look: 4 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5

Poured from a 750ml bottle into a Grimbergen goblet and split with Seanniek91.

A - Dark and slightly translucent. Some faint lacing. Very nice, but nothing out of the ordinary.

S - Sweet and fruity, berries, raisins, a bit spicy

T - raisins, currants, a bit spicy, a faint booziness. Very surprised how sweet this one is, but very nice. Not too sweet and the spices aren't overdone. The 10.5% does not come through much at all.

M - Very light bodied. The sweetness lingers, but much lighter than I expected.

O - Not what I expected, but very nice. I've loved everything I've had from Unibroue and this is no exception. Another great beer for a fantastic price from Unibroue.

Pours a deep ebony into a chalice, with a 2 inch foamy head that fades quickly into a thin lacing. Lacing then fades away into the middle of the drink. Very Belgian...
Sweet spices on the nose, currant and...something else...that very Belgian abbey/strong ale characteristic..super inviting.
Extremely deep flavor, sweet spices, figs and nuts in the background..Smooth and rich.
The malt sweetness hides, at first, the 10.5% ABV...those deviant Belgians! Then it hits you, warming, not overwhelming.
Extremely drinkable.
Terrible!! And by that, I mean AMAZING! God bless the Belgians for creating the style, and god bless the Canadians for making such a fine example!
Unibroue at its finest!
Can't recommend it enough!

Probably the most difficult beer to open that I can think of... 2011 vintage:

Deep coffee brown body with two fingers of very Belgian looking beige carbonation... great lacing from start to finish.

Sweet black cherry aromas... spicy yeast, vanilla and toffee, fruity esters, incredibly smooth and approachable especially given the alcohol content.

Drying tart red fruit notes, sweet cola and more vanilla, a bit of earthy nutmeg, pretty tame beer... I'd like to try this one fresh.

I have really enjoyed what I have sampled of Unibroues catalog and was happy to grab a few bottles of Terrible when I stumbled across it as it is only a limited run for us here in Ontario, Canada. Those big black bottles sat there staring at me ready to be opened. My brother was visiting and I decided to pop one open and cellar the remaining.

The bottle was extremely hard to uncork for some reason, I see some others have had the same issue. It poured dark black and left a small tan head in the glass. Minimal lacing and and even with ABV of 10.5% I do not get that over the top alcohol taste that I do with some lower end high octane beers.

This beer has alot of carbonation, which I enjoy but some others may have an issue with. It has a nice mouthfeel, slightly thick with a creamy finish.

Served cold most of the scents and tastes are hidden. Allowing the beer to warm for 5 to 10 minutes brings these to life. An initial smell of spice and yeast with a slight fruit background. Taste is enjoyable and complex, nothing really stands out besides a nice malty taste with a slight sour finish.

This is a beer that I could serve to friends with Beef or Bison on a cold winters night. Very enjoyable to sip away slowly in front of a fire.

750ml bottle poured into a goblet. ABV 10.5%.

A - Poured a dark brown to black with a 1cm beige bubbly head. Head reduced to surface bubbles and no lacing.

S - Dark fruit, spices, brown sugar, some toast, hint of smoke, a bit of rum.

T - Sweet dark fruit & spices upfront. Then followed by port, some vanilla, & whole wheat toast. Finish only has a bit of booze and a light hop bitterness, Quite complex yet well balanced. As other reviewers have pointed out, this beer has a fruit cake flavour to it. The sweetness & spiciness is also comparable to other strong ales from Unibroue.

M - Medium-heavy body, medium-heavy carbonation, prickly, smooth, crisp finish. Pleasant mouth coating aftertaste that sticks around for a while.

O - Easy to drink and quite enjoyable. Another great Abbey style ale from Unibroue.

I have been wanting to try this beer for a long time. The beer manager at Total Wine & More in Scottsdale loves this beer. This might actually be his favorite beer of all time. The bottles fly off the shelf, and I am glad they had one the last time I was there. Reading the tasting notes on this one… well, it sounds amazing. I have always been impressed with this brewery, and am a big fan of their La Fin Du Monde. Before we decided to drink this one, I had no idea the brewery had so much history. I also find it funny they are in Canada. The beer just tastes like it comes from Belgium. Excited to drink this, and based on our experience yesterday with Westvleteren 12, this better be great! Bottoms up, people.

