De Dolle Dulle Teve 10º (Mad Bitch)

Brewed by De Dolle Brouwers
Style: Abbey Tripel
Diksmuide, Belgium

Rich beer from De Dolle Brouwers again...Hazy orange- amber body with a huge foamy lacing head. The aroma is spicy, complex with coriander, bitter orange, citruses, caramel and candi sugar. Some liqueric-alcoholic perfume. The body is rich, the texture is complex and oily, flavor is spicy with liqueric alcohol, strong hop, sweet caramel but all of this parameters are well balanced. Nice hop, dry aftertaste. Strong personality, agai and again. Is there any job at De Dolle Brouwers? I will give a hand to the old woman!

330 ml. bottle into sniffer. When I popped this it started foaming out gently and stirred up some yeasty i think because it has a very cloudy golen/yeasty tan color. Huge creamy white head that holds and sizzles long and fades to a rocky inch-tall head and stays there (great head). Aroma is unbelievable; I am not the biggest belgian fan, but this is the most full, delicious, complex, creamy, refreshing, and UNIQUE belgian aroma I have encountered. Hints of bannana, vanilla, soft alcohol, sugary cherries, oak, candisugar (but not overly dominating like many other belgians I have had), and more. The flavor is good, but not as balanced. It starts very sugary sweet (pale malt and candi sugar) with some nutty notes, which transitions slowly into a strange bitter sourness, and then about 5 seconds after swallowing fades into a great fruity and creamy finish dominated by vanilla oak and cherries. A bit of booze on the nose, very warming on the stomach. Medium bodied on the palate with very active carbonation that prickles the mouth. Overall: truly astounding aroma, very unique and diverse (amorphous transforming) flavor. Could be very interesting with age.

Pours hazy yellow with a lot of white head. Has the tendency to bubble over. A crisp taste, with a bit of sweetness to it.

Billowing head, hard to control. Smells very sweet, almost like a liquid candy. Hazy golden color. Hoppy for a triple, can sense some spice, maybe nutmeg, and lemons. Bitter and sour finish, but the initial sweetness remains to keep it balanced. Very good beer, will try again

Bottle thx to Noize. Golden colour, white head. Aroma has yeast and some citrus. Flavour has fruits and some spices. Finishes a bit dry, with some pleasant bitterness. This tripel is a winner.

Thanks to toncatcher for bringing this to the Alesmith line tasting on 9/26/2008. Lots of malts and cadied sugars. Very good.

Brewed in Belgium !! Courtesy of AFI96, thanks Waylo. Pours a hazy yellow color with wonderful long lasting white head. The aroma of the abbey triple is awesome !!! smell of candy, zesty fruit, and spices. The taste is of candy, spices, and lemons. Mouthfeel is very spritzy that ends dry !!! De Dolle make some fine beers, get some.

Suprised to see the Alc at 10%. Hidden. Interesting nose of dark butter, wood and orange carmel. Really interesting. Somewhat of an acidic mid and short finish. Still the aroma is outstanding. Almost tannic and closed. Maybe time would help this brew come around? Still very interesting. Would have been better served with friends and shared, not sure even an 12 oz bottle is for just 1 person.
