bad.

bottle - Pours up a huge, lasting head and a tastey looking red brown color. This beer was remarkably easy to drink for 10% abv with a nice, full mouthfeel. Malts and dark fruits bringing to mind cherries and grapes dominate the flavor. Thanks to Thedm and Hotstuff for sharing this excellent brew.

Do not serve chilled or cool or whatever the bottle says. Very dark and cloudy brown. Small but thick head that becomes rocky, and remains as a thin layer on top of the beer until the last sip. Cold immediately from the bottle the beer has little aroma, little flavor, and far too much carbonation; so much so that it seems to effect the flavor as footbalm said. After warming to room temperature there is malt, fruit, and very light spice. Flavor of rich sweet malt, some fruit. The alcohol is well hidden in the flavor. This tastes like a dubbel, but with the abv so high, it would be fair to call it a quad. Pleasant.

Dark brown color with dog food and chocolate in the nose, which was surprising for a Belgian Ale. Rich, chocolatey smooooth mouth with fig, chocolate and snuff and a big dry malty chocolately finish.

Very sweet, fruity flavour. Malty and candyish. Dark brown colour, smal light brown head. Quite well balanced between alcohol and malty/sweetness.

Bottled, different label with spelling Ultrabrune (BB 04/2009)
Dark ruby color, almost opaque. Decent brown head, lace. Malty and alcoholic nose, like in strong lager. Oily, wineous palate which alcohol balances well. Semi-sweet malty medium to full body. Dry aftertaste with oaky notes. Not very complex but extremely drinkable!

[Draft at ZBF 2004] A brown beer with a fine lazing but disappearing head. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty too - but with notes of roasted bread and aroma hops giving way to a bitter dry woody end.

(Draught) very dark, hazy chestnut; yellow-creamy head, very lacey. Faint smokey nose on top of obviously very sweet (molasses, liquorice). Very sweet taste, molasses and dark candi sugar - even soem "Traubenzucker". At the same time chocolate and coloured swet malts. Finish is surprisingly dry, aromatic in the way of a triple. Full-bodied, warming; "eating and drinking at the same time. Excellent balance. Ultra brune has always been my favourite from this Flemish Walloon brewer. It still is.
