Malheur 12, Flanders, Belgium

Name - Malheur 12
Type - Dark Ale
Vol. 12%, 330mL crown sealed bottle
Brewer - De Landschteer
Origin - Buggenhout, Flanders, Belgium
Importer - FM Liquor, Cottesloe, WA
3.2 standard drinks, and you'll feel them upon draining your glass (or, more rightly, on standing up). Fine, pearly, long-lasting head. Aromatic dark ale. Yeasty/malty flavour. Finished strong and smooth. Round mouth feel. Not to be trifled with! Higher in content but less bitter than the 10%. Highly enjoyable. Perhaps the second would constitute misfortune, though!

Malheur 10, Flanders, Belgium

Name - Malheur 10
Type - Blonde Ale
Vol. 10%, 330mL crown sealed bottle
Brewer - De Landschteer
Origin - Buggenhout, Flanders, Belgium
Importer - FM Liquor, Cottesloe, WA
Verdict - Ah, where do you begin when talking about 10% beers? They taste better by the sip. They always start strong and bitter, but by the end, you're enjoying the round, full mouth feel, and the bitterness is now just a sharpness. Doubtless keeps well in the bottle, has a fine, pearly head, and and a beautful, warm citrus taste. Coming in at almost 3 standard drinks, it's a beautiful relaxer.

Malheur 6, Flanders, Belgium

Name - Malheur 6
Type - Blonde Ale
Vol. 6%, 250mL crown sealed bottle
Brewer - De Landschteer
Origin - Buggenhout, Flanders, Belgium
Importer - Australian Trade Partners, Underwood, QLD
Verdict - A nice light blonde ale. Hoppy and competent, but not a total knockout. Well worth another drink, though! I think Malhout is "misfortune" in French, but there's no misfortune here, apart from a Flemish brewery using the French language...
