Unibroue 11
Poured from a caged and corked 750ml brown bottle. Has a hazed apricot appearance, small amount of head that dissipates. Nose is bready, spicy, some citrus, some plum, and kind of orangy, like marmalade. Flavour is bready malt, citrus, coriander, a note of orange zest. Has a heavy oily mouthfeel, but goes down amazingly smooth for an 11% ale, I mean it gets top ratings for that alone, the boozy factor doesn't kick in for a while. This truly is an ale to behold and be consumed at least once in a lifetime--twice perhaps if you were smart enough to buy a couple of bottles. This ale is the result of someone who truly loves what they do and who truly knows what they are doing.
