Malheur 12

Bottled. Very dark brown with a thick but collapsing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of yeast, chocolate, and spices. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of chocolate, alcohol, malt, spices, and yeast, the spices include cinnamon and coriander. The alcohol tickles the tongue, the tickling lasts for a long time after swallowing.

Bottled. Dark ruby. Concentrated aroma of sweet malt and cherries. Thick and syrupy, very sweet and very malty. Very dense and flavourful. Grassy finish with some bitterness.

(Bottle 25 cl) Dark brown, dirty looking beer with large amounts of sediment. Limited, light brown head. An extremely heavy beer, in the same style as the best (and strongest) trappist beers from Rochefort and Westfleteren. Resembles portwine with hints of chocolate, dates -basically anything dark, powerful and sweet. The alcohol warms me up. To be enjoyed in small quantities. 210204

Dark brown colour. Cloudy. Aroma is peachy, with semi-strong alcohol. Fruity-spicy-yeasty character. The fruitiness is lighter stuff, the spices vague and undefinable, the yeast moderate. Texture is slightly syrupy, but this is cut by a decent fizziness for an ale of this strength. Alcohol stays relatively away from the palate. Finishes sweet, malty. Decent beer, but it didn't really give me anything to hold on to - no reason in particular to have it again.

25 cL bottle. Pours deep drown/black with light brown head. Aroma is fruity (plum and raisins), hops, coffee and malt. Taste has the same in a wineous blend - and what a perfect blend! Fruit, coffee and wineous are the keynotes that I would put to this beer. I have a new favourite!
