Malheur 10

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

Pours a hazy gold color with a heavy white head. Aroma is strong and lasting with a hoppy and vanilla smell. Flavors are very dry and spicy, sweet nuts and orange fruits, and vanilla. A strong alcohol feel and creamy and dry ending and more citrus flavors. Enjoyed it but not my favorit.

Good beer. cloudy amber pour. Dark fruit, caramel malts, some candy sugar, nuts, orange, and some spice. It’s alright, not among my top, but I would drink it again. too expensive though.

Typical slightly hazy dull yellish amber beer, clean bright white cap with a thin but total coverage for retention and some spotty lacing. There is an insane amount of sediment that came out of this bottle. Smells faintly like lemon scented bathroom cleaner on the initial smell. Some light malt paves that over now that it is warmer. It does smell too sweet though with an airy, strange citrus to it, some yeast. That’s about it. It appears that aroma was left out of the recipie. 10% Where is that 10% alcohol taste? Amazingly there is none. This might be the best job of hiding 10% in the taste that I’ve had. A bit over sweet citrus, ok yeast, solid malts, mild spice, the usual hard bitterness but it’s strength is diminished. Too much citrus. Well balanced. Creamy and very very smooth, foamy in the mouth. Cool, I like. Somewhat of a dry finish with a touch of spice. Man, I drank this waaay to fast - seems to happen with beers that lack interest.

Reviewed 6/1/2009 (bottle BB end B88 B89, some gunk under cork, on the mouth, cleaned off): Pours a golden yellow colored body, some cloudiness. Huge white frothy head, diminishing, with good lacing. Light, floral, sweet aroma. Fruity like pears and apple juice. Some maltiness too. Dry sweet taste. Not overly strong, but some good flavor. Some light maltiness. Sweet fruity and floral taste. Some sharp bite, maybe the alcohol. Hides the 10% very well, though. Strong carbonation. Some spiciness, and a little alcohol as it warms more in the aftertaste.

Drank from 11.2 oz bottle in Brussels. Very strong odor and flavor. I’d drink this beer again.

I like this beer...tree fruit and baking spices could be smelled from 2-3 feet away...good carbonation, very complex...good stuff.............................................

Bottled(330ml). -Murky orange/golden coloured, medium sized white head, spicy light alcoholic nose. Malty, pleasant nutty and spicy taste with notes of coriander and yeast. Alcohol is well hidden. Some sediment at the bottom. Very good beer.

Bottle at the Belgian Brasserie Henry, shared with ogivlado.
Poured a murky golden body with a medium sized head. Walnut in the nose, malty with some light alcohol. Interesting. The taste is remarkably light for the strength, malty and nutty, notes of coriander and orange. Subtle. Good beer but it didn’t impress me as much as it should have had.
