Unibroue 15

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

Probably the most unspectacular unibroue I’ve ever had. Pale copper color, big fizzy head. A pretty pronounced spiciness but other than that it was bland and boring. Better luck next year.

Pours bright golden and hazy with a thin, mostly receding fluffy white head. Taste and aroma are peppery, sweet fruity and yeasty, cotton candy, bubble gum. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy bodied, and sweet as usual from Unibroue. The fruitiness of this falls short about midway through the finish, perhaps due to the greater precence of alcohol. Very similar yeast to the Edition 2004.

Doesn’t taste nearly as strong as it is. Pours wonderfully and maintains its head. Very cloudy with nice color.

.75L bottle: Poured a cloudy apricot color with a lasting head. Fruity aroma is very pleasant. Good flavor has a strong alcohol and a subtle honey flavor. The extreme level of carbonation left me a bit frustrated, however, as it was an excellent beer otherwise...reading other descriptions leads me to believe the bottle I drank had a higher-than-normal level of CO2...but this may not bother other consumers as much as it did me

Nice bright orange color. Very solid ale. Not lacking in any department, Sweet aroma, sweet flavor balanced well with lots of belgian attributes.

750 mL bottle shared with family over Christmas. App.: cloudy, orangey-amber, fluffy white head that starts big and fades somewhat. Aroma: honey, coriander, some figs and dried fruits, a touch yeasty, a bit of apple and pear. Palate: med. body, slightly astringent, soft yet bubbly carbonation. Flav.: honey, coriander, apricots, a bit sweet, and a somewhat alcoholic finish.

Bottle shared with the gang at Decemberfest 2006 -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a murky light gold with a large lasting fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet and yeasty with spices, fruit and light hops. Flavour follows the aroma but I liked it even more: Yeasty, spicy, fruity and with a bitter/alcoholic finish - -easy to drink and quite flavourful. Medium bodied. Really good and gets better the further you get into it.

Pours a hazy yellow color with a white fluffy head. Aroma is of light sweet malts and spices, nutmeg. Very smooth spicey flavor that finishes kind of sweet. Good mouth feel for such a light colored beer.
