Aroma is berries/fruit, malts and distinct yeast. The flavor is complex berries, Unibroue carbonation/effervescence, malts and a mix of spicy and mild/medium tart finish.

From the corked, caged 750 ml. bottle that is dated 06-22-2013. so It has some age. Sampled on November 22, 2015.
Reddish-amber pour with a quick lasting white head.
Loads of black current fruit in the aroma along with some yeast and spicy characters. But those are subdued.
The body is light to medium.
I love black current jelly/jam but I'm not sure if I love it in my beer. Still, this has a nice fruit aspect to it and a mild to low bitterness at the finish.
