Unibroue Quelque Chose

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Fruit Beer
Chambly, Canada

In the bomber bottle. Pours a garnet/ruby mineral type of red with only a slight suggestion of a pinkish white head that runs away nearly as soon as the beer leaves the bottle. Really good pie cherry type of aroma. The flavor starts out sweet- just like Pat O’Brien’s Hurricane mix, but blends into a great cherry tartness and then returns to a candy sweetness reminding you of chocolate covered cherries. I pull out a bit of oakiness as well. The beer leaves your mouth with a bit of chalkiness. This is would make a fine dessert beer, but is too much for the hot tub.

Served cold. Red of color. An aroma cinnamon, glögg and CHERRY in the aroma. Nice flavor with notes of cinnamon and cherry. Not to sweet not to fresh, just the way is should be.

I had this at the beer tasting at Barley Pop in Germantown, WI. It was smoky in there so I may update when I get some. It poured deep blood red / black with no head. Smelled great like cherries and other fruits. Very nice taste of cherries. It was served colder than I would have liked.

Drank in a flute. Dark amber/red poor with no head whatsoever. 750 ml dated: 8-8-2002. Served COLD. Aromas of CHERRIES, madeira, allspice, raspberries with a hint of maple syrup. No carbonation, very sweet acidic cherrie taste with a sour somewhat bitter finish. Taste of obvious cherries and added fieldberries, madeira... This beer has a "je ne sais quoi..." feel to it... this beer is ALOT better very cold than warm...

My first 4 rating. Red in color with little head and a great fruity aroma. Sweet in flavor with little carbonation. This was a great beer and I’m happy my friend vyvvy shared it with me at a beer tasting.

first of all,two diferent vintages, one 2002 in i pint,0.9 ounce bottle, one unknown in 750 with complete black foil covering(i have pics). 750 was drunk hot, amazing flavor, and depth on that cold night, cherry, cherry, CHERRY!not much carbonation and the heat turned it into basically a slightly spicy cherry mulled cider. second 2002 vintage drank at room tempature.AMAZING! the diference in heating and natural temp is interesting, more acidic notes, but cherry taste seems a bit sweeter, little carbonation, but nice body and mouth feel. if i could find, i would gladly drink again and again.

Beautiful red color but absolutely no sign of carbonation. Aroma is sweet and sour with cherries. Taste is thick and sweet with a hint of spice. Cloying like a cherry cough syrup, and almost as viscous. $8/750

THOUGHTS: First I tried it heated. Aroma is better before heating. A unique experience. Doesn’t really taste like what you think of as beer, but very pleasing. Would have rated flavor even higher but it’s a little too one sided. On the rocks it is a little sweater, but I think I prefoer it heated because it seems less like fruit juice. I also tried it room temp., which was a little harsh. It is a truly versatile beer. Even thought the ABV isn’’t very high, it hides the alcohol well. I could barely tell it was an alcoholic beverage. It is a must try for those of us always looking for something different. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, dark red brown with a small, off-white (pinkish), soapy head that mostly diminished and left virtually no lacing. The aroma was mostly sour cherry, but could have been a little stronger. The flavor was all sour cherry thoughout with a short to average finish. The body was medium and syrupy with flat carbonation and a sour finish feel. On the rocks the texture was a little dry.
