Unibroue Don de Dieu

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Chambly, Canada

Bright orange in colour with tall white head. Clove and corriander aroma. Big clove/spicey/pepper flavours. Short peppery mouthfeel.

Golden without much sediment, foamy head but not much lacing. Aroma is estery, some fruit and a bit of spicy hops. Flavor is sweet, fruity, spicy with some warm alcohol. Finely effervescent. Slight bitter hops on aftertaste.

Very golden orange with a very tall head. Very yeasty aroma with strong golden malt, wheat, orange, grapefruits, honey. Very fruity, with lots of citrus, rather sweet indeed, with honey; strong. Strong Belgian yeast character. Good balanced dryness, too, though, from hops and more so yeast and sour touch. Brilliant, sparking, very well balanced. To name a fault, it is a little too sweet and honey-like, maybe.

Hmmm....not a huge fan. A bit out of balance i guess. Corn sugar, malt, caramel nose. Notes of orange peel, kind of foamy. Weird, bitter finish. Very grainy. bluh.

hazy golden with a pretty short lived head for the style. typical phenols and esters, malt, fruity, bit of apple maybe. nice dry palate, that prevents the esters from being sickly. pretty good.

Pours hazy golden orange with a nice white head. Nose is typical of unibroue beers, quite estery and phenolic, with obvious wheat characters coming through aswell. Palate translates well, perhaps a touch overcarbonated? Significant banana, mild lemon and spice notes coming through with some zesty wheat and perhaps some sweet pils malt? Overall quite well balanced and unmistakably unibroue, which is a good thing!

Aroma is lightly fruity with hints of yeast. Flavor is crisp and fruity, with a lingering pucker on the back of the tongue. A good Belgian strong overall.

12oz bottle. Pours a very hazy, pure orange colored body with a gigantic, snow white, soapy and dense head that slowly avalanches into a thick, lasting, soapy lacing. Aroma of wheat malts and orange/lemon. Some light spices, fresh cut grass, caramel, and yeast. Flavor is similar. A nice mixture of wheat malts, spices, bubbly yeast, citrus, banana, and soft grass. A hint of booze as well the more this warms. Finishes dry with a slightly tart, spicy malt lingering taste. Palate is medium bodied with a moderate to heavy carbonated feel. Overall, a very well balanced beer. Solid all-around. Not too simple, but not too complex. Nothing to complain about here.
