Picked up on the recent mercy mission to Pine Knob Wine Shoppe In Clarkston, MI, to release old beer into the wild. A no-brainer at $14.99, with a BB date of 08-12-21. This is one of three or four bottles from the $200+ worth of old beer that I...
Belgian IPAs. If I'm honest I've never really seen the point. I mean a few have been decent, but as a rule why don't we all just concentrate on what we do well, carry on working to perfect those things, and let others do their things? Lanes are...
My second bottle of this. I was a little disappointed when I saw that this special edition was a stout, since Belgian stouts aren't really a big draw for me, and Unibroue is just so great with BDSAs and BSPAs. Having said that, I soon got over it....
Here we are at the beginning of June with the final bottle of the 2021 vintage. I usually get a case plus a few. I'm in the habit of saying that this beer is annually one of the best value beers available in North America, and the 2021 vintage is...
Yep, excited. Unibroue, large dark Belgian? Count me in. Dark Ale on Lees (as per Unibroue) presentation, a light spiced nose and some fruit in the nose. Jerry Viets Unibroue brewmaster brings his style to the masses. The usual Unibroue...
750 mL corked & caged affair. Best before 02-04-2015. Delighted and surprised to find this on the shelves as I went to pick up my annual fill of Trader Joe's Vintage Ale. The vintage ale and Unibroue are two of my favorite selections at this...
Bottled in 2011, No. 2011-100254, best before 12-12-2016. Parchment like label, information on the back describing the 2007 beer and the process it went through to become the 'Grand Reserve'. I've been (generally) a huge fan of the Unibroue...
A release that I look forward to every year for two reasons; the value associated with this beer is generally exceptional, and Unibroue is simply a brewer that rarely misses when it plays in its own, Canadian inspired, "Belgian" ballpark. Corked...
Additional notes 01/11 About 14 months old. Nose seems stronger than ever (in a good way). The carbonation is still quite prickly, and I think this is probably the weakest part of the beer, but paradoxically it lends a pretty lively element to the...
Additional notes 04/21/24 (pictured) Found an ancient bottle of this last week and decided to take a chance. $8.50 a bottle, what's to lose? $8.50 I suppose! Light pop on opening with a tiny bit of gun smoke. At least it's not 100% flat. Lighted...
750 mL Corked & Caged bottle with the usual Unibroue, silk screened presentation. $8.49 from Bullocks, Marietta, GA, USA. Had a bit of a job to track this down. Big pop on opening, it's poured into the Ommegang chalice. Dirty brown, Dubbel like...
Purchased on a recent trip to Greensboro, NC, USA. 750 mL Corked & Caged. Subsequently at Mac's Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA on sale for $3.99. Typical Unibroue presentation. Poured into the Duvel tulip this beer has a dark orange body (peach/tea...
Pictured 04/18/14 Good pop on opening which is always a relief on a beer of this age. Orangey brown, Dubbel like body. Not especially attractive. Almost a reddish hue. Head dies quickly to leave a tiny white collar and a ver thin, wispy film. Nose...
In English, Holy Water. Corked & Caged 750 mL bottle as a part of the Unibroue tasting at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. Not currently available in the USA. Well, I'm running out of new things to say about the Unibroue range. So many of the...
12oz bottle. Currently not available in the USA. Tasted at the Unibroue dinner meeting at the Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. Several of the Unibroue guys in attendance to give us the low down on the beers. If you know Unibroue beers the first thing...
Corked and caged 750 mL brown bottle with screen-printed label. Bullock's, Marietta, GA, USA. Opens with a gentle "pop" and some champagne like vapors. Poured into the Gouden Carolus flute. Orange butterscotch pour with a large white, dense head...
Thanks to zrrbrrt for the trade (this was before this got to Atlanta). 750 mL corked and caged. Poured into the Duvel tulip, the color is VERY black, almost of Guinness proportions, and is completely opaque without a hint of any other kind of...
Updated Review 10/10 Bottle Best Before: 10-15-2014 Dot matrix on neck: A14102232Q Same magnificent flavor profile as usual with huge, rich fruits and a great alcohol kick. Unbeatable value at $8.99. Updated Review 01/10 New Years Day 2010. Bottle...
Orangey, peach body, with clarity, but a little chill haze. Some good carbonation, but the initially slightly pinkish head disappears almost instantly and consequently no lacing. Acidic fruit flavors in the nose, but the specific blackcurrant smell...
Cellared Review 09/09 Well, 4+ years on this beer, time to crack one open. Firstly the pop on opening gave an indication of things to come. It was small, and although not completely dead it was disappointingly slight. I was anticipating some drop...
Additional notes 03/24/24 (pictured) Remarkably little change to my thoughts of 19 years ago. I still like this beer, but for me there is a certain depth missing compared to some. Still, it's a better Wit than many US versions. Middle of the pack...
Updated notes 03/31/22, this is the beer pictured. Very different pour when compared to the original notes, with this being clouded orange and not ‘crystal clear’ as noted below (albeit, 17 years ago!) Most of the other notes remain the same, with...
Very, very interesting beer experience. This is different in the extreme and a very brave brew from Unibroue in my opinion. Deep brownish red color, with no sign of a head. My wife described it as flat iced tea, and that is a pretty accurate...
Cloudy, yellow pour with a lovely, substantial head and that obvious apple aroma. I didn't find the apple smell overpowering; don't get me wrong it was strong and noticeable, but it didn't take over the beer for me. This is an amazingly drinkable...
Pictured 03/23/24 Additional notes 10/05/23 - pictured below You'd have to bump the appearance up to at least a 4 from that disappointing, original score - just look at it! Still the same rich fruits. The raisin notes and the plums come together...
July 2006: Now a two year old beer and things have changed dramatically. Much more mild now in all respects. Two distinct changes. Now there is a real British shandy taste upfront, and that in turn increases the drinakability immensely. July 2004:...
Notes added 10/02/2021 This is the beer pictured. Still that fat, billowing, impressive head. The nose has those apple, estery Belgian yeast notes that are so, so tempting on the nose. A perfectly smooth body leads to the simplicity of a beautiful...
Additional notes 03/23/24 (pictured) I always forget that this is designated as a Dubbel, for me it drinks differently than most in that style - a style that is the least favorite of all Belgians for me - and I enjoy it more than most Dubbels. It...
