Malheur Bière Brut (Reserve)

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

bottle 750ml at Gallows Bird Espoo 32 euros poured to Duvel glass by waiter Color:hazy dark yellow nice head sparkling Taste: unbelievable symphony of perfume like hops, citrus, flowers bit sourness and alcohol level well hidden. I am speechless again. First time tasted this few years back.

I found this 2007 version on sale at Green’s at an unbelievable price of $10 a bomber. I guess good things do come to those who wait (a year). The cork was easily extracted, and as soon as it was freed, the beer started to foam upwards in the bottle. The process continued in the Duvel tulip glass, forming a big foamy head occupying half of the space. The beer itself looked cloudy, pale golden, and airy. The aroma was very yeasty and bready, and some floral smells lingered on. Tasted peppery, sweet, musty, and phenolic and semi dry. The alcohol was well hidden and I was surprised to glance up at the listing to see 11% put up there. Not as clean as I would have liked in the finish as some metallic bitterness lurked in there. Airy and creamy in the mouth. A bit too rich for my waller at the regular price, but the sale was sweet indeed.

chiara schiuma abbondante e molto persistente profumi lievemente erbaceidi luppolo poi dolci dolci in bocca ben bilanciata non molto aromatica ma fine

Slight cloudy blonde hue, with an off-white head, yeasty champagne-like fruity nose of subtle lemon, grapefruit, green apple and pear fruitiness, with a hint of wild yeast funkiness, some mild honeyed pale malt accents, a note of herbal, floral hop citrusy, with a kind of lemon lollipop aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, mild zesty, sweet honeyed pale malt character, with a faint wet oakiness, a subtle funkiness accent, with a some candy sugar, candied lemon peel notes, a nice flowery hop citrusy accent, within a warmth mouthfeel, leading towards a malty, lemony, warming, leafy bitterness finish.

Clear yellow with a huge head. Sweet citric aroma of orange peels, apricot and some yeast. It has an immense sparkling palette and sweet spicy flavours that reminds a bit of Triple Karmeliet and Westmalle Triple. Its a very fine Brut!

Bottle with a best before end date of 30/06/2008 at the Fort Wayne Winter Gathering.Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, and hazy. Nose was fruity, sweet, spicy, yeasty, and citrus. Flavor was sweet, fruity, spicy, mildly hoppy, and a dry finish. Tingly, burning sensation for the mouthfeel. Light in body.Quaffable but I just didn’t get in to the flavor of this one which is unfortunate since this is one of my favorite beer styles and it was a disappointment.

This corked and caged bottled brew marked 30/06/2008 from a bottle shop poured a very large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized white colored bubbles that were and left behind a softly carbonated and thick foamy lacing. The aroma was farmhouse funky and malt hop. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The mild flavor contained notes of malt and dough. An OK brew just nothing special.

Clear goldblond coloured beer, lots of carbonation, small white head. Fruity aroma. Tastes a bit like tonic, finish is short with some alcolic touches.
