Malheur 10

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

On tap at O’Briens in San Diego. I guess this is their new flagship brewery taking its rightful place alongside Pliny as beer on tap every night. Not a bad choice in my book. Quality golden Belgian strong ale. Aroma is loaded with sweet fruit esters, notably banana, clove and some coriander spice thrown in. Sweet malt base with hints of pear and a full bodied finish. Hint of bitterness and mint leaf on the palate.

UPDATED: MAR 5, 2008 Hmmm. Good beer, but not as good as others in the same style. Tried it at the12 hour Belgian beer partyin Carlsbad, CA. Possibly the best beer tasting ever,with 70 bottled rare and expensive beers and 20 on draft. 7474,14:3.6 Tried again as a sample from alohaC at the Pizza Port bottle shop. A Belgian triple-ish. Some corriander in the aroma. Leans sweet. A little over carbonated. Mixed small and microbubbles. Delicious. 8,4,8,4,16:4.0 Tasted at 2008 Woodshop hosted by cquiroga. Light yellow. Medium head. Sweetish. Very nice.Aroma=8,Palate=3-4:4,Taste=8,Appear=2-3:3,Ove 4.1

75 cl bottle. Golden color. Big white head. Very balanced beer. Sweet, citric, nuts, hops, yeast. (RBNAG’07 in Grimstad Nov. 3th.)

UPDATED: JUN 5, 2008 Bottle, courtesy Papsoe. Pours a very cloudy, murky light caramel color, with a thin watery head and nice lacing on the glass. Aromas of rich caramel, coriander, plum, brown sugar, and sweet vanilla waft up my beak. Flavors are sweet, and have a rich feel, with plum, cantaloupe, guava, and liquidy, oozing caramel. Bright taste, sparkling mouthfeel, and the alcohol is masked well, but the beer is still a fine sipper.

Lovely aroma of malt and fruit. Moderate tight lace, but not that carbonated. Wonderful mouth feel and the blast of peach and malt are really enjoyable. Sweet but not cloyingly so. Not too many spices, just fruit, malt, and some lingering sweetness. Long enjoyable finish. I like it. 330ml bottle, which seems to be a fine presentation. No sediment. Alcohol not discernible. Quite enjoyable medium body Tripel with a fruity malty finish. Not a complex Tripel. Just an easy drinker.

A clear yellow/orange colored beer, with a nice bubbly white head. Aromas of hop and flowers. fruity and a bit of lemon. There is also some coriander. A very strong taste of spices and hop. It’s peppery. You taste the alcohol. there is a bittersweet after taste. A very good beer.

The nose on this ale is of fresh baked apple pie with a mild hop backbone.Flavor is mildly fruity and well structured. Pair with brie,blue cheese,or a manchego.

Bottle 0.33 l. Bought Humletorvet Slagelse. Pleasanr sweet fruity aroma filled with flowers. Pale unclear yellow colour with high white head. Flavor interesting an pleasant, although I can’t figure it out for sure. Sweet, high alcohol and some hops. Soft full-bodied mouthfeel.
