The Alvinne Melchior was one of the beers I had at Max's 72-hours of Belgian Beers Fest. I tried this one cause it was billed as a "11% Mustard Ale". Mustard in beer you ask? Yeah I was curious too.
So the beer was handed to me and was amber in color with a very small white head on top of it. The body was clear and you could see some sparkling bubbles in there. Within seconds the head was fully diminished.
The aroma was very disappointing. When you think of something that is labeled a "mustard ale" your mind sets you up for something that would have a spicy nose on it. This nose did in fact have a light spice smell to it, but was very week and underwhelming. Being an 11% beer, I figured I would have picked up on some alcoholic notes, but I didn't even get much of that.
The beer drinks OK. I was starting to think all the buzz was about nothing. There were some feint dark fruit notes in there with some light spices. It was only in the aftertaste that I could even pick up on the slightest hints of mustard seed. Again, considering this was an 11% beer, it was pretty bland.
Personally, I was not a big fan of this at all. In fact, I don't even think I'd try this one again. Sure there wasn't much in the way of flaws. The beer was crafted OK, it was just really boring and bland. Huge disappointing here!

This one poured a copper color. The aroma is malty but also contains a hint of citrus and alcohol. The flavor is rather sweet with some dark fruits, toffee, crystal malts, and syrup of some sort. I taste some limes in this? Well anyway overall it was pretty good.

Hazy nutbrown colour, mediumsized beige creamy head. Aroma is fruits, honey blueberries/raspberries/strawberries and some slight yeast. Flavour is leather, yeast, a lot of spices and some caramel malts. A rather twisted brew, but at the same time very pleasant.
