Unibroue La Terrible

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

750 ml bottle from premier gourmet. pours dark brown with a mis tan head. aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, unibroue yeast. flavours are sweet malts with dark fruit up front and a sweet berry finish. the unibroue yeast is also very noticable in the palate. very easy drinking and enjoyable. i wish this was one of the locally avalible unibroue products.

Pours an opaque black with only a hint of dark brown on the edges. The coca-cola head was long lasting and quite a bit of lacing. The aromas are strongly Belgian, sweet and warm with alcohol. Sweet at first with a nice touch of carbonation. Strong grape undertones, almost if you reduced a cup of grape juice down by half. The alcohol was surprisingly not over powering at all. Yeasty at the end with a nice warmth. Very balanced. Excellently crafted.

750 from Whole Foods, Durham. Deep dark pour, almost black with some gleaming brown in there. Big ass head. Yeah, it’s a Unibroue beer. This one’s slightly distinct from some of the other offerings, insofar as there’s a more pronounced fruity presence in both the nose and in the taste itself. Sweet malts are in there, with enough hops to keep things crisp and lively. But it’s the fruits that dominate, and it ends up being just a tad below some of the other solid offerings from these folks.

Bottle I’ve had in my cellar waiting for some time. Bought at the Utah state store. Pours a dark brown, almost black hue with a medium off-white head. The aroma is wonderful; tons of rich fruits, yeast, sweet candies and alcohol. The taste was similar; dark fruit; plum and grapes, a ton of yeast, and a sweet candy aspect that is nice and not overpowering. Strong, but not in any way too much. Awesome.

Bottle. Very dark ruby with little beige head. Not a lot of aroma - maybe tangy, possibly meaty. Medium body and carbonation. Intense and rich flavour, obviously of a Belgian strong ale style, but was not interesting or complex enough. Caramel and apples in the foretaste with abitter finish. It’s a good beer, but I was disappointed. It lacks finesse.

Unibroue La Terrible is an opaque, almost black ale. It seems to be an obscure berry hue. The head is the color of burlap, thick and foamy with oily bubbles. It exhibits excellent retention and lacing. The aroma has notes of molasses, plum, raisin, peach and chocolate. It has a smooth medium body that seems a little syrupy. It has a vinous flavor, with notes of prunes, chocolate, raisins and other dried fruit. It is smooth and a bit sweet. The alcohol is well hidden. This is a complex one. The aftertaste is of leather and coffee. This is one of my favorites; I’m glad I finally got around to reviewing it.

Dark brown/black in color with a small, off white head with decent lacing. The aroma is of oats and apples with a hint of white wine. The flavor is of apples and spices- tastes like a hefferwizen! The palate is syrupy. Overall i’d say its a unique beer with a unique taste which I didn’t expect from a beer so dark. A good beer, but not my style.

Bottle. Color of molasses with a light tan head and almost zero lacing. Aroma has a lot of dark fruit and caramel malt but I can still sense the alcohol. Flavor is mostly sweet, alcohol and the dark fruit. Very drinkable with less carbonation than most of the others by Unibroue. Impressive
