Bottle, Trader Joe'�s Bellingham. Dark brown. Big head. The aroma has a nice floral note, esters, classic Unibroue aroma. The flavour profile is excellent, lots of dark malts, spice, a bit of coriander, toffee, coriander, splash of alcohol. Solid effort yet again.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a medium beige head. Aroma exudes a complex, spicy Belgian yeast character, a touch of leather, and some molasses. Flavour is nicely spicy, with molasses, leather, spicy Belgian yeast, and a touch of phenols. Spicy, slightly above carb, with a dry, phenolic finish. Good stuff as usual.

12oz can best before 06/04/24, drunk 1/25/24. Clear, pale golden. Sweaty, funky, farmy. Wow is this a French style mass produced farmhouse trader Joe's cider? I have to say, this is nice. Sweet, not too much so, more body than sugar. Sweaty, farmy, rustic, lightly lactic. Juicy. Lingering vanilla and honey.

Pour is a clear dark amber with a large tan head. Aroma is sweet molasses with dark fruit. Flavor is sweet dark sugar, toffee and a sugar covered dark plum. Finish is dark fruit all over the place. Very tasty but sweet and I think this can cost all of a $1 at Trader Joe's.
