Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

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

Biere tres robuste mais quand meme rafinéé. Legerement épicée. Une triple digne de ce nom...

Finally! I’ve tackled Unibroue! I’m not sure why I’ve been putting this off for so long, but I’m a little regretful that I didn’t try this earlier. It’s damn near perfect. It pours a hazy orangish-amber with a disappearing head. The aroma is of dark fruits, and sweetness. The flavor is just insane. It’s like a good cinnamon bread, with raisins and sugar. I just had the Dark Horse Sappient trip ale, which doesn’t even come close. I will definitely be getting all of the offerings from Unibroue as soon as possible. Cheers!

[Eyes] Cloudy golden straw color with a BIG head with good retention. [Nouse] Full rich aromas ... yeast, esters, cloves... [Mouth] Great, Malts and Belgian yeast, good fruitiness,apples, oranges, lemon, honey, sugary sweetness, fresh bread, some almond...Very carbonated with a fairly thin body. Serving type: bottle

Attractive, hazy pale poor. The aroma is melon and citrus and lots of yeast. Smells and tastes like a belgian blonde or tripel. Lots of exciting fruit flavours, but very yeasty throughout. Alcohol is also quite prevalent in the nose and the palate. The finish is pleasant.

Tasted 23/09/2008. 330ml bottle from Beerstore (if I remember rightly). Pours a lazy hazy pale yellow gold . A little glue-like on the nose, reminds me of Westmalle yeast, with a rich sweetness of ripe fruit, alcohol and a background "white" spice. Hints of creaming soda or lemonade "spider" too. Spicy and watm in the mouth, sweet but not as much as the nose suggests. alcohol is a little too prominent for my liking. Loads of citrus. Oh hu her!!! Alcohol is too much. Hot and spicy. I reckon this would be a nice beer with a milder fermentation profile.

Strong citrus aroma, though slightly malty. Orange-yellow appearance, with some cloudiness and slight effervescence. Thin but enduring white head with good lacing. Taste is prominently citrus, grapefruit mostly. Light spice follows, with the taste of hops and slight yeast flavor discernible. Great flavor and perhaps even better mouthfeel. A very fine tripel.

Mild malty bready aroma. Paleyellow, thin white head. Nice depth of biscuit, toast, toasted malt, light caramel malt flavors with a distinct but understated "Belgian" yeast character mainly mild spice. Wonderful mouthfeel with a dry finish for the style. Overall a decent tripel. More drinkable than some versions, but less complex than the best examples.

Awesome beer. Hoppy, for a triple, and the malt is great. Amazing hops, creamy mouthfeel, and overall awesome.
