Unibroue 15

Formerly brewed at Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Chambly, Canada

750ml bottle. Aroma is musty, bread, & church attic. Sweet flavor. Tastes a bit musty. Hints of toffee. A bit spicy. Glad to have it.

Hazy orange yellow color with a fleeting white head. Sweet smell of cotton candy and pit fruits. Medium bodied. Fruity sweet yeasty bread flavor here reminds me of the Edition 2004. Alcohol is well cloaked. Nice enough. 12406

Pale, cloudy orange with big, creamy white head / Light nose of lemon and banana / LIght body with spritzy carbonation and light, slightly sweet and creamy finish / Delicate flavors of lemon, orange, banana, bread and coriander / Very nice, but a summer brew, I’d say.

Aroma is a sweet fruity yeast scent. Color is a hazy golden with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is crisp, sweet and fruity. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish comes in sweet with a fruity yeast flavor and a faint orange taste. Alcohol is perceptible in the after taste with a mild bitterness. Not the best brew Unibroue has done, its just not very complex. That said it is still a good brew.

Strong dry yeast aroma with mild alcohol. Hazy light orange color with a large white head. Bitter grape beginning that mellows in the finish and becomes slightly dry. Alcohol hidden very well in the taste.

Rated in Los Angeles while at the SCTE ET 2008 conference. 750ml bottle. Obtained from Whole Foods (Westwood). Rated from a hotel bar glass. Pours a very hazy straw / yellow color, thin wispy white head. Aroma is spicy with hints of vinegar and sour grape, possibly a rubber band or two. (reminds me of La Benite or possibly Don de Dieu) Flavor is balanced, starts off sweet, big malty bread like notes and then finishes with a spicyness that lingers for many seconds after swallowing.

Bottle. Golden orange opaque pour, light white head. Aroma very fruity, particularly citrusy at first, with some light spice notes. Becomes more appley soon, and as it warms more and more peary. Flavor also introduces some wheat, stays pretty similar to the nose, tended to get slightly too sweet at times, but that’s just being picky. Palate pretty typical, and good, for an amber-colored Belgian strong. Enjoyed this one a lot.

Cloudy golden/amber with a frothy white head. Belgian yeast, citrus zests, caramel malt aroma. Quite carbonated. Blend of the sweet malt and the citrus peel in the flavor. Bit of alcohol in the finish.
