COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Launched to celebrate Unibroue's 11th Anniversary, 11 has a rich aroma reminiscent of ripe fruit and fig, and is accompanied by a delicate spicy after note. The taste is complex and its body more than generous. This unique strong beer is warm and intriguing whilst remaining smooth and delicate. With its 11% Alcohol, "11" is the highest alcohol content beer in Quebec. Produced in limited quantity and sold for a very minimal price for its quality, only about 6000 cases of this special brew will be sold.

deprogram (112) - Renton, Washington, USA - AUG 7, 2003

0.75 l bottle Top marks (or as close as it gets for this rater - will there ever be a perfect beer?) in the elegant gold-lettered bottle, with the champagne-like pour and sprightly palate. Aroma sweet-scented, banana, vanilla, hawthorne flowers. Yes! How they conjure this from grain and yeast I have no idea. Misty golden in the glass, light on the tongue, the feel of champagne without the cloying sweetness of the grape. Admirable. Lovely. And other adjectives, I'm sure.

SDquaffer (18) - San Diego, California, USA - AUG 6, 2003

Wonderful presentation, pretty to pour, with a champagne-like effervesce; A solid triple, sharp on the tongue. I hope this one ages well...

Dogbrick (4522) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - AUG 5, 2003

Sampled at From The Vine monthly beer tasting Aug 4th, 2003: Pours a cloudy blonde/gold color with a thin white head. Thin and quick lacing and very effervescent. The aroma is very wheaty with a bit of citrus and malt too. Slick body with lots of alcohol up front, with intermittent fruity and malty flavors making themselves known. The finish is very fruity and sweet. An interesting Canadian Belgian but really nothing to write home about.

Trig (4) - Howell, Michigan, USA - AUG 5, 2003 does not count

I liked the ten and didn't think The eleven would be as good. After drinking it for a while I rate it higher then the ten. The best beer I ever had. The price is high and worth it. Very strong and not too sweet or too bitter.

JMerritt (1568) - Macomb, Illinois, USA - AUG 3, 2003

Cloudy golden, medium white head that is mostly diminishing but leaves a spectacular lacing behind. Somewhat spicy, mild citric aroma rounded out by sugar cookies. Surprisingly sweet flavor initially that turns musty, thick and malty. Smooth, silky mouthfeel interrupted only by small pricks of carbonation bubbles. Alcohol is rather prevalent in the aftertaste.

CaptainCougar (6747) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - JUL 28, 2003

Hazy golden color with a large white head. Aroma of bready Belgian yeast and some spice. Flavor is semi-sweet, smooth, and mellow. Well balanced body of sweetness followed by light bitterness and some alcohol. This reminds me very much of the Unibroue 10, but could use slightly more time aging.
