Maudite - Unibroue

4.15/5  rDev -1.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A: Cloudy, apricot-copper brew with a thin head that vanishes fast.

S: Fruit, wheat, light spices like coriander and even white pepper.

T: Light, and somehow not. Spice candy and citrus dominates, behind which lurk floral and peppery bits. A somewhat oily aftertaste takes away from the overall score, but not too much.

M: Bracing, refreshing, but the 8% ABV manages to come through (more strongly as the beer warms). Light on the tongue but somewhat cloying in the finish.

D: Certainly another fine product by this brewer. Will find a spot on my regular rotation, but as a special treat. Not really something to quaff on a regular basis, either in terms of price or alcohol content.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75

Poured into a standard pint glass to an opaque amber brown color with a tight tan head.

Smells malty and inviting.

Tastes sweet up front, then some spices kick in and they add complexity. I am getting something like cinnamon--whatever it is, it's good. The flavors are well-balanced. The sweetness takes the edge off of what would otherwise be an over spiced beer. Excellent.

There's a warmth to this beer, but it isn't as full bodied as I'd prefer. Still, the mouthfeel is better than a lot of beers out there.

This is a good beer or capping off the night, sitting in front of the television watching some show on the old dvr. I'd happily have this again and recommend it highly.

Picked this up at a local convenience store. Was flabbergasted to see it between the Sierra Nevada and bud light tall boys. Poured into a snifter.

A: very rustic, dark copper color. Almost brown.

S: sweet fruit with hints of coriander. Slight hints of malt and hops.

T: lovin this one. Sweet fruit and spice stand out the most, with a very faint hoppy character in the background. Maltiness is well balanced along with the other flavors.

M: medium bodied with a decent amount of carbonation. They nailed it square on the head here. L

O: will definitely head back for another. Great beer that could be even more interesting when aged. Great beer by an even greater brewery. Unibroue continues to impress.

look: 4.75 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.75

This brew pours a deep, opaque brown/red color with a two finger head which dissipates fairly quickly. Some of the head does sit on top of the brew until the end. Moderate lacing on the glass throughout.

The smell is nutty, fruity, (pears and apples?), caramel and malty all at once.

The taste is caramel, sweet and roasted malts. Nuts and fruit; everything is well balanced. There is just enough hop character on the backend in order to keep this brew from becoming too sweet. The alcohol is very well masked.

The mouthfeel is bready, thick and chewy. The beer goes down very smoothly.

This brew is very good. I think it beats Chimay's Blue reserve. Enough said.

S - The aromas is definitely on the sweet side, with some dark fruits in the mix as well.

T - Dark fruit, a bit more sweetness and some nice malt in the mix.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle in to a Duvel tulip.

A- Pours an opaque dark amber body with a small tan head of one finger.

S- The aroma is sweet fruit, but not necessarily dark fruit. Maybe strawberries with some apple.

T- All I can say is "wow." Sweet fruits, a bit of a sour kick, and awesomeness, of course. The Belgian spice is there in the background

M- Very bubbly and enjoyable on the tongue.

O- I actually live this beer. Go get it.
