Unibroue Quelque Chose

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

0.75l - Flat red brown liquid, pronounced cheery and yeast nose, cherry on platate, very sour, something different but I’m not sure when I’d want this.

This beer would be amazing if I could not get the taste of Bar-b-que sauce out of my head. Fantastic cherry flavor saturates your mouth. Too many spices, tho, kind of like the 17, which I was not able to finish.

Bouteille de 500 ml, édition 2002, donc vieille de plus de 6 ans. Arômes de cerises sûres, légères touches vineuses et boisées. Robe cuivrée aux reflets rouges, mousse absente et aucune effervescence. Très douce et équilibrée, les cerises se marient à une belle acidité et à une touche boisée. Finale où pointent l’alcool et une légère touche épicée. La bière a très bien vieilli. Un produit original de Unibroue, qui est malheureusement trop peu disponible au Québec.

Pours ruby red-brown. Smells deep and rich and sweet-cherries. Sweet cherry flavor, very tart, slightly burnt-like clove or cinnamon and spice. Cherry flavor is strong, but its enjoyable just to sip. Warm, alcohol is there. It doesn’t seem too over fruited, the fruit is more mellowed than most fruit beers.

750ML - Pours a dark reddish-brown in color with almost no head and very little carbonation. Aroma is an interesting mix of cinnamon, cherry, nutmeg and some yeastiness. Flavor is very strong of cherries with a nice sour finish. Almost like straight cherry juice with spices rather than beer. I love cherries and this "beer" satisfies that craving... I did not try hot this time... something to look forward to in the future. Really good...

Bouteille de 500 ml vieillie environ 7 ans. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur rouge-orangée avec aucune effervescence. Au nez on découvre des arômes de fraises, de cerise confîtes, de madère, d’acidité et de bois. En bouche le corps est rond et sirupeux avec une effervescence nulle. On goûte des saveurs de cerises, de madère, de sucre et d’acidité. Le tout compléter par une douceur d’alcool.

Ruby red color with a thin white head. Aroma is of cherries, raisins, prunes, and a little cinnamon. Flavor is slightly tart with cherry and light sweet malts. Low carbonation

Bottle 2002. First served cold: Small bubbly white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Cinnamon reddish color. Aroma of vanilla, fruit, cinnamon, cherry, mild sour fruit and some Christmas spice like notes. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation and light dry texture. Moderated sweet flavor with mild counter sour notes. Lingering cherry and spicy sour finish. Served HOT: The head was more foamy/creamy like. Notes became more alcoholic and overripe fruity with mild sour notes. The body appeared a bit more thick when served hot. Reminded me of Gløg that is served in Denmark during Christmas time. Nice experience and a bit more punch when served hot.
