Unibroue 10
Brilliant gold in color. Huge rocky head settles eventually to a thin dense partial cap. Nose is very malty and yeasty with some barely perceptable clove and anise notes. There is some fruitiness there as well. Simply huge in the mouth, with the flavor filling every nook and cranny. Tons of bready malt, with the fruit and spice notes definitely in supporting roles. Quite long as well. Great bottle-conditioned carbonation does its part to keep the beer from over-whelming the palate. Good beer, but a bit too much malt, and not enough complexity for me right now. I suspect I'll enjoy my second bottle (thanks to BA MJR!) after another year, or 18 months in the cellar.
