Unibroue La Terrible

Probably the best way to get knocked out.... a dark brew, very smooth, but by the time you’re halfway through this monster bottle you’ll have forgotten anything about what the beer was when it started. Not like that’s a bad thing, though.

Another great beer. Dark brown color with nice head. Tastes of malt is very nice. A little thin on the palate compared to the very top belgian strong ales but pretty doggone tasty.

Enjoyed from a 750ml bottle in a chalice. The beer pours a deep brown with a lively just-off-white head. Aromas of banana, Belgian character malts, toffee, prunes, and raisons sneak through. The initial taste is a touch on the grainy side, and the overall palate is a little less full than offerings such as St. Bernardus Abt 12 and Het Ankor Grand Cru of the Emperor. The middle to end of the palate brings sweet flavors of slightly burnt caramel and some yeast-derived esters. The yeast seems to be a cross between the fruity Chimay variety and the "darker fruity" and more restrained Westmalle type. Overall, a great Belgian syle from North America’s Belgian brewery

draft at The Porter. arrived a dark brown with no head. wonderful dark fruit and slight Belgian yeast aromas. some spice up front with big raisin, plum and other dark fruit notes coating the palate. nice medium body which is quite smooth and well rounded. good strong finish which doesn’t overpower the mouth with alcohol, but leaves a lingering sting with more dark fruit notes through the back. excellent BSA.

750 ml. bottle from Buffalohead. Black/brown pour, nearly opaque with some ruby highlights, and a rather small light brown head. Aroma is dominated by fruit esters, black current, raisins,dates, etc. - vinous in nature. Medium to full body, light carbonation, some stickiness on the palate, but a satisfying richness. decidedly sweet flavor profile extends into the finish, with just the softest bitter accent that prevents it from being cloying. Alcohol not really apparent, but this is a slow sipper in any case.

I had been eyeballing this beer for a while at the store but just wouldn’t pick it up. Tried it for the first time the other night at the malt house and it was a delight! Pours a dark dark brownish black colour with a hint of red coming through once the smoke clears. Big fluffy brown head. Rich and toasty with plenty of spice, dark fruits and chocolate malts. Aroma is toasty with alittle bit of a prune scent. Totally worth it, check this one out!

Black fizzy head. Aroma is yeast and raisins. Carbonation is quite intense and very fizzy. Taste is sweet dark fruits. Body feels thin.
