Known for its Belgian-style brews, Unibroue seems to have an excellent understanding of the country's traditional styles, creating here a strong dark ale that rivals some of Belgium's finest originals. An upfront note of rich, bready malt is drizzled with buttery caramel sauce as well as accents of baking spice, brown sugar and raisin. Those notes continue through to the creamy, mouth-filling palate, while smooth flavors of toasted spice, light oak, brioche and caramel square join in. It's a big and satisfying beer, offering lots of concentration and depth in a wonderfully balanced and surprisingly drinkable package.