In the Glass: First off, that was the hardest cork I have EVER popped. Not sure why, but it took me 5 minutes to get the bottle open. I was worried the thing would explode or something. But I finally got the cork out, and poured a little in the glass. It had a HUGE head. I poured one ounce, and the entire glass was full of head. I waited for that to go down, and when it did, the beer poured like soda pop. The head was thin, light, and even looked like I was pouring a can of pop. When I finally got the beer in the glass, I was impressed with the color. It’s black. Pitch black in the glass.

Nose: That is what a strong dark ale should smell like. I find it funny that a brewery in Canada is making Belgian beers… but if they pull it off, by all means. This smells like a Belgian beer, so they are on the right track. On a second sniff I am getting some dark chocolate aromas and maybe some light coffee notes toward the finish. I have been wanting to drink this for a LONG time… let’s go!

Flavor: Holy. Crap. That beer is amazing!!! There are three things going on here. First you are hit with sweetness. I am talking barleywine sweet. Not thick, but really sweet. Then you get some malty flavors leading to a ton of carbonation. More carbonation than I expected and more than I wanted, to be honest. But then you get the aftertaste. I will get to that, but man… this beer is incredible.

Mouthfeel: The mouthfeel is nice. It starts smooth, and itching to be thick. We are drinking this cold, so I will let the second half of the glass sit here for a few minutes, but the main mouthfeel happens toward the back of the tongue. That is when the carbonation comes out. It explodes across the back of your tongue as you swallow leading to that impressive lasting aftertaste.

Aftertaste: I love beers that have an aftertaste like this. Beers like this could sit for days because I don’t want to lose that flavor by taking another drink! Maybe that is why some of the best beers are only available in bombers. Those can take an hour or more to drink. Good thing, because a lot of them have a HUGE ABV. Like this guy. 10.5% is nothing to mess around with. This aftertaste really sticks around for a few minutes, and is as sweet now as when it started.

I can see why the beer manager at Total Wine likes this one. It’s great. This beer is only going to get better as it heats up, too. This is a rare beer, and only available at a few bottle shops in the United States. Glad I have one right down the road. I will be buying this one again, that’s for sure. I would LOVE to have this one with some nice cheeses or some smoked salmon. Great, now I am hungry! If you like beer, heck… even if you don’t, get a bottle of this. You’re welcome!!!

On tap at Kickbacks in Jax. Poured into a snifter. Khaki head, moderate retention, oily and soapy lacing. Body is deep mahogany, approaching black. Aroma includes dates, figs, raisins, toffee, brown sugar, candi sugar, slight roasted malt, sweet caramel malt, and a classic Unibroue yeast. Taste is dominated by sweet malt, Belgian yeast, clove, banana (underlying), touch of licorice and some mild spicing (hard to describe). No alcohol whatsoever noted on aroma or taste and amazingly drinkable at this ABV. Spectacular.

Poured from a bottle to a snifter.

A - pours dark as dark can be. Pretty thick head (2 fingers) leaves minimal lacing.

S - has that Unibroue yeast smell, sweet like some dark fruits.

T - can definitely taste the alcohol! That slowly mellows out with the hops followed by prunes/dates and coffee flavor. Very interesting.

M - tingly on the tongue, kind of astringent. Good carbonation balance.

Overall, an interesting brew. I'd get it again for its complexity.

Poured into a Dogfish head pint glass.

Appearance...it's very dark. Dark coffee like brown color. Pours with a short bubbly head which dissipates over the span of a minute or two.

Smells... Grassy. Earthy. Yeasty but not in a bad way. Smells crisp and fresh with a hint of sweetness.

Taste... Crisp. Light hoppy bitterness. No dominant flavor profiles but very easy to drink and enjoyable.

Mouthfeel... Bubbly and highly carbonated.

Overall... A very easy to drink and enjoyable beer. The only drawback is the high carbonation which causes a bit of bloating and burping. Worth it...

One of my favourite breweries... while all of their beers have a trademark similar flavour, I love them all. This one I wish was available all year round - it would be my go-to beer.

Pours dark with a nice head that recedes (unfortunately no lacing though...). Mild rum soaked fruits, light chocolate, banana, bubble gum... this stuff is like dessert but isn't too sweet. Just a slight sour aftertaste that is found in most of their fine brews. The mouthfeel is so smooth making this a very drinkable strong dark ale considering the high abv.

Great stuff.

A: Excellent promise in the deep rich cola colour. An abundant head that doesn't stick around, except to lace up the edge of the glass.

S: Smells of the Unibroue yeast upfront with notes up front of sweeten dried dark fruits, alcohol esters similar to a brandy. Smooth notes of vanilla and oak. plenty of smoothy malts, and no detectable hops.

