De Dolle Dulle Teve 10º (Mad Bitch)

Bottle. Pour is murky orange with initially thick, bubbly white head that quickly dissipates to a thin bubbly layer. Sweet aroma, not very strong. Taste is a big punch in the face compared to the aroma. Taste has some dark fruit and yeast in it. I notice the warming alcohol effect in my stomach. Mouthfeel is carbonated and acidic. Not bad, the best offering from this brewer I’ve had yet.

Bottle. Orangey beer with a strong white head. The flavour is very, very strong, yeasty fruits and very vinous. The flavour is very strong and mulled fruits. Overall a decent strong beer.

Poured into my Orval glass. Loads of color. Everything from golden to amber and back. Beautiful white head, with some lacing. Hay, lemon/lime, candy sugar, and cookie dough come through in the aroma. A medium candy sweetness to start with a tangy acidic kicker. I can feel a touch of the alcohol in my nose. Fizzy carbonation. Long, alcoholic finish. My tongue is still stinging long after each drink. I don’t really care for that. A fine enough beer. I’d recommed it as I would all of De Dolle’s beers.

Pours a copper orange with a nice fat head. Smells of sharp cheddar and parmesan cheese. It is truly a pleasure to sit and breath in this aroma, spices just tickle my nose and make me smile. Last night I was in a rundown old hotel with a bunch of crack heads all around, and having to use a toilet that reminded me a lot of the one in trainspotting, luckily I didn’t need to sit down, and tonight I am in my apartment listening to the clash and drinking this beer after a productive night at work, things are looking up. Dry and earthy flavors are nice. Rich yeasty finish. Dry cracker flavor is present with a light lemony citrus. The alcohol doesn’t hide, but it works well with the other flavors. This is blissful. A bit of light toffee is coming out late in this, it is really getting good now. And it goes well with a can of beanie weenies and corn chips too. Ap-4 ar-10 tas-8 pal-5 ov-18

From 11.2oz Bottle. Slightly hazy golden pour with a tall, soapy white head. Clouds of yeast empty from the bottle into my glass, transforming the frosted brass haze to a hue of tea tinged honey. Semi sweet aromas of toasted marshmellows melted in a hot banana and seasoned with a pinch of cinnimon spice. A touch of herbal lavender and marigold stems add some gentle hop tones to the otherwise yeast dominated aroma. Light, lively carbonated mouthfeel with loads of yeast and a bit of cinnmon toast. Enticing flavors of teriyaki grilled chicken with some mild clove spice. Final smack is a bit musty, and allows some smokey almond notes and green pepper spice to develop. Delicious example of a tripel.

A very pleasant surprise, based on the label I did not have high expectations but wow, this is quite a brew. Hazy gold with a giant foamy head, aroma of yeasty fruity esters and light spice. Very complex fruity array, alcohol and phenols. Balannce and mouthfell are exceptional, one of the best tripels I have experienced, but jeez what an ugly label.

High head on a dark gold body. Very strong taste, fruity and spicy, a nice but very strong beer. There are dark fruits there, yet sweet enough. Warm and soothing, it is a very nice beer after a large meal.
