Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Abbey Tripel
Chambly, Canada

Violent start on a beer that looks innocent enough. You are immediately bombarded with spices and flavors of unmistakable anise/licorice. But, much like whiskey, the more you let it permeate your palate, the more you can enjoy the subtleties behind the fumes. A fun beer to enjoy on it’s own, cleanse your palate before downing something else- this will stay with you.

Pours golden and hazy with lots of foamy head. Considerable amount of lacing. Strong citrus and yeast smell reminiscent of a weiss beer. Complex, sweet flavor that’s well balanced with subtle spiciness.

Pours a golden yellow with a two finger head with some spidery lacing on the glass. Drank out of a wine glass. Aroma is very much like a belgian strong pale ale. The yeast and alcohol can be detected and the malt smells very sugary. The taste is a lot of sweet, sugary malt balanced well with a spicey hop flavour. Interesting flavour and pretty complex while being smooth and highly drinkable. The alcohol is well hidden but the yeast flavour is definately there. Great mouthfeel, smooth with a crisp carbonation. Medium bodied. Very nicely done. Very drinkable, and highly recommended if you’re into Belgian strong ales.

Bottle. Hazy golden pour with a nice frothy head. Aroma is sweet; light fruit, pear, citrus, bubblegum and a little spice. Similar flavor with the 9% abv showing up for the finish. Flavor is actually a bit too sweet for my taste.

Dégusté dans un verre de fin du monde. Bouteille dans un ensemble de dégustation 2009. Bière enbouteillé en novembre 2008. Bière de couleur or ambré avec des insertions de brun pâle harmonisant une bonne mousse, des dépôt de levure et une absence de bulles. Odeur de banane, houblon fleural, coriande. Une odeur ennivrante mais sans artifices, tous ce joue en subtilités. Le thym, le clou de giroffe, la muscade, le bois de cèdre et le citron font parti du second nez présent au réchauffement du liquide mais ne sont pas les ingrédients principaux de cette bière mais plutôt un ajoux imagé et de souvenir par rapport à d’autres goût issus de cette cervoise. Un goût de levure et d’alcool suivis d’un crémeux et d’une amertume avec une bonne gazéfication. Un peu de banane, de lime , de thym et de coriande. Elle sera encore meilleur dans 5 ans.

Color is golden, cloudy. Smell is too complex for me to sort out, but I put it fruity, flowery, with a mediciney/solvent sort of background. Taste is sweet, acidic fruits, very minor bitterness, warming if you hold it on the tongue. Moderate carbonation, sort of dry finish. Very good

FRom 750ml bottle. Smells of orange peel and clove. Pours hazy yellow with a thick white head. High carbonation. Flavors of orange, cloves, spices, yeast. And the flavor lingers for a long time. This is a great beer!
