Malacoda è l’interpretazione Mezzavia delle belgian strong ale: fruttata e corposa, presenta al naso intensi aromi di frutta a polpa gialla, con pera, pesca sciroppata, banana e uva bianca in evidenza; birra piena e rotonda, cela dietro alla freschezza e a leggere note speziate i suoi 7,5° alcolici. La chiusura si caratterizza per un amaro elegante e una secchezza presente non eccessiva, facendone una birra pericolosamente beverina. Il suo nome (Malacoda è un diavolo della commedia dantesca) vuole ricollegarsi alla tradizione belga di questo stile, in cui le strong ale erano battezzate con nomi diavoleschi e demoniaci a sottolinearne l’alto grado alcolico unito alla pericolosa facilità di bevuta.
