Trader Joe's Vintage Ale 2010

This is brewed by Unibroue in Quebec, which is a highly regarded brewer of Belgian-Style Ales. I don't think I've ever tried a Belgian Dark Strong Ale before, so here's what I thought.  The aroma was similar to the clove-type aroma that I get from a Belgian Wit.  Must be the yeast.  The flavor was really sweet and had a kind of strange flavor to it which was similar to cola. In the finish, there was almost a buttery smooth feeling on my tongue, kind of like an oil or something like that. Based on one tasting of Belgian Dark Strong, I'd have to say I need to give it another try or three before I say I like it.
