Unibroue Quelque Chose

Hm... this one is different than most I’ve had. I’ve enjoyed a few krieks, but this doesn’t seem as much like that as I expected. There isn’t the bubbly sour tang that a Kriek has. This is more like a mulled wine. I guess that’s from the fact that it is supposed to be heated. I drank cold at first, but let it warm. Aroma is sweet and fruity. There is more of a cinnamon flavor up front than cherries. Not sure I would run to this beer, but given what it is, it is a good brew.

Bottled 50cl. Sampled both hot and cool. Rather drinkable despite its rather high sweetness. Pleasant. It reminds me a bit of root beer. I wasn’t too impressed.

I drank this cold. Ruby red and a tan ring of bubbles for a head. Surprisingly sour nose, though it’s balanced by the sweet cherries and some great spice. Flavor is strong cherry and too sweet and syrupy for me despite the spicing, Palate isn’t nearly as lively as I’d hoped, like a slow, mud covered behemoth, but with warmth it shows some life and a long, nicely balanced sour cherry flavor. Overall decent, but KRE steps all over this.

Beautiful ruby red color with no head. According to the bottle, you can have this hot, warm or cold. It was very hot outside so I had mine cold. Wonderful aroma of cherries. Taste is sweet and tart. Alcohol is so well hidden you can put a lot of these down. Beware.

Delicate, no head or carbonation to speak of. Similar to a lambic but with less carbonation and a more concentrated taste. Has a bit of a barley-wine feel. Tastes strongly of tart cherries. I could sip on this all day long. IMO ties with 2004 as the best of the Unibroue beers.
