De Dolle Dulle Teve 10º (Mad Bitch)

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

Bottle at home. Unclaer amber with a very large off white head, good lacings. Aroma heavy malty (fruity, citrus, esters), moderate hoppy, light yeasty. Flavor heavy sweet, moderate bitter, long duration. Medium/full body, lively carbonated, strong in alcohol.

Hazy golden color. Enormous head fades quickly. Extremely carbonated. Spicy aroma kicked up by the carbonation. Tastes of mild fruits with the burn of an alcohol finish. Tingly due to the carbonation. Hides the 10% very well. Awsome beer.

12OZ bottle VIA mibromeo (thanks!). Wow, as soon as i opened this it started crawling out. The head is like 80% of the glass...only got about 1/3 in my mug and the rest is now crawling out of the botlle. What a mess...perhaps infected? Taste is actually not that bad. It is both sweet and tart, with some vanilla, honey, and berry flavors. Carbonation is high, body is medium.

11.2 oz bottle-pours lightly cloudy orange with a small fizzy white whispy head with some lacing along the edge of the glass. nose is fruity/ funky, estery with lots of sweet ripe citrus. smells more funky than alot of trippels i have had A light dusty ester comes in there as well. flavors are sweet, light funk, light citrus, tart yeast, actually very tart, especially on the finish. almost like a grapefuit without the bitterness. finish is very tart with lingering funky yeast. Very nice trippel with some nice coplexity.

This is a dry, well-hoped tripel. Pale in color and an impressive white head. There is a hint of sweetness but this is nothing like a tripel that is actually sweet, like Karmeliet. I taste some grapefruit in addition to the dry hops. I have waited a long time to have this and I’m glad I finally had the chance.

330 ML bottle-Poured a cloudy, hazey off orange color w/almost no head. Sweet aroma of sugar cane/cotton candy. Crisp flavor of citrus & spice, with some dough & brown sugar thrown in. Rich full complex flavor. Long finish. It’s good, but it’s no Special Reserva 2005-but not much else is!!

Rerate-on Tap 11/10/07- Even better than I remember. A lot more of the sweetness came thru on tap. Long smooth finish. Easy drinker.

Pours a hazy thick, orange amber color. The head is minimal. Smell is a bit piny, cedar, and buttery. Taste is yeasty, leathery, and a bit minty. The bottle was cold but the beer poured out perfect temp. This beer had a lot of interesting sediments at the bottlom of the bottle which were very chewy and sweeet/sour.

330 ml bottle from Sam’s in Chicago. Hazy golden amber colour with a mostly lasting creamy off-white head and thick lacing. Caramel, citrus, spices, light acidity, alcohol, floral, and persimmon aroma with dry yeasty notes. Caramel, candy sugar, orange and lime citrus, spicy, and yeasty flavours, with a sweet brown sugar finish. Full bodied, warming, almost chewy mouthfeel, but effervescent. Very tasty, but seems underattenuated for a tripel.
