Maredsous 8

750 mL into trappist glass. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a massive tan head that settles down and leaves sheets of lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate, caramel, Belgian yeast, dark fruits. Taste is overall dry and carboardy with some soy sauce. Notes of brown sugar, spice, crystal malt, rum raisin, etc. try to show through, but this beer really is dry, watery, and soy sauce with a cardboard aftertaste. Not a very good dubbel. A disappointment.

Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass to drink. The beer was a cloudy brown-copper color with a big creamy-bubbly tan head that head great retention and good cling too. The aroma featured caramel and dense figs with raisin some pine and grain hops too. The taste was mostly sweet and fruity with a slight raisin flavor and a bit of sourness too. The body was crisp and wet with a medium mouthfeel; it was a bit creamy and had good fizz. I enjoyed this beer a good deal.

Expected much more from this one - doesnt worth it at all. Appearance: large, creamy and light-brown initial head.Good lacing, fully lasting longevity. Flat, thick and dark-brown body. Aroma: caramel, moderate malty, cookies and milk chocolate. Initial flavor: lightly bitter and sweet. Final flavor: lightly sweet and moderately bitter - average duration. Palate: light-medium body, lively carbonation, watery texture and metallic finish. Light oxidation.

Love this beer from the bottle to the last drop. Long brune pour - with an off white foamy head. Automatic dark appearance and nose of malt right from the start. A swirl brough out a little more chocolate undertones and some smoke. If it sounds heavy to the nose it isn’t. A first taste hits with malt and dark goodness. Some rasin, drid fruit taste on the swallow. Nice aftertaste and not over powering at all. Just right on the carbonation so it doesn’t stick around like a 60/ 80/ or Scotch Ale would. The alcohol was present but this is very drinkable. One of my new favorites.

Bottle 33cl. Trappist Glass. Poured a nice clear dark brown, very clean beer. Good nose, although I can only remember a malty smokeness. Strong flavor as expected and an alcohol warning on the throat on theway down. Nice after taste. Definietly one to have again.

(Re-rate, 0.75 l bottle) Gusher. Brown and hazy. Medium sized and lightly tan coloured head. Malty and peppery aroma. Medium bodied and bit dry palate with medium carbonation. Malts, bitterness, lightly pepper, sweetness and little bit of chocolate. Harsh aftertaste of chocolate and bitterness. (Bottle, 0.33 l) 6-3-6-3-13=3.1
