Unibroue Don de Dieu

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Chambly, Canada

Probably the best name for a beer I’ve ever seen, especially to say it loud. Weird fruity, kind of sweet smell, but pleasant. There are berries and other dark fruits, and alot of tropical lighter fruits. Overripe mango, something else weird. Alot of honey in the flavor, and mango again, almost too sweet but just enough bitterness to balance that. Very good offering, one of the best from Unibroue.

The aroma of this bad boy is somewhat earthy, definately a distinct smell. the appearance is somewhat of a dull golden. The flavor is very nice, coming on strong with a sweet and almost fruity flavor and then abruptly after about 10 seconds it diminishes. This brew does a fantastic job of hiding the burn of its 9% alc/ vol. However it lacks the palate complexity i personally have come to admire.

This brew pours a cloudy golden colour with a quickly rising white head, but it dissipates before you know it. The aroma is pleasent, bread orange and nectarines. Taste is semi sweet, wheaty and tropical flavors.

33 cl bottle. Golden color, white head. Aroma is fruity and sour. Flavor is fruit, sourness. Nice carbonation.

Appearance: Nicely carbonated - gold & hazy coulor with a small but steady head. Aroma: Wheaty and yeasty some lemons too. Flavour: Fruit, yeast, wheat and some strawberries (?) with a nice lasting finish. Very enjoyable.

From a 12 fl. oz bottle with an blurred, indistinctable expiration date that looks like 05 05 10 . Pours a hazy golden tone with some off white head. The aroma is very unusual but also very yeasty. I think I noticed something fruity. The flavor is also on the yeasty side and carries a bit of a punch.. The marketing campaign says this is named after the ship used by 17th Century explorer Samuel de Champlain. For better of for worse, Samuel de Champlain is credited with discoverng the state of Vermont (where I grew up) and giving it its name "Verd Mont," which in French means Green Mountain. The state’s slogan is the Green Mountain State. Just a bit of trivia. As for the beer, it is above average but not something I would drink frequently.

bottle into glass. dark yellow with decent head. smells of citrus and honey. flavor is tropical and citrus fruits, mildly yeasty. gains in depth as it warms a little. great balance of hops and malts. a great beer.

Hazy golden, persistent creamy off-white head. Spicy, somewhat fruity aroma, light and curious. Spicy, lightly alcoholic, slightly sweet, fruity and tangy. Immediately light and playful, ending thick.
