Unibroue Don de Dieu

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

From a 750 ml bottle purchased at "Liquor Direct" in Covington, KY - This one poured a rich, golden brew with a tall white head of foam and a full, grainy aroma. Tastewise, it’s excellent, with a full, rich malty flavor and a lucious palate.

Bottle 341ml. @ home.
Clear medium orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, fully lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, caramel, fruity, moderate to light light heavy yeasty. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (290608)

Blonde with a big head, sweet malty and fruity smelles, some phenols. complex malty flavours. some spicy aftertastes. very rich. in general i enjoyed it

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy dark gold with a huge fizzy white head that diminishes to a thin collar then disappears completely.

The aroma is some sweet grainy malts with a tinge of rotten fruit sourness and a little grassy bitterness and some bananas and cloves.

The flavor is some sweet and sugary malts, fruits (bananas), musty yeast, some spices and cloves, and a grassy bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full with some sharp carbonation.

Overall, an interesting Belgian. I like some aspects but not others.

Pours cloudy straw with thick head, aroma is yeasty and spicy, taste is spicey, citrus and warming.

Interesting beer... pours bright orange under a thick white head. Aroma is yeasty and sweet. Flavor is a bit too sweet, very much like a sweet white wine. There is a vinous quality to it throughout.

12oz - Aroma is appealing but not too complex. Hay, straw, bready yeast and sweet pastry. Pours gold with a medium head and great lacing. Flavor isbready Unibroue yeast. Mellow spice and straw with a touch of sunshine (that’s what my notes say). Palate is creamy and smooth. Pretty easy going and tasty for 9%.

essa Belgian Strong Ale canadense tem grande impacto logo de cara, com sua pomposa garrafa de 600ml, com rolha e rótulo garboso. Na hora do ’vamos ver’, no entanto, ficou aquém das expectativas. A aparência inicial de sua espuma é media e cremosa, de coloração branca. Há moderada formação de colarinho, este de reduzida longevidade. Seu corpo é turvo, com partículas grossas e tonalidade âmbar (3/5). Ao nariz chegam notas cítricas de laranja, melado e álcool, derivadas de seu elevado teor alcoólico de 9%(7/10). Apresenta sabor inicial levemente amargo, sensação esta que se torna salgada no final, de duração média. Percebe-se ainda gosto de pão e um sabor apimentado, de especiarias. No paladar (4/5) surgem suas melhores qualidades: um corpo médio, ciceroneado por uma textura cremosa, carbonatação suave e final de sensação levemente alcoólica.
