Unibroue 15

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

(750 ml bottle) Shady amber color, white head. Belgian yeast scent, pungent but still fresh. Some wheat beer smell. High co2 with spritzy mouthfeel and warming alcohol. Marzipan and alcohol taste. Bitter almond.

Pours hazy light yellow. Cardamom and coriander aroma. Sweet, ripe bananas and yeast. Stale, yeasty medium sweet Belgian flavour. Spices with soil and herbs. Like thousands of other Belgian beers – but from Canada: lots of heavy spices, too sweet and yeasty. Starting to get really bored of this genre. Medium body.

This corked and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop marked jan 15,2006 A06061724Q poured a very large sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that was long lasting and left behind a hazy typically carbonated dark yellow brown colored body and thick foamy lacing. The mild aroma was floral and malty. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start mediumly tingly at the finish. The thick flavor contained notes of malt spices and floral. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

Very creamy stabile head. Misty pour. Smells of apples, tastes like carbonated applejuice with vodka and yeast. V E RY fruity. Not much aroma of the kind I usually conect with a good beer. Overpriced and too strong in alcohol. Nah...

Bottled. Hazy golden, lively head. Perfumy pineapple aroma. Medium sweet with spritzy rounded mouthfeel. Cidery and lightly fruity with a lighter body than expected. Evident Belgian style yeast character, notes of grassy hops. Well balanced. Very good - as usual from Unibroue.

750mL bottle, (I think)bottled January 6, 2006. Pours a cloudy honey golden with a 2 1/2 finger creamy slightly yellow head. Aroma of some bananas, candy sugar, yeast, spicy hops and some dust. Taste is a lot more yeast and spice, some tangier fruits--apples and something citrus--come to mind. Dry slightly bitter finish. Alcohol is very well hidden. Highly carbonated and full bodied, though the carbonation doesn’t seem as sharp as some of their other brews.

750ml bottle pours slightly cloudy golden with a creamy white head that stays pretty well and laces the sides of the tulip. Aromas of yeast, spice, apple, honey, and a little bit of bannana. Flavor is very yeasty as well with notes of bannana, apples, honey, some light tropical fruit, and lots of grainy notes. Palate is light crisp and very carbonated with almost a fizzy mouthfeel but nothing that takes away from the brew..Alcohol is not found at all. This one was actually quite tasty and easy to drink for such a big brew.. Pretty nice..

Aroma: slightly funky, apples, honey, spicy yeast, citrusy, caramel, wheat, really nice, pineapple, fresh tomatoes, slightly of fresh plums, aniseed. Estery. Appearance: unfiltered, fruity golden (pretty warm). White head that quickly sets after fizzing for a short while (in a thin, sparkling manner). Flavour: forestlike, fruity, pleasant balance between bitter and sweet, vinous, very nice. Slightly liquoricelike and fruity sweetness. Malty & full-bodied for such a pale beer, actually it’s surprisingly full-bodied irrespectively... Perhaps a lingering malic acid taste. Alcoholic and white pepper aftertaste. Palate: although highly carbonated this beer is very smooth and rich, milky and vinous. Sweet snacks have a huge effect on the flavour of this beer. Yoghurtcovered strawberries made it taste fleshy and metallic in a nice way but I settled with gingerbread.
