Bottle at Paul’s tasting awhile back. Pours clear brown. Nose and taste of rubbing alcohol, pine nuts and toffee. Rubbing alcohol is especially strong in the nose. Past its prime.

Bottle from Raadhuskiosken, bornholm. Production date 11-23-2004. (rated 01-24-2011). clear nutty dark brown, smooth offwhite head. darker than what i had thought. quite faint aroma, the domnant note is cellary or mouldy notes. Beneath that you might notice a little bit of alc. decieving aroma, considering it’s 10% abv. Flavor is very moudy / cellary, also sweet caramelly, sweet malty and sweet dark fruity. apart from the cellary note, the rest is pretty darn well balanced and mingled together, more subtle flavors are licorice, syrup, figs, raisins. Retired at ratebeer, perhaps they don’t make tihs anymore, lucky i got to taste it.

750mL bottle, sent from Glouglouburp, pours dark brown / black with a small beige head. Aroma of yeast, light dark fruits, various spices, and bread. Flavour begins with dried fruits (figs, dates) and moves into various potent spices. Very nice, though not amongst their most superior brews.

Poured a hazy rhubarb red and brown with a super big creamy off-white head. Retention was very good. Lacing was thick and foamy. Carbonation was very high. The aroma was mostly the distinctive Unibroue beer on the lees scent. Wow, this beer is very smooth. For a 10% ABV, it went down very well. It tasted sweet, but not too sweet. The mouth was very complex. Berries were exploxing everywhere, and mostly cherries. There was a slight sourness and some bitterness at the finish. Fruits are all over, even the aftertaste is great revealing a full garden. I have purchased 2 other corked bottles (750ml) of this brew and have stored them in my cellar for future tastings in years to come (originally rated February 2005).

Rating number 2005 - I have been holding on to this one for this number. Sampled from a 750 ml brown bottle this beer poured a murky black-brown with a small khaki head. The aroma was yeasty, woody and sweet with a strong cherry presence. The flavor was sweet, tart and tangy with notes of apple, raisin, cherry, port wine, sugar, rum and tobacco. The typical Unibroue house character permeates the nose and flavor but I am very fond of that element. The beer is wonderfully complex and full. The finish is long with cherry lasting the most. Thick and full bodied. Wonderful.

Bottle thanks to lumpy. Pours with a small, off-white head over a murky brown body. Aroma is oxidation, cinnamon, alcohol, dark fruits, currants, raisins and yeast. Taste is dark fruits, raisins and oxidation, with a bit of dried apricots. Long duration finishing slightly metallic. A tad bit thin on the mouth.

Very dark brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, coriander seed, a tiny bit of vegetables and some honey. Medium to Full-bodied; Funky sweet taste of raisins and pit fruit and a bit of grapes then fading into a higher alcohol maltiness with more character. Aftertaste sweet, but very strong and the taste lasts very long. Overall, a complex and original beer. Definitely worth trying, if available - a large variation from 2004! I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 09-June-2005 at Jon(R888710)’s.
