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.

Pours a rich, opaque, light chocolaty brown with a fine, fluffy, pale tan head. Appetizing aroma is fruity and slightly smoky with some yeasty hints. Sharp flavor is strongly fruity, and has undertones of malt and yeast; and it goes down with a smooth, lively texture.

An old-time favorite to me, in a 33 cl bottle with an ivory-colored tag, poured in a Maredsous glass (bought at least 6 in a package with Maredsous 8 and 10 in 75 cl bottles and a glass, for 19,99$, last summer, (what a dea!l). A well balanced brew, pretty carbonated, rather sweet and spicy aroma, lasting foam, but with a sweetness in the taste that is more subtle then many beers of this kind, with a lot of complexities in the flavors, ranging between brown sugar, fruityness, sourness and and bitter pleasant finish. A beer I often felt tasted differently... Great intriguing beer.

Never seen this before - the pic on this page is out of date. The 8 (brune/bruin) is also not on their web site anymore.

Served in a beautiful Maredsous logo stemware at a launch party at the Bavarian Lodge in Lisle, IL. Poured a dark brown with ruby tones followed by a thick, foamy, off white/light tan head, and thick, clingy lacing. The aroma was of smooth malt, dark fruit, tartness and vinous notes. These and a little caramel, gave the flavor a consistent semi-sweetness. Medium to full bodied, with good carbonation and mellow dryness into the finish.
