Malheur 10

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

Bottle (750ml). Shared with blankboy, garthicus, GregClow and jerc. Is this really from 2000? best before April 09. Incredibly murky light gold, tons of floaties, huge fluffy white head. Sweet, light aroma, green apple and yeast - floral. Taste is a little boozy, apple and grape, quite sweet, mostly balanced by floral pungency. Light body, stinging life on the tongue, quick malt finish - good, not great.

Bottle at Monks Cafe. Poured a cloud blond color with a small white head. Was obvious from the first sniff that this beer was very well carbonated, almost champagne like.Interesting hop nose and flavor. Seemingly light but with some nice notes and a nice dry finish/

Bright golden color with a thick, rocky head that lasts forever and leaves a thick lacy coating on the glass. Nose of sweet fruits and grass, the grass being a little too much of the overall aroma. An "earthy" note in the nose as well. Tastes of lots of different fruit: grape, strawberry, raspberry, orange. Spice notes in the taste as well. Tart finish with a little bit of spice.

330ml bottle from Bottleworks; Nose is yeasty, citrus, and allspice with a tiny tart note; hazy gold with a huge pale golden head: Flavor is light spiciness, a funky note, and lightly sweet caramel; interesting brew.

25cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, hazy, rocky head, very good brew, balanced

This was a good belgian strong ale. It was a little more overpowering than some of the others i have had but it was decent in its own right. Glad i tried it, probably wont pay the money for it unless i can grab it on tap.

Bottle. Tan color, extremely silty with large flakes of stuff floating around in it. Sweet, yeasty nose. Nice fruit flavors, mostly citrus. Not a very complicated flavor, but a solid effort and way too easy to drink for the strength. Dangerous.

Bottle... Pours a hazy yellow with a huge, rocky, white head. Good retention. The fruity, yeasty aroma lends notes of bread, peach and mandarin orange with undertones of coriander or clove, cookie and fruitcake. Medium to full-bodied and lightly oily with gentle carbonation. Fruity, breadsy and a touch boozy. Medium to heavy honey sweetness; mild alcohol bite and bitterness. Lengthy, sweet, warming finish.
