Unibroue Quelque Chose

[2002 Bottle - expired 1½ years ago] I'm going to do all three recommendations since I have a whole bottle to share with me, myself, and I. It only said a slight fiz when I opened it - is it the ago? It poures red like a kriek should do and with no head at all - doesn't look much like beer. [On the rocks] The aroma is quite faint of cherries - but still rather sweet. The flavor is sweet with rather strong notes of cherries, cinnamon, and cloves. Sweet at first, cherries in the middle and cloves and cinnamon lingering in the end. A bit thin for the alcohol content or is it the meltet ice? and a little cloying in the end. [6/3/6/3/13] [Room temperature] The aroma is of mature cherries rather warm than sweet. The flavor is sweet with a nice cherry note, this time not too sweet, and it is rather a cherry end only with hints of cloves and cinnamon. The body is also better. I think all this one misses is some carbonation. [6/3/7/3/14] [Hot] At long last it has a little head but it soon disappears. The color is a clearer red than at lower temperature. The aroma is of cherries and very sweet almost a little cloying. The flavor starts out sticky sweet with strong notes of over-ripe cherries giving way to primarily cinnamon. I think the end is good - yet still a bit sweet, but the over-ripe cherries in the beginning is a little too much for me. [6/4/6/4/14] I must admit than I don't like this as much as the rest of You - but don't misunderstand me - it's still a good beer. I'll recommend it at room temperature, but I'm looking forward to comparing it to Liefmans Glühkriek. And at last I owe Alex (fiulijn) a huge thank You for trading me this one, which is not available in Denmark. Thanks, Alex.

Cherry flavoured ale. Slightly tart and mature, tastes of fresh fruit. Treacherously easy to drink. Outstanding!

Blood red colour. The aroma is assertive cherries and spice. The flavour is quite spicy these days, with abundant cherry. The finish is fairly tart, but also with a lot of sugariness as well. Sadly, this beer isn’t what it used to be. It is thinner, which makes the alcohol more apparent (especially when heated) and the spiciness is a bit over the top. I miss the robust maltiness that used to be there. A former classic.

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 at room temperature): No head atop a medium red body. The aroma is cherry but with bandaid. Slightly mediciny too -- think children's cough syrup. Flavor is cherry, sweet and slightly sour, moderately medicinal. For what it's worth, this was the second of two bottles we opened, and those that tried both bottles said that the first one was in much better shape. (Served heated): Aroma and taste are akin to warmed cherry cider. But the taste also has a root-bitter quality that just doesn't work for me.
