When in Quebec I drink a fair amount of Unibroue (Lisa informs me it's
pronounced Unibrew, not Unibrow). Anyway, I
stopped by Trader Joe's today to buy some stuff and was just thinking
that maybe they carried Unibroue when what do I find but Trader Joe's
Vintage
Ale. Big bottle? Check. Cork with wire twise? Check. High alcohol
content? Check. "Dark Ale on
Lees"? Check. Font looks like Unibroue's? Check. Look, here at the
bottom it says it's "brewed by Unibroue". Needless to say, I bought
two bottles.
It's a very dark beer with a big head, velvety mouth feel, a
sort of floral/fruity aftertaste, and that high alcohol
kicker. I advise you to buy some. $4.99/bottle (13.5 ml alcohol/dollar).
