Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

Crushed with Jakebra. Malty as hell. Not quite sure what to make of it. Wheat beer tendencies for sure. Definitely had better beers from Unibroue. The triple fermentation is impressive, but there’s something weird going on here that doesn’t agree, aight?

Corked 750ml bottle, lightly chilled. Very clean, lively, viscous-looking golden body with small dense creamy white head. Yeasty aroma; plenty of spice, clove and coriander among others, ripe apricots and pear, hay-like with a distinct sweet bread character, alcohol is slightly noticable. Lively carbonation, creamy texture, syrup-like consistency adding overall sweetness, warming on the way down. Plenty of spicy fruit complexity on the body; dried fruits, pepper, coriander seed, cinnamon bread (donut?), really ripe banana, cereal wheat, alcohol on the finish...i could probably keep on going on with comparisons, but you get the idea. Finish is slightly dry, a hint of bitterness and somewhat very well balanced. Really liked this one, for all of the right reasons, and I was reluctant to leave it to age, also for the right reasons it seems!

750ml from Total Wine, Durham. Still my favorite of the Unibroue beers. But funny, I’ve never thought of this as a tripel at all; it still seems more like a Belgian strong of their usual variety, with tastes of darker fruits and esters coming through. True, the body is nicely light and lively, and there’s a crisp, easy-drinking finish here. More of a hybrid, then. But it remains a delightful brew.

What I would call one of the defining offerings from this brewery. Pour was like a thick cider but held an impressive head. Taste was of sweet fruit to the point of almost being syrupy. Definite alcohol notes rounded that out though. What really sets this apart is the sharp carbonation along with a fluffy palate. Finally something good I can say about Canada.

(Bottle). Fruity sweet aroma. Gold amber color with white head. Flavor is sweet citrus and pineapple, but luckily not *overly* sweet. Nice comforting finish. Well done.

Pours a dark gold with a boisterous, frothy head and light lacing. Aroma holds yeast, spice, and coriander- very nice. Flavor is excellent- yeast, spice, orange peel, with a sticky mouthfeel. Damn good brew.

Poured a golden blonde with an impressive thick white head. Aroma extremely pleasant with mostly spicy notes. Taste was smooth, with spices, hops and malts. A very well balanced and delicious beer.

Thick, off-white head that dissolved slowly yet left almost no lacing. Very dark orange-gold color with a lot of sediment. Strong, spicy aroma with a slightly fruity bouquet. It had a very strong, spicy flavor with highlighted fruity notes and a slow, sour finish. You can definitely tell that it’s triple fermented, but despite the high alcohol by volume, it doesn’t affect the flavor at all. One of my favorites, and it only gets better with a couple of months in the cellar.
