Bottle: Pour was amber/brown with a fluffy off-white head. Aroma is fruity with yeast, medium malt, and a touch of chocolate. Carbonation was ok but the body was a bit thin. There wasn’t anything jumping out of this beer telling me that it was anything special. Kind of boring for a belgian.

Bottle.33cl. Light brown with a fresh malty nose of dark brown sugar and heavily toasted bread. The flavor is very light and easy with just a bit of coffee.

Had today at neighbors house. I like the Maredsous beers. Dark amber pour. Sweet malts and fruit bomb you right away and some spice and caramel finish the aroma. Flavor is pretty big with sweetness and typical Belgian complexity. Spicy, fruity, and just plain good!

Sweet and malty aroma. Big head lasts long. Flavor is malty, coffee, hint of dark chocolate. Roasted aftertaste is a little watery and alcoholic.

Bottle at Redlight Redlight. Pours a dark amber with a big off white head. Spicy hops, pepper and citrus dominate the aroma. Spicy bitter hop taste with lots of candy sugar malty sweetness. Dangerously tasty and strong, I thought it was a fairly decent beer.
