De Dolle Dulle Teve 10º (Mad Bitch)

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

Tall creamy head on a hazy orange golden body. Strong fruity nose of oranges, yeast and alcohol. Nice heavy fruity flavor with plum, oranges and hay tones. Soft sour aftertaste. De Dolle amazes me once again!!

[950-20071211] 330mL. Leafy grass booze hops aroma with muted toasted malt. Clear, dark orange body with a long-lasting creamy off-white head. Sweet malt boozy cookie dough yeast flavour. Medium-full body is thick. Alcohol perks up a lot, otherwise quite nice.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & blankboy - courtesy of Harry. Dark yellow, small white head, lots of floaties. Bottle continued to foam out of the bottle , even as we half poured it and let it sit - weird. Strong alcohol in aroma. Slight citrus and light malt as well, but who am I kidding this was all alcohol. Taste was very strong as well. Surprisingly though, I thought it made a good effort to balance itself off and it became a very enjoyable beer as I sipped it (the last one of a 19 sample night). Some strong banana flavours emerged as well. Not overly complex, but a strong and tasty brew that I am having a hard time describing (not for the first time). Recommended, weird label, name, and all.

Bottle: Aroma is a nice blend of strong citrus, yeast, clove, and light pepper. Pours a dull cloudy yellowish-orange with a huge off-white head with excellent retention. Flavor is sweet citrus and yeast up front. Finish has lots of orange peel, lots of spice (clove and maybe ginger), and light pepper, as well as a light acidity. It’s about time I’ve tried this considering how many times I’ve passed it by assuming I already had. A very good beer and definitely one of their best. The best Tripel I’ve had so far.

Bottle. Aroma: cinnamon or nutmeg, bready, wheaty, banana. Appearance: murky, thick, awesome head, beautiful lacing, liquid caramel color. Flavor: spicy, dark fruits, plantain, light grains. The palate is strongly carbonated. I don’t normally like tripels, but this sucker’s tasty.

From bottle. Has a dry and mildly funky nose at first, bit of aged straw with a hint of lactic acidity. Mild yeasty aroma, with some lemon rind and light bubblegum. Some floral hoppiness, but faint. Hazy golden amber liquid with a foamy-pillowy off-white lacing, lasting head. Medium bodied, with medium to heavy carbonation and a distinct alcoholic warming among the fizzy quality. Starts with boozy alcoholic warmth, pilsner malt and some honey. Candi sugar sweetness and a bit of carbonic acidity. Yeasty notes with decent chalky bitterness in the finish, but still plenty of sweet and vaporous alcohol. This is one you can feel. Pear and grain, honey and wheat. Light astringent-sweet after.

Can’t understand the infatuation with this one. My only thought throughout drinking this beer was alcohol, alcohol, alcohol. I’ve had much better with higher alcohol percentages.

Vanilla and bananas in the nose. Attractive brew: hazy gold color and a huge foamy head. Citrusy, orangy tastes blended well with a strong yeast component. Rough and dirty palate - very assertive, but oh so good.
