Malheur 12

Brewed by De Landtsheer
Style: Belgian Strong Ale

330ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) Sweet malty taste but a bit alcoholic. Rye malt aroma. Fairly bitter. Not bad at all, but hard to find anything particularly special in it.

Bottled at Pikkulintu, Helsinki. Red-brown, thick beige head. Aroma is not too good, and it "pours down" the overall grade of the beer. Very sweet taste, sulphur-phosphour in the finish.

Aroma:Strong caramel and dark fruit, vinous aroma.... Appearance:Dark brown,small head.. Flavor:Brown sugar,light dark fruit....

(Bottle, BB 03/03/07) Pours a hazy medium brown body with a medium tan head. Aroma of molasses, old musty books, toasted bread, light clove, and brandy. Flavor of dark fruit (raisins, dates), caramel, and a touch of cocoa.

@ GJBF 2007. Another suprise at the festival. Aroma of berries, sweet malts, toasted, some alcohol and light floral. Flavor was outstanding. Fruity, spices, berries, sugary malts, cherries, light bitterness, and an alcohol finish. Dry, syrupy body. Really outstanding. refreshing.

Dark brown color, with some reddish highlights, and a small tan-colored head, yeasty, sweet toasted and caramelized malt nose, with some dark dried fruits, also with a hint of wildberries, some candi sugar, with a touch mild black chocolate, some alcoholic effluvia, and a subtle lavender petal note, with a faint spicy aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, chocolatey, toasted malt character, with a flowery bouquet of faint lavender, with some sweet candy sugars, with a fruity, raisiny and plummy accent, with a mellow alcoholic port-like mouthfeel, leading towards a malty, warmth dry finish.

bottle. pours reddish brown with white head. nose of plums with lots of sweet alcohol. flavors of sweet plums, alcohol, nuts. mouth feel is watery. decent but way too much alcohol.
