Emmanuel De Landtsheer started the brewery in Flemish Brabant in 1997 but the family had a long tradition in brewing.

“Malheur 12 is brewed with a significant portion of dark aromatic malt, providing some interesting nutty aromas and flavours” as described by the late Michael Jackson.

This is a rich, dark in color, refermented and bottle conditioned ale.   You can’t help but notice the hop aroma and well-balanced flavor this beer exhibits.   A touch of sweet alcohol but still very dry.   Honey and rum notes.  

Current Beeradvocate rating: A-

What I like about this beer is the mouthfeel and how easy this beer drinks.   The richness of this beer would be great with a steak and a cold winter night.  Watch out, this beer comes in @ 12% ABV.   Wow!
