Maredsous 8

Bottle. Pours ruby brown with a beige head. Dark fruit and malt aroma, hints of caramel sweetness. The flavor has fruity malts, with notes of raisin and banana. Not bad.

750ml Bottle: Aroma of malts, light wood, slight alcohol, slight grains, and a hint of nuts. Poured copper/amber/orange in color with a medium to large-sized, rocky, dense, tan head that lasted throughout. Clear. Very sparkling. Flavor is light to medium sweet and slightly bitter. Tastes of malts, yeast, spices, light alcohol, slight chocolate, light caramel, slight brown sugar, light herbs, light wood, and a hint of molasses. Medium body. Thin, dry texture. Soft to average carbonation. Sweet, malty, spiced, woody, slightly alcoholic finish.

very classic beligian ale with overtones of bright spices and a dedicated malty sweetness that relaxes any presence of hops. Had better, had worse, not bad..

smells like classic belgian spices, alcohol detectable, slight coffee / chocolate scent. pours a very nice tan / beige head. body very dark brown hue. more coffee in aroma as it sits longer. actually tastes a little nutty, kind of brown-ale-ish, flavor of sweet, rich malts with bitter aftertaste. overall a good belgian, will sit with the rest of them, recommended.

Crushed with Jakebra. Smooth and nice, but kind of unremarkable. All flavors are subdued, but it’s easy to drink. It’s just aight.

Bottle. Apperance; Dark almost black with a small head. Aroma; some fruits and coffee with a flavor that is smoke and some citrus.

Enjoyed via draft. Pours a deep and dark brown, with a slight light-tan head. Nose of dark fruits and a touch of caramel. Surprisingly low-carbonated for a Belgian Dubbel, however this does bring out a little more of the malt sweetness. Finishes relatively dry on the palate, although a little more dryness my be an improvement.

Not so basic belgian strong ale. dark brown almost clear with a big beige head. Chocolate-coffee in both aroma and flavor. Damn good. slightly bitter with good hops, but a bit watery mouthfeel.
