La Fin du Monde was developed through 18 months of research on a unique strain of yeast originating from Europe. It is brewed in honor of the intrepid European explorers who believed they had reached the “end of the world” when they discovered North America ‘the new world’. This triple-style golden ale recreates the style of beer originally developed in the Middle Ages by trappist monks for special occasions and as such it was the first of its kind to be brewed in North America.

One more Unibroue brew and their most acclaimed beer.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a large snifter. Pale straw like yellow color. A lot of haze and some white Belgian yeast suspensions towards the bottom. Excellent one finger thick white colored head with long retention. Awesome Belgian lacing on the sides. No bubbles seen.

A very good aroma filled with some strong dry fruits, dates and stuff. A good spicy and fruity nose filled with some typical Belgian stuff. One of the better aromas i have experienced. Some clove like phenols and slight banana hints. A very subtle malt profile. Very well hidden alcohol.

Taste is crisp and soft. Malts are hidden along with the alcohol. Prominent flavor is of some clove like phenols and a lot of fruity esters. Just a tad hint of bitterness mainly due to some hops and spiciness. Finish is more on the semi-dry to slightly sweeter side.

Mouth feel is very well medium body. Crisp, effervescent, smooth and easy. Moderate to slightly high carbonation. No astringency and no alcohol warmth.

Pours a bright orange - gold with lot of head and lacing, be ready with that glass! Tastes like funk (horse blanket), banana, clove, a little pepper, spicy, dry. Not quite as good as Westmalle but it’s a very good beer and the price is right, cheers!

The pour is copper colored with a thick & foamy white head. The taste is baked biscuit, banana, clove, honey, & slight caramel. The 9% abv is hidden well. This is a good beer, but I don't think it's world class. Cheers! A-