T: Forward with that distinctive Unibroue yeast and sweet peppery flavour, followed by dried cherries & raisins, brandy and oaky smoothness. Complex mix of spicy, sweet fruits and yeasty notes.

M: Higher than expected carbonation present of the front of the palate. However leaves the mouth with plenty of coating to continue enjoying the fruit notes.

O: Fantastic extra strong ale, complex and tasty with hidden alcohol presences. Warming and sturdy enough to stand up to a meaty rich dish. Go get one, and enjoy in front of a warn fire.

750 ml poured into tulip

A: Very dark with an intense deep red color when help up against light. Good carbonation that creates a large foamy head, tan in color, that dissipates to a thin medium bubble film with almost no lacing.

S: Fruity, dark sugar, dried cherries, licorice and some floral notes. Also some spice notes but very mild, maybe grains of paradise and or anise.

T: Sweetness makes its way forward first, but quickly followed by a great fruity character mostly made of dried cherries, currants, and dark sugars. The taste is what I expected following the nose. Alcohol takes a back seat ride to the fruitiness and sweetness, its definitely there but hidden very well. Flavors a well balanced, not too sweet or fruity nor alcoholic. Great example of its style, in my opinion even with a slight red wine finish.

M: Aftertaste is complex and on the dryer side. Sweetness lingers with the fruitiness, almost no bitterness but a slight warm feel from its high abv, but no where near what I would expect from a 10.5% abv brew. Very drinkable, almost too drinkable, which in my book is always a good thing.

O: A very interesting BSDA by Unibroue, again. Last time I had this I didn't have time for a review, which is unfortunate since I didn't pay nearly as much attention to its complexity until now. Overall its a very rich yet almost simple ale considering its spiced. The spices take a back seat to the ride, which is how it should be. A great BSDA that is easy to drink, and packs a punch. Well balanced and great for desert. Next thing on my list would be to age a bottle and also to try this side by side with Trois Pistoles.

Very dark brown in colour, just over a finger of tan head, quite a bit of lace at the end of the glass. Smell is a dark fruit overload, plum and raisin, spicy, yeasty with a bit of brown sugar as well, vinious points. Taste is yeasty with a bunch of dark fruit, dark breadt malt, only a touch of sweetness and alcohol, spicy finish with some darker sugars. Medium-high carbonation, big chewey full body, creamy at times. Just an outstanding beer, complex and dangerously drinkable, grweat stuff.

Appearance - Pours a dark cola brown with 2 fingers of bubbly beige head.

Smell - Traditional Unibroue yeast, dark fruit (cherry, plum), hint of oak, vanilla, spicy aroma.

Taste - Once past the spicy yeast strain, you are instantly hit with the dark fruit, oak, and vanilla flavours. A touch of sweetness, but nothing near cloying. Very complex. ABV is well concealed.

Mouthfeel - Medium-to-full bodied with light-moderate carbonation. A little bit of pleasant stickiness.

Overall - A complex and enjoyable Belgian strong dark ale by Unibroue. There are so many flavours playing on the palate. Almost wine-like. ABV is so well concealed this could be quite dangerous! If you find a bottle in your local shop, don`t forget to pick one up.

Bottle states "Best Before 10-15-2014".

A: Pours a very dark red with a huge and dense....pink(?) head. Pretty sure there's a pink hue to it that fades away, leaving more of a light brown head after a brief period of time. Fades slowly, leaving just tufts of lacing behind. Good head retention.

S: Raisins, grapes and cherries. Lots of them. Bit of banana. Sweet caramel comes through and makes them all the more decadent. A little earthiness sneaks in.

T: All the dark fruits as mentioned above. Very earthy, spicy and oaky to boot, however. Almost overpowers the fruits. Not as sweet as I was expecting from the aroma. Spiciness lingers into the finish and into the long, drying aftertaste along with just a hint of cherry.

M: Heavy but not overly so, high carbonation cuts it a bit.

O: Very interesting BSDA. Super spicy, black pepper and almost chile pepper-like sting. I almost wonder if these are off flavors because I don't see much mention of them. Regardless, loaded with dark fruits and sweet caramel throughout. Might have to retry this one some day, it's not past its prime but something is definitely up with the relatively harsh spiciness. I actually ended up drain pouring it.

Bottle pours a dark black, chestnut brown with lots of head. Tastes of oak, dark fruits and slight caramal in a nice roasty finish. Its not as overwhelming in flavour as other Unibroue beers are. For 10.5% this drinks down quite smooth and the alcohol is well hidden. I think I will try to grab another bottle or two of this before it disappears.

