Bottle: Hazy gold/copper pour with no head. Aroma is very strong; lots of spice, pine, mint, plum, pear, and some giner. A hint medicinal. Tastes a bit more medicinal with a rough fruitiness. More mint and pear, the ginger plays a stronger role now. A summary would be a hint of vinegar mixed with fruit juice and a sprig of ginger. Still a fun brew, thanks Jeremy for sharing.

Bottle made 05.05.04...4 years and 4 months. Pours with a large, thick off-white head covering a hazy golden body with some slight particles towards the end. Lots of lacing and very good retention. Aroma of candi sugar, spices, appricot, cinnamon, clove, pears, honey. Tast is strong yeast some honey a bit of fruits and herbs. Slightly dry with light carbonation. Some light oxidation. Alcohol taste is mild, but there is some warming in my stomach. Aged well, but probably near or at its peak.

Bottle, 75cl corked, shared by the generous thewolf. Hazy, orange-golden body with a minimal off-white head. Ginger and cardamom start on the aroma, with malt and fruits in the background, some yeast as well, but not much. The alcohol is mostly on the same level, with spices up front, and malts and fruits in the back, as well as a alcohol touch. Quite sweet too. Warming, full-bodied, sticky mouthfeel. Spiced and alcoholic finish. It is a bit sweet and spiced, probably needing something to eat along with it. At least on it’s own it’s not the best Unibrou beer I’ve had. (080301)

bottle - Pours hazy gold with no head. It smells of malt, yeast, and a touch of alcohol. It’s flat. I would have expected a high abv Belgian strong ale to be good for aging so I didn’t think the nearly four years of age on this one would be a problem, but it seems that the seal wasn’t too good. So anyway, it tastes sweet and yeast with a hint of citrus, but mainly it’s syrupy sweet. It has a somewhat alcoholic finish, but mainly it’s just flat and sweet. It’s not too bad, but the age didn’t do this bottle good.

Aroma is spicy, yeast, lemon, some other light fruit notes and some alcohol. Very pleasant. Similar flavor, though I would have like it to be a little more intense. Very enjoyable, though.

Bottled. Golden colour, lots of particles. White mediumsized head. Aroma is very spicy, vanillaish and some berries. Flavour gets pretty much the same stuff out of it, along with quite much honey and some nuts. Wellbalanced.

Bottled 75 cl
Hazy orange color, not much head. Intensive menthol and peach in the aroma. These are also in the flavor. Interestingly I can trace same elements than in Finnish mead: raisins, lemon/orange peels and sweetness (honey). Some combinations in the flavor are not really matching very well.
