This beer is refermented in the bottle and has a shelf life of 5 - 8 years. Apparently after this length of time it will have notes of creme brule and fruit cake, sounds like it would be worth putting one away for a future Christmas. Unibroue in Chamblay, Quebec, Canada has a selection of interesting beers, there are severasl more that I will be sampling.
This beer has an intriguing deep coppery red colour, it's quite cloudy in appearance with a nice foamy head.
It has a very distincitve aroma of citrus and yeast at the forefront, you can smell the malts, spiciness and hops in the background.
The yeastiness comes to the forfront in the first sip with some maltiness, with hops and citrus notes coming in and fading to a nice clean finish with a hint of the yeastiness, hops and citrus.
It's a slightly thick brew, the cloudy texture is present in the mouth feel.
Overall this is an intriguing beer. Brewed in the style of Belgian Abbey style ales, it is great paired with rich foods. I enjoyed one with some hot turkey sandwiches and it was the perfect complement.
