Unibroue 15

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

This was just a nice Belg. I was getting some interesting flavors in there... some white wine tannins, and some notes of brie. Enjoyed this enjoyably.

Bottle: Fruity aroma with cherry, light apple, and hints of banana. Unibroue yeastiness is there but not as powerful of a presence as in many of their beers. Also hints of cream, honey, flowers, and light spice. Pours a bright transparent amber, maybe even leaning towards orange with a small white head that lasts a minute or so. Like the aroma lots of fruit (apple, cherry, banana - in that order). Hints of honey. Unibroue yeast is there but not as strong as many of their offerings. Moderate peppery spiciness in the finish with some acidity and light orange peel. No alcohol what so ever. Light fizzy mouthfeel. Flavor is solid, but I would say that it’s a little lighter than most other Unibroue beers. Pretty good, but they’ve done better.

murky orange body with a huge typical unibroue head. my nose grabbed a mix of belgian yeast,corriander,sage,pepper,with a small dusty finish that tickles the nose a bit.flavor is a mix of banana,spice,sugar,and belgian yeast.typical unibroue.

Decent belgian strong ale, not as good as expected by Unibroue standards and by the price. Glad I tried it but won’t be searching for it in the future.

750ml bottle shared courtesy of egajdzis. Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with a large sized white head. Aromas of yeast, bananas, light bubblegum, cherries, and spices. Tastes of fruits, bubblegum, yeast, light spices, and cherries. The alcohol definitely makes itself known and needs some time to mellow out.

Bottled. Pours a light copper color with a frothy white head. Aroma is fruity with spice, pear and banana notes. Fruity flavor with notes of pear, apple, banana and bread. Finishes a bit sweet with almost no hint of alcohol. (other than that I just tried to spell "hint" with an 8 in it!) A fantastic beer.

Pours a nearly clear effervescent gold with a huge fluffy loose off white head. Clean, Unibroue yeast aroma, slightly sharp and minerally with malt and apple/pear esters and a bit of banana. A bit peppery in flavor, supported by sweet malt. Maybe spiced? Has some hop bitterness and yeast in the finish. Certainly another quality Unibroue product but perhaps not as inspired as previous years.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a longlasting white head. Fruity malty yeasty aroma with some spicy hints. Sweet malty yeasty fruity caramel flavor with some spicy hints. Sweetish malty yeasty finish with a long yeasty aftertaste.
