Édition 2005
Poured into a Unibroue tulip glass from a caged and corked 750 brown bottle. 2005 edition logo on the front. Appearance - Poured a dark brown with a touch of redness to it. Nice dark white one finger thick head. Smell - I get some medicinal esters, a malt sweetness, and a touch of alcohol. Ever the faintest bit of spice too. Taste & Mouthfeel - Crisp up front, and then it flows into a sweet malty smoothness. On first sip I pick up a tangy floral taste with a little bit of spice in it. Smooth sweet malts come through as the beer settles in. Some dark candied fruit, maybe cherries? Got a little creamier as I got to the end and it warmed a little. A warming alcohol finishes it off in the end. Drinkability - A poor mans Trois Pistoles. A decent brew, but Unibroue has much better to chose from. Pick one up if you're curious, but limit yourself to the one.
