Bottle. Pours a deep ruby-hued mahogany brown body with a large creamy off-white head with little sustainability. Aroma is mild muscavado sugars, raisins, dark malts and hints of bread. Taste is bready malt tones up front, then sweet raisins, dark sugars and hints of resin and metal in the finish. Full to medium body, fizzy carbonation. The Malheur series doesn’t really hit the sweet spot for me it seems; I like their special editions much better.

I found Malheur 12 among the Belgians. It is smooth, no excessive wine notes, even at this strength. Yeast fruit balances well with hop and malt. A very nice very big beer.

Il gusto è di zucchero di canna, rum agricolo, caffè e luppolato. 12 Gradi ben nascosti in questa mistura di sapori.
