Malheur 10

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

This Belgian strong ale has a cloudy, golden color with a big, rocky, white head that is fully lasting. The aroma is fruity and spicy with some hoppiness and a mild, malty sweetness evident. It has a medium body with lively carbonation. The flavor is nicely balanced between the intense fruitiness, maltiness, and hoppiness. Apples, pears, and apricots all are evident in the flavor. The finish is long and fruity, with a nice, floral hop burst. The alcohol is well hidden. A great ale!

33 cl bottle. Appearance: Light golden and hazy, very sizzling white head. Aroma: Very flowery and fruity overwhelming hops, hints of citrus. Flavor and Palate: Fruity, sweet and fizzy. Has a dry finish and at the end of the glas it was slightly bitter. Overall ’a wolf in sheep’s clothing’. You would not expect such a nice and light beer when knowing about the 10 %.

Citrus and spicy aroma. Amber/golden colour, lots of foam. Very full. Hop, malty sweet, citrus and spices. In the finish it burns in your throat and becomes a bit more hoppy.

Bottle, from jbrus. The main word that comes to mind when thinking of this beer is S-P-I-C-E, and I'm not talking about a sattelite TV channel. Golden color, huge head. Spice, Luby's rolls, and yeast all prominent in the flavor. Dry, clean finish that leaves you wanting more. Nice!!

Golden hay color with a rich, white head. Yeasty, banana aroma. A great looking beer for sure. Just an amazing beer. Sweet and sticky bananas lightly spiced with pepper.

Bottle shared at RBSG 2005 thanks to EyeDrinkAle. Has a glowing, muky golden yellow body with a white hue and some floaties swirling around the glass. Very fresh tasting - I don’t think this is a 2000 vintage, rather just uses MM/2000 in the name - with some fluffy marshmallow flavors, along with some banana, peppery, spicy yeast and finishing with some floral flavors. A very well made beer, and something I was fortunate enough to try.

Rating # 1500. I carried this back all the way from Belgium, only to see it locally a few weeks later. Very much like a tripel. A big beer, but very easy to drink. Aroma has considerable yeast and fruit. It reminds me of Tripel Karmeliet. Flavor has salt, but also sweetness from sugar and fruit, and light spice. I do get a little coriander and just a hint of citrus. A very nice looking beer, with a cloudy gold color and tall white head. I am impressed by this brewery.

33 cl bottle. Served in Leffe chalice. Dark gold with quite a bit of floating sediment. Nice head. Delicious citrusy and spicy aroma - very delicate and inviting. The taste is nicely full and rounded, with citrus-notes and pleasantly warming alcohol. Impressive finish. The mouthfeel is light and airy and very full. Good drinkability - especially for such a strong beer.
