Malheur 10

Brewed by De Landtsheer
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Buggenhout, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Bright golden color with a thick, rocky head that lasts forever and leaves a thick lacy coating on the glass. Nose of sweet fruits and grass, the grass being a little too much of the overall aroma. An "earthy" note in the nose as well. Tastes of lots of different fruit: grape, strawberry, raspberry, orange. Spice notes in the taste as well. Tart finish with a little bit of spice.

330ml bottle from Bottleworks; Nose is yeasty, citrus, and allspice with a tiny tart note; hazy gold with a huge pale golden head: Flavor is light spiciness, a funky note, and lightly sweet caramel; interesting brew.

This was a good belgian strong ale. It was a little more overpowering than some of the others i have had but it was decent in its own right. Glad i tried it, probably wont pay the money for it unless i can grab it on tap.

Bottle. Tan color, extremely silty with large flakes of stuff floating around in it. Sweet, yeasty nose. Nice fruit flavors, mostly citrus. Not a very complicated flavor, but a solid effort and way too easy to drink for the strength. Dangerous.

Bottle... Pours a hazy yellow with a huge, rocky, white head. Good retention. The fruity, yeasty aroma lends notes of bread, peach and mandarin orange with undertones of coriander or clove, cookie and fruitcake. Medium to full-bodied and lightly oily with gentle carbonation. Fruity, breadsy and a touch boozy. Medium to heavy honey sweetness; mild alcohol bite and bitterness. Lengthy, sweet, warming finish.

Starts out w/ a peachy, rosy scent. Has a heavy white foam that takes a while to dissipate. Has a very nice rosy/fruity taste and a bit of flower in the aftertaste. A very well done beer, and also the 10% alcohol makes it a lot stronger than what’s normally available