750mL bottle from the Uptown Waterloo LCBO. Simple, effective bottle design. A brew I've been meaning to try for some time but haven't come across until recently.

Poured into a Belgian ale goblet. Dark brown, chestnut near the edges, and a good billowing head that settles into a thick ring with a few whirls on the surface. Lacing patches and all that good stuff.

Nose is quite wonderful, and really took about ten minutes of warming to get the full effect. Plum, raisin, a bit of banana, spice, Belgian yeast. Very inviting.

A great dark ale that would probably benefit from a year in the cellar. Similar tasting notes as in the nose, with a bit of oak, grape, and warming alcohol kick to the finish.

Mouthfeel is initially quite carbonated (too much so), but after a few minutes it mellows out considerably. Nice thickness to the brew, coats the tongue very well.

Might snap up a couple of bottles to hold on to in the cellar. Certainly a very strong offering from Unibroue, but it's in such tough company it's hard to notice a great difference between this and some of their other brews (with the high price under consideration!) Still, well worth a pick up, and quite enjoyable indeed!

Pours a deep black with slightly lighter shades of brown around the edges. Not the darkest beer in the world, but in the neighborhood, particularly for a Belgian. The head is a thin finger thick with little retention and no immediate lacing. The tiny bubbles eventually give way to a thin ring.

Decent complexity in the nose. Caramels malts strike first, followed by a lingering alcohol and finally dark, very ripe fruits. Swirling the snifter brings the head back to life and awakens some spices. Also displays some thin lacing for the first time

I don't know how you'd improve the taste. Taste mimics the nose but the alcohol is more prominent. At 10.5% it's very strong and while the flavor is clearly evident, it's not like you're drinking straight whiskey. Toffee makes an appearance as well as the dark fruits. It's wine-like with a fruity hop flavor.

It's a sharp ale, not a dull lager. You can feel everything. Sweetness from the fruits, heat from the alcohol, the sting of carbonation. Everything is turned up to 10 on this beer, but it never crosses the line. Full bodied, but with a crispness.

One of the best beers I've had and it rivals anything from Belgium. Overall it's just an amazing beer. Has strong, aggressive smells and flavors and it all hits hard. But it never goes overboard. Something I could easily drink every night.

4.4/5  rDev +5.3%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

A – pours out very close to jet black, very active, thin carbonation, fizzy due to bottle fermentation. A tan head broils up and immediately recedes almost to nothing. Light can only make it through the edges of the glass, where an almost purple glow occurs

S – Subtle alcohol presence, strong, dark fruit smell dominates. As it warms, the smell takes on more of a pear or apple characteristic. Agitation brings a roast-like scent to the forefront, along with a little more alcohol presence. Not what I’d call strong smelling, but just potent enough to get the full range of character.

T – Plum, light raisin notes, lots of malt sweetness, lingering syrup taste of deep roasted malt, with a faint oaky note behind it all. Fruit dominates most of the flavor at first, then more of a subtle alcohol note and extremely active yeast slowly comes to the forefront. Mild bitterness, although not likely from hops as from the malt character and high ABV. Powerful and diverse!

M – Comes on thin with an active fizz, splashes hard, and thickens up as it washes down. Leaves a thin, syrupy coat that’s reminiscent of a double IPA, except instead of hoppy leftovers, the coating is all malt! I usually refer to Le Terrible as the polar opposite of a double IPA, because it’s got all the same power but accentuates everything an IPA doesn’t.

O – A wonderful example of a truly flavor packed, powerful dark brew with loads of character and a respectable 10.5 abv. Been a staple of my cold-weather beer line up since the first time I tried it

750ml Bottle from Marche Omni QC for 8$ - 2012 vintage

Appearance – Brown colour with a massive average size fizzy dark beige coloured head. There is an average amount of carbonation and there is some great lacing. The head lasted for over 10 minutes before it was gone.

Smell - Malts, grains, raisins, bananas, clove

Taste & Mouth - The beer has an above average amount of carbonation and I can taste malts, banana, and raisins. There is also caramel mixed with some yeast and clove and a hint of cherries. It ends with a somewhat sweet and spicy aftertaste.

Overall – The booze was well hidden and it's quite drinkable given the ABV. For my money trois pistoles (which is also available in a smaller format) is just as good if not better. Still another fantastic beer from this brewer and I'm looking forward to seeing how a bit of age affects the rest of my bottles.
