Unibroue 16

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

750ml Bottle: Sweet aroma. Smells of ripe dark fruits, malts, caramel, vanilla, and a little yeast. Poured orange/amber in color with a large, dense, tan head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of tiny and small particles throughout. Good lacing. Flavor is heavily sweet. Tastes of dark ripe fruits, honey, malts, candi sugar, spices, some hops, and yeast. Full body. Thick, viscous, syrupy texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, semi-dry finish.

Hazy golden body, white head; Very sugary bon-bon fruity nose; Sweet intense bitter body, interesting but not amazing; Long malty sweet bon-bon slightly malic finish. God but very strange and really for the right occasion.

A consistent brewery whose products I have always enjoyed. This anniversary magnum is similar to many of their other brews, and I find nothing wrong with that. Orange/copper in color with tiny spots of lacing, and a thin filmy head. Vibrant and well carbonated. Fruity aroma of white grapes, cherries, and lemons. Spicy and musty with a heavy yeast earthiness. Very sharp aroma, smells great. Filling and fizzy due to the high carbonation. Poignant alcohol bite that is harsh and welcoming. Flavors are mainly fresh bread with bakers spices along with grapes and some citrus fruits rounded out by a potpourri of fresh flowers. Bitter, peppery effect is noticed in the background. Familiar as are most of Unibroue’s strong ales, this one was very agreeable.

bottle bought at metzlers in denton tx. poured amber with orange hue and slightly hazy and a thick off white head with lacing. aroma had caramel, biscuit, and floral notes. flavor of spice, alcohol and raisins. med-high carbonation with some dryness. i thought this was a great beer.

Had this in my closet for a while, bottle gave a loud thundering pop when the cork was pulled, pours a medium ruby with peachy red, also, has the color of rose honey, gave a off-white foamy bubbled head, a one finger head prevailed thereafter, has a ton of effervescence, left nice creamy lacing on the glass, aroma of malt sweetness, dates and prunes, yeast and crusty brown bread, flavor of light dates and raisins, some malt sweetness, bread, mild bitterness at the finish, a hint of pepper on the palate, alcohol is hidden well, and this is pretty dry at the finish but this beer is not real sweet, this is a sneaker beer, mouth feel is creamy on the palate, has a medium mouth feel but is light and fluffy on the palate, a nice beer, lighter then the typical Dark Belgian Strong Ale, I enjoyed this a lot.

This one raged out of the bottle and settled nicely with a sudsy, but firm long-lasting off-white head. Colour was dark deep ruby with an orange-amber tint. Flavour of apples, spice, stewed pumpkin, and sweet brown sugar. Very Belgian in style and a high alcohol content that was hidden pretty well...the finish was a little bit hot but nothing too drastic. Overall, this was pretty good but did not exactly send me to the stars.

Pours a nice deep amberish golden color with a thick cream colored head. Sweet aroma of raisins, alcohol and fruit, was not very powerful though. Flavor is the fruit, alcohol and hints of vanilla. Carbonation is prevalent on the tongue, medium bodied feel in the mouth with a slight bite at the end.

Pours a dark reddish brown colur with and sticky tanhead. Aroma is malty, alcohol dark fruit and black licorice flavors. Taste is firm on the palate, Juicey fruits smoke and jerky aroma.
