La Terrible
Pours out like chocolate syrup, thick and deathly black. Big one inch head, carbonation releases in pops, lacing in thick webs. Dusty and yeasty aroma, slight candied cherry. Hot cinnamon notes early, flares into the thick maltiness -- which seems mainly constructed of a spiced rum flavor. Finishes with light bittering but plenty of overall body. You can certainly notice alcohol heat and the beer is well put together in the flow of flavor. In some ways this is too big, more showcasing of subtle flavors would offset the alcoholic toxicity better -- as it is, Unibroue does better beers with just slightly less strength, in my opinion.
