Sep 18, 2008 750 ml bottle. Pours a clear reddish-brown with a sizable and frothy tan head. Some plums in the aroma, as well as chocolate and hops. Well-balanced bitterness, full flavor. Notes of chocolate, spicy finish with a touch of alcohol (which is otherwise well-hidden). Quite nice and very drinkable for its strength.

Sep 16, 2008 From bottle. Part of Friday night beer tasting at local market. Pours dark amber with a nice off-white head. Aroma is yeasty with substantial malt. Thin mouthfeel based on alcohol content.

Sep 15, 2008 Bottle, 75cl sealed with cork.
Very nice aroma. I sense both strawberries and cherries in this beer, and also a load of chocolate. The aroma is close to 8 instead of 7. The appearance isn’t worse either, actually the brown colour is very beautiful, and the head lasts nearly forever. It even becomes more dense if you leave it be for a while.
Now to the important stuff:
The taste. At first it seems quite sweet and chololaty, but then the alcohol goes through, together with a taste that reminds me of matured beer on casks. Some might say that the alcohol is too obvious, but I actually find it pleasing. It creates some kind of harmony, with the sweetness allthough the taste unfortunately isn’t as complex as I hoped for. It is a bit thin for a 8% bee, but all in all a quite pleasing beer.

Sep 14, 2008 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.

Sep 12, 2008 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!
