Unibroue La Terrible

750 ml bottle shared at a beer tasting / monopoly game with my girlfriend and close friends. Poured a nice dark brown murky hazed hue with a nice light brown/tannish head that sticks around, in a decent amount. Aromas are chocolate and dark fruits, more somber belgian yeastiness. Taste is similar up front, mixing chocolate and sweetness into darker, dried fruits. My friend caught hints of coffee, but I did not. Raisins and plums mixed with the subtle cocoa. Yum. A nice bit of a bitter finish that has died a bit with aging. Still, a very yummy brew.

750 mL bottle. Pours a cloudy, deep ruby with a generous, dark tan head. Lively carbonation. Nose is strong on the alcohol and yeast with additions of raisins, black cherries, and raspberry. Taste is a cataclysm of different flavors: dark fruits, Belgian candies, sweet malt, yeast, spices. Finish is quick, dry, and hoppy. Another top notch Unibroue creation.

[Bottle] Pours a deep hazy gold with a large tan head of large bubbles. Aroma is alcohol and raisins with some candi sugar sweetness as well. Flavor matches. Sharp, well carbonated palate.

Courtesy of Tony at OTH. Pours black with brownish head. Aroma light dark fruits (cherry). Taste, medium carbonation with light hops. Some roastiness and dark fruits (cherry), malty with plenty of Belgian candi sugar.

2003: Slight fruit aroma. All berries and sugar sweetness. Strawberries, raspberries, elder, cherry, blue, black, and some apple. Pours a dark cola brown, patchy head. Candy fruit flavor, actually more like a liquor fruit flavor. Fruit preserve:strawberry jam. Palate is sharp with fruit and caramel.

Pours a dark, dark brown with a tan head. NOT what I expected from Unibroue!! Aroma of wine, earth, plum and grapes. Flavor is a jumble of varied things, which include but are not limited to chocolate, cherry, dates, and malt. All of this complemented by the trademark Unibroue prickly carbonation. La Terrible finishes spicy with cinnamon, and with more than a tickle of alcohol to let you know it isn’t screwing around.

Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks!
Pours a muddy dark brown with a light beige head. Smell is yeasty, almost cherry and gummy like, with raisins. Taste is creamy dark malt with raisins, dark fruity, belgian yeast, spices and bananas. Medium body and light carbonation. Almost a touch skunk in the flavor, somehow. Not bad, but not a favorite of mine.

Bottle. Pours deep ruby with a beige head. The aroma is fruity, like sweet apples, anso spices and yeast. The flavor is also sweet, but more along the lines of plums. Also spices, yeast and a bit bready. The finish is a bit dry. Very good.
