Malheur 10

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Corked and caged bottle with a best before end date of 01-02--09. Large fizzy white head that mostly diminished, spotty amounts of lacing, visible carbonation, hazy, and a yellow hue. Nose was spicy, sweet, malt, yeast, lightly and fruity. Flavor was malt, fruity, sweet, mildly vinuous, refreshing, spicy, and a hint of sourness. Mouthfeel was tingly and somewhat oily. Medium in body. The ABV was not over-the-top in the taste of this beer, it was easy and delightful to drink, worthy of a try, and hopefully this one will come my way again some day because I definitely enjoyed it.

Took ages to get the damn cork out, then i finally did, it spewed out all over my carpet and coffee table, drenching a harmless runner....Pours a sunrise dull orange...head is good, has healthy foam pool..Lacing is up to the task...Taste is alright, sweet and mellow, but maybe too mellow- seems to lack any assertiveness or true deep character!..could be very nice if more effervescent or i can see it being better on tap possibly?... all in all: A nice easy beer that would be perfect for a novice or if you are in the mood for a small Belgian beer (that being said,the alcohol is quite well masked!)... good offering but.."seems a bit shallow and pedantic"

Corked bottle. Pours luscious and vivid cheddar orange, with nice carbonation, active yeast sediment, and a beautiful crowning head of white that leaves a beautiful latticework of lacing around the glass. Aroma is mixture of coriander and orange that leaves a zesty zing along the olfactory path. Nice raisin/honey blend initially on the tongue, followed by a faint floral hops note. Touches of yeast tingle the taste buds. Full, slimy mouthfeel that leaves a lingering note of sourness on the tongue. Definite repeat.

Bottle conditioned, at Essen Kerstbierfestival 2004. Gold, low white head and moderate condition. Grainy sweet aromas, sweet malt and alcohol in the mouth and lingering grain in the finish. Unmemorable.

Bottle looks simple, but good. Beer in the glass very zippy, huge head. Starts strong, a bit alcoholic-soapy, fruity like peaches. More and more spicy. Finish still soapy-sharp, still fruity. Nice!

Attractive white head, yellow body. Curious nose with a yeast note. The alcohol is in the aroma’s essence but not as much in the flavor, which is fruity (melon + lemon). A little astringent on the palate.

From bottle at ’t Brugs Beertje. Great aroma with perfumy notes and light honey. Little bit of hops and some candy sugar. Fairly standard tripel aroma, though it’s a Belgian Strong. Medium amber-golden hazy body with creamy white lacing head. Medium body with medium carbonation. Starts sweet with musky grain. Nice alcohol warming. Tasty with light chalky after. Sweet and smooth.

Hazy yellow with small floaties and a white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, fruity, yeasty and spicy. Flavor is quite sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 050911
