Unibroue La Fin Du Monde

La Fin Du Monde. Unibroue. Chambly, Canada.

“Belgian Style Tripel Ale”.

9% ABV.

Had this one sitting in the refrigerator for a while, since we were super into strong Belgian ales.

I’ve been trying to prove to Aimee that Americans (or in this case, Canadians) can brew a strong Belgian ale the equal of a Belgian Abbey, and so far have failed badly.

Will that change today?

Appearance

Easy pour to a consistent head of tiny bubbles.

Cloudy urine, browning gold. Wet straw.

The color isn’t too inviting.

Smell

Sweet and fruity alcoholic, typical of the style.

Taste

Hey it’s a pretty accurate example of the style!

It has a spiciness that reminds of cloves. Maybe some apple.

I notice that several American Belgian-style ales I’ve had are brewed with additional spices, but I don’t think the authentic beers have spices.

Need to learn more.

I’m really getting tired of this style.

Mouthfeel

Typical.
