Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

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

In the aroma I detected moderate yeasty dough, clove, and alcohol. In appearance it is cloudy with a golden orange body hue. Initial flavor is sweet and yeasty. Finish duration is average to long. Medium body, very lively carbonation. Overall: I love this ale. I am a big fan of belgian style ales and this one really stood out.

12oz bottle, served in a tulip. Pours with a huge, gigantic, enormous, larger than life fluffy white head. Takes about 15 minutes to finally get all of the beer in the glass, then another 5 or so for the head to settle enough to drink. Golden body with a very lively carbonation display. Sheets of white lacing cling to the sides of the glass. Aromas of funky yeasts, candied sugars, peaches, pears, spices. Flavors of peaches, sugars, sweet malts, spices, and some sour notes. Palate is slightly sticky but not overdone. Light to medium bodied on the tongue, finishes slightly dry, sweet and silky smooth. the alcohol is very well hidden, and as a result makes this beer dangerously drinkable. Excellent.

Great beer! Hints of fruit and wheat. I can barely taste the 9% alcohol. Good head with lots of armoa. Goes down smooth with adequate aftertaste. Perfect for a hot day. I’ve never heard of a refreshing 9% beer, until now.

Bottle... golden yellow with a white head. Sweet mouthfeel with a slightly bitter finish. Nice beer.

Pours a golden amber with a thick frothy white head. Aroma of apple, pear, grape, citrus and slight hint of alcohol. Very carbonatied with a fruity spiciness up front with a sweet citrus finish. Kind of like a stronger more carbonated wit beer.

Location: on tab at the Waterfront Ale House in Manhattan, 11/08

Had this on tab at the Waterfront Ale House in Manhattan, and was really impressed, great beer. Had 2 beers while I was there, this and the Rochefort 10, I’d call that SUCCESS!

Beautiful cloudy orange beer that smells like citrus and spice... Tastes more like spice than fruit and has some bite from the high ABV.. An amazing beer that would not have you believe its as strong as it is

Original review date 10/1/2008... 750 corked & caged into Ommegang chalice... Clean, thin 1/2-1-finger yeasty even head with a clear seam topping a cloudy, honey body with quick carbonation. Looks like a good Trippel - last pour heads up a lot more but goes quickly. Telltale Tripel signs of bountiful coriander, a little clove and ginger and nice yeast character. Hardcore electricity and wheat-ish bite. Strength dissipates with warmth. The spicy tone of this is extremely solid and electric...clean, yeasty profile with mild malt sweetness. Solid carbonation gives this a slight saltiness that blends well to make a clean-drinking experiment in Beautiful Chemistry. A hearty, husky malt/yeast/wheat profile gives this an extremely solid woody backbone. The spicy sweetness is balanced with the ample carbonation to provide a greay palate tingle. This exhibits quintessential Tripel mouthfeel. This drinks at a very responsible pace. Not quickly but not too slowly. Matters, as it’s a pleasure to enjoy. One of the best all-around offerings that has been given a "good look" in some time...
