Unibroue 16

Wonderfully complex dark strong ale. Raisins, plum and caramel dominate the flavor, with a slight woody hop accent present. Thick, but well carbonated, ale, with a richness throughout that doesn’t reach creaminess. Allspice, grapes, , nutmeg, vanilla, cherries. It is hard to describe all the flavors in this beer. Who needs wine.

750ml Caged/Corked Been sitting on this one for over a year. Poured into a Unibroue chalice a nice dark golden orange color, awesome carbonation (huge loud pop on opening), nice one-finger creamy off-white head, lots of small islands and sticky lacing. The nose is malty/yeast, good dose of spices, and slight caramel. The taste is slightly sweet at first, malty/yeasty, just the right touch of spices, and caramel. Medium body, well rounded/complex brew. Very drinkable, another one in the line of great brew’s from Unibroue.

Thanks Tom! Good looking burgundy body with a rich off-white head. Dark fruit, chocolate, and spice in the nose. The taste is quite sweet but balanced, and the age has done this one some favors. The yeast is under control and kept in check, and overall it is very easy drinking Belgian. I think I only like Unibroue beers with age on them..

Pours clear copper with a nice off-white head. Big fruity nose. Fruity-sweet in the mouth. Execllent carbonation. Bitterness in the finish as it warms. Unibroue delivers again.

I was amazed that they still had this at the package store so i had to pick up a bottle. The color is a cloudy orange amber with a thin white head. The nose is nice and fruity with citrus and berry hops there is also some hints of apricot. The flavor is very bitter and full of light fruits with a sour funk in the after taste. There is a lot of spice and a bitter kick in the after taste. Overall it is a great brew and it is rich and full bodied.

Dark amber, balanced, dark fruits, spicey, caramel, citrus, little bitter kick.

[Bottled. Two years old] Cloudy dark amber. Marcipan, pepper, apricots and other tropical fruits. Thick and oily palate. Very spicy and fullbodied.

This beer, while not too bad, was not really enjoyable to drink. It was too much. The sweetness and bitterness did not complement each other well, but instead worked together in creating abhorrence. Despite the intensity of this beer, there was not really any stand out malt or yeast flavor. Lively mouthfeel. All around harsh. Yeast definitely contributed to the harsh kick.
