Dark, with a thin head. Big coriander aroma, with unibroue yeast. On the palate, it's coriander, maybe mace, liquorice, a bit of alcohol, dates, fruitcake, and Unibroue yeast. This one's quite complex.

My first new rating on Brewver. Similar to all of the past years with malt and light spice, sweet, but the palate seemed a little thin compared to past years. --- Beer merged from original tick of Vintage Ale (2024) on 18 Jan 2025 at 22:51 - Score: 7

Bottle: Poured a deep copper/brown color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention with some lacing. Aroma of sweet Belgian style malt with light caramelization and some spices notes. Taste is also a mix of sweet Belgian malt notes with caramelization and with some spiced notes for a semi-sweet finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation and light warming alcohol notes. Enjoyable Belgian ale with a good mix of spices.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a large beige head. Aroma has a nice spicy yeast expression, some licorice, light phenolic notes, some earthy bread crust. Flavour has notes of licorice, nice spicy yeast profile that features a touch of clove, and pleasant phenolic notes. Fairly dry, with lots of clove, licorice, and general Belgian yeast spiciness. Excellent as usual.

750ml corked and caged bottle. Barely translucent dark brown color. Fragrant, spicy aroma hints at orange peel, cardamom, allspice and ginger. Flavor is dark, sweet malt, orange peel, spice and dark dried fruits. Wonderfully smooth and quite flavorful. A couple of years of aging have undoubtedly allowed this brew to mellow. Quite enjoyable and a tremendous value at $5.99.

It's been a few years since I picked up one of these. Still 6 bucks. Trader Joe's aren't down in my hood. Pour is a murky brown with a large tan head. Aroma is dark candi sugar with some dark fruit. Flavor is dark fruit, candi sugar, allspice and molasses. Finish has some alcohol warmth with cherry juice. Still tasty after all these years.
