Unibroue La Terrible

2003 bottle. Pours a dark brown with an aroma of dark fruit, caramel, and spice. Flavor of caramel, spice, dark fruit, and cocoa. Decent carbonation. Very nice!

very dark, deep black color, shades of red and brown shine slightly through when held up to the light. smells faintly of cloves, plums; that character of the yeast i smelled in the trois pistoles. tastes the same, clove, plum, raisin, with a sour note that comes in later. I taste a little coriander, but much more in balance than the coriander bomb that was la fin du monde (for me). hidden alcohol that warms the throat slightly. overall a very good beer, something i wouldn’t mind buying again.

Bottle. Appearance: black with a soapy off White head. Aroma: smells like unibroue. Yeast, malt, caramel, lemon and spice. Flavour: spicy malt, hop, alcohol, slightly sour, sweet and with a bitter finish. Nice.

Leo’s South Point, OH - What do you get when you brew a dark beer in the Belgian style? Something La Terrible...but really tasty. A plum, grape, and alcohol infused nose rises from a Cherry Coke color body giving the beer a smooth, yeasty, and nicely carbonated flavor and body. For a "Dark Belgian," this beer doesn’t disappoint.

Incredible spicy, bold aroma. Pours black with a huge airy head. Fist taste seemed a lil off putting. The fruitiness eventually grew on me like a genital wart that’s scary at first sight, but you later learn to love. I’m sure this is an excellent brew for those that are into this type of thing. Didn’t quite do it for me.

Poured very dark brown, dark fruits, caramel, nutty, spice, alcohol, little granny smith apple, little yeasty, little roasted malts.

Rerate after 4 years in the cellar: Pours a dark opaque brown almost black. Puffy mocha colored cap. Raisins, spice, cake, earthyness in the complex aroma. Rich buttery mouthfeel, Big bundt cake like malts in front go to a rich complexity of dark fruits, cocoa, nuts, roastiness, herbs, spice, grape skins and licorice. Rich long finish punctuated by the malts not a wisper of fusil alcohol. Still this brewer’s best offering.

This is a pretty darn good beer and hands down the best I’ve had in this style. But I must admit I’m not a huge fan of the style, but still a good beer.
