Unibroue Quelque Chose

Brewed by Unibroue (Sapporo)
Style: Fruit Beer
Chambly, Canada

750ml bottle.
Pours a clear ruby red little head. Looks like pomegranate juice. Very little carbonation leaves zero head, not even the customary ring of bubbles around the edges. Quite lovely aroma of tart yet sweet natural cherries; does not smell like candied or artificial cherries at all. Aroma also hints at a sweet bready ale as the base brew with spicy, mildly bitter hops for good measure. Flavor is, of course, a whole lot of cherries up front, supported by a wonderful spice profile of earthy hops and nutmeg. Soothing, toasty alcohol almost gives the sense that this stuff is a freshly baked cherry pie in liquid form. This is a perfect Christmas beer. Palate is flat and thick, nearly cloying. A great balance of sweet and tart and a rather tasty beer overall; it’s the flat-cherry-soda appearance and clunky palate that hurt the final score.

2006 Bottle at CT4 brought by me. Served warm. Aroma of spices, cherry, and punpkin spices. Flavor was very smooth not beer like more like a smooth cider. Appearance was a bright red color and didnt have much carbonation. Flavor was warm cherries and spices. Very nice and I think the suprise of the tasting.

this shit is bonkers. but not in a good way. i tried it cold and hot. cold it was syrupy and too cherry sweet and just gay. hot. the clove really came through with a vanilla blast at the end. but drinking it was like drinking hot menthol medicine and it totally numbed my mouth up.

Bottle CT$ shared by bdburdman9, thanks! Served warm. Pours a ruby read with an off white head. Aroma of cherry...almost medicinal...some mint as well...some spices too. Flavor of cinnimon, cherry, apple, and a bit of yeast...almost kinda like wam cider. Sweet, juicy and a little bit chewy at parts with a juicy finish. Pretty neat stuff overall.

Bottle. Reddish brown with no head. cherries, cinamon, raisins and darik fruits in aroma. Flavour is sweet with fresh cherries and apple. Soft with no carbonation. Re-rating will probably come soon.

Shared by bgburdman and Bruno the Floridian at Columbus tasting #4. We heated this sucker up on the superb stove at Sliffy’s place--which was lit with a torch of some sorts I believe...Spiced cider aroma pours out of the glass from a dark red body. Palate is medium to full and creamy. Great warm cherry flavor with just the right hint of spices in the background to make it interesting. Really enjoyable.

Bottle shared by bgburdman9, served warm: Deep red color with a pinkish head. Aroma, cherries and some spice. Flavor, cherries, some hints of apple, a little tart. Medium bodied, and it really did lend itself to being served warm. I could definitely get used to that in the winter.

Bottle purchased at Sam the Beer Man in Binghamton, NY. Pours ruby with no head. Aroma is cherries, cinnamon, nutmeg and wheat. Flavor is the same with a nice mellow wheat finish. Pretty good fruit beer. This is not too sweet and not syrupy at all.
