Unibroue Quelque Chose

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

Bottle - 500ml, tasted at room temperature. Cloudy dark amber body with reddish glints, very low carbonation and a thin off-white bubbly head. Strong cherry aroma with cinnamon and apple notes. The same cinnamon hints are easily detectable in the taste, which carries spicy, herbal, and teaish hints as well. It ends with a robust sour finish. Very special fruit beer.

(on botle 2002 edit.)had this at room temp. and with a few cheeses; it held out fine. Interesting nose of the cherries(without much kern) and pickled wineleaves. had absolutely no carbonation and and semi-hazy dark red colour. The taste was also dominated by the cheries, had notes of cinnamon, bayleaves and sage too. the lightless in the finish is a good indicator of why some beers are better with heese than wines; it simply lifts the palate up anf d you´re ready for the next mouthfull.

Bottle 2002 vintage: Color is cherry amber with only a wisp of foam. Aroma is sweet cherry and alcohol like a cherry brandy. Flavor is cherry sweet, some spice, a sharp tartness and a long dry finish. Smooth medium mouth feel.

2002 500ml bottle. First glass was at room temperature... Clear, sparkly rosy-amber pour with zero head. Cinnamon, nutmeg, sweet cherries, and apple peel were oh-so-enticing in the aroma. Flavor followed the aroma quite nicely... the spices had the right concentration and placement to nicely accompany the sweet fruit flavors. Mildly tart cherry notes surrounded the tongue. Finish felt like a spiced tea with flavors of cherry and pie spices... left sticky-sweet cherries on the lips. Tried this heated up as well... the heat thinned out the body a bit, and released some alcohol in the aroma and flavor. Flavors were not as distinct as at room temp. Certainly an enjoyable brew under both conditions, but the room temperature lets you fully grasp the depth and complexity of this fine brew.

Had this beer sipping hot as recommended and was pleasently surprised. The aroma had nice overtones of cherry with the spices coming through quite nicely. The color was light pinkish with a bubbly pink head. The taste was of spices, much like in a mulled cider, and cherry.

Bottle. Dark orange with no head. Lots of cherry. In fact while I had a sense there were other flavors it was difficult to get past the cherry flavor. Excellent nose. Very nice to drink, however overpriced.

Bottle. Served Cold, Orange red colour with no head. Marzipan, cherry, cinnamon, cardemom aroma and a very sweet marzipan, cherry, cinnamon taste. Medium to full body with a sweet finish. Served Warm, 4-3-5-3-9

Served warm, clear deep reddish with a small white head. Unbalanced aroma with a cherry fruityness and a very evident alcohol note. Nice sweet fruity flavor, lots of berries and a faint spicyness. Light tart finish.
