beer_name: Unibroue 16
text: 750 ML black bottle copped for $8.99 from Total Wine and More in Union... pours an elegant orange and light copper hue with a minimal frothy head that lacked staying power... the taste and composition is similar to most brews from Unibroue, but this one is noticeably more sweet, thick, and rich, however, nonetheless, I would still prefer one of the brewery's staple beers, than this overly rich, overly sweet annual sample... Smell was very sweet and rich, filled with pears, apples, sweet candies, and light vanilla... taste strongly complemented the aroma, with a very, ultra-rich sweet complexion that included green apples, sweet sugared candies, a nice balance of malts and hops, and grapefruit... the flavor is very, very rich and sweet, almost to the point of being slightly overbearing... Nevertheless, this is still a top-notch brew, and very flavorful and enjoyable... I liked sipping on this one, and Unibroue 16 is one of those beers that should be enjoyed over a long period of time... good, sweet, rich mouthfeel with a somewhat average drinkability due to the ultra-rich and extra-sweet taste along with the hefty 10% ABV... good stuff... Recommended...
