Unibroue 15
Been holding on to this one for a loooong time. Pours nearly as purty as does Duvel. Giant white head with glistening champagne bubbles atop candied honey orangeyellow. Smells of strong white peppers, cloves, black peppers, and wonderfully fiery Belgian yeast. Smells better than Duvel, actually. Woah. Tastes great but slightly imperfect. All the peppry burniness of a good Belgian Strong Pale is here (like a witbier mixed with fire and caramel), but there's a slightly off medicinal aftertaste that takes things down just a wee bit. Nothing close to ruining the beer, but it does ruin its perfection. Wonderful. Grab a bottle if you can find one.
