Maredsous 8

Bottle. Pours a hazy deep red with a big, fluffy off-white head. Aroma is sweet with yeast, fruity notes and milky overtones. A bit like yoghurt, actually. Cloying. Flavour is pretty much the same, but with a grainy overtone. Spicy notes as it warms. Quite yoghurt-like as well. Cloying. Same finish as well, but with slight apple notes. Overall a well-made beer as such, but too cloying for my taste. 07-02-09.

Poured form a 750ml, brownish gold with light tan head. Not particularly aromatic. Tastes of chocolate and malt. Nice dry finish.

Had it many time by the bottle. Had it by draft in the Sylvia Chantilly. Dark red brown with light tan lasting foam. For me this beer has everything I like, a powerful taste, some fruits and caramel feel, and a good ballance of sweet and bitter and sour, but not too much. this is one of my favorite beer. I love it. I had it many time again and everytime its just wonderfull. I love this beer.

Brown in color with a good sized beige head. Aroma is of caramel, yeast and malt. Taste is fruity with some raisins and prune as well as some caramel and malt.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a large beige head, slowly down. Nose is sweet phenolic alcohol with some spice at the end. Can certainly taste the alcohol. and rest of taste is sweetness, underlied by a roasted malt. Thin to Medium body. Alcohol way too palpable.

Acheté à la SAQ en format de 330ml millésimé 2008 et dégusté dans le verre de maredsous. De couleur brune orangé ambré sans effervescence avec une mousse persistante au verre. Arômes coplexes de chocolat, café, légèrement poivré, malté, une touche de vanille et de date. Un goût de caramel, de chocolat amère avec un finis crémeux. Je peux aussi rajouter un goût de fruits mûres. Belle équilibre!

Anna says: Fairly deep reddish-brown. Served cold but presented a slightly brownish aroma even early on, with a bit of caramel. Fairly malty taste carries some alcohol well. Esters - some darkish fruit. Mirjukka thinks perhaps figs. At the beginning, swallowing leaves a little sour tingle. A little more alcohol near the end. Unusually, Phil did not share this.

Poured dark and rich with a fat tan head and thick lacing. Nose of ripe fruit and a rich cream mouthfeel. Flavors are malty and the finish is long and lightly bitter. Good.
