In February 1994, after 18 months of research, Unibroue launched La Fin du
Monde (the end of the world). It is a 9 percent alcohol, triple fermentation
beer. This type of beer was originally developed by the monks of the Middle
Ages to be served on special occasions. La Fin du Monde is a deluxe beer made
by triple fermentation and a unique way of straining the yeast. This method
produces an unexpectedly subtle flavour. With its champagne-like effervescence,
it has a vigourous presence in the mouth, which accentuates its strong personality.
Slightly tart, with the balanced flavours of wild spices, malt and hops, it
belongs to the class of great Trappist beers and, in this regard, is a North
American first. At meals, it can replace white or red wines and enhances the
flavour of most dishes.
This beer is brewed to honour of the great explorers, who believed they had
reached the end of the world when they discovered America.
