330ml bottle gift pack from the LCBO Nice slight fruity aroma Pours a deep copper colour with ahuge long lasting head Very easy to drink a little on the thin side The Maredsous I have tried are not the best Belgians but are still drinkable

330 ml bottle from a gift pack purchased at the LCBO. pours clear deep red with a lovely beige head. loses one point for clarity because i like my belgian’s a bit hazy. aroma are dark fruit and roasted malt with a touch of alcohol. flavours are very dark belgian ale oriented but lacking the depth and quality you get in really good examples. this is a servicable brew that is somewhere between a BSA and a dubble.

pours a dark but clear red brown with a beautiful frothy head slow to dissipate. Aroma holds a lot of clove, nutmeg, dark fruit, and yeast- fairly typical belgian smell, but still quite nice. Flavor is less sweet, with more malt presiding on the tongue with a bit of roastiness. Palate is a bit thin, but a very serviceable belgian.

Pours deep reddish-brown. 1/2’’ tan head that settles to a thin sheet of creamyness . Aroma of caramel, a little chocolate toffee, some spice at the end. Begins begins quite roasty, with a little bit of hops, spices, caramel, and dark fruits. Ends crisp, with some spice lingering at the end.
