The second beer in the Unibroue anniversary beer verticalThis beer has a malty chocolate smell with a hint of Belgian spice. The color is a medium brown and very cloudy, can just barely see through the glass. The foam is thick with moderate retention, keeping the beer well covered in foam.
The taste is sweet with chocolate and candy flavors. There beer drys out and has plenty of bitterness making the tongue water. There is a little earthy taste to the beer. There is some slight spice flavors. The mouthfeel is full with plenty of carbonation. The finish is dry with some spice notes.
This is a completely different beer from the 16. More dark malt, less spice flavors, more bitterness. Two very different beers. I like the 17 more, I think this is a more unique beer with good flavors of chocolate and spice. The 16 reminded me a lot of other Unibroue beers and was unimaginative.

This beer is 7th in a series and they are all different recipes. 17 is like 15 more than 16. Prior to that was the Edition 2005, Edition 2004, 11 and 10. Yeah, there were only 4 years between 10 and 15, but they brew beer better than they count.
