Maredsous 8

Brewed by Brouwerij Moortgat
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Breendonk-Puurs, Belgium

Malts are perfected. Take a banana liquor with some dutch malts and somehow keep it Belgium. A truly cherished end of the day dessert. Dark beauty with steady head. This one puts Belgium back on the map for me.

On tap at Mahars. Poured a nice brown with not too much head, aroma was tangy and sweet. Flavor very fruity with some good dried fruit taste and brown sugar.

Had this from the tap last Sunday at the winking lizard on bethel rd after a nice afternoon at Inniswood Metrogardens with my good friend Heather. The fact that it was preceeded by an Irish Car Bomb is of no consequence. Nose of grain and yeast. Pours into the snifter a dark walnut. The thin off white head is mostly diminishing with fair lace. The toasty front moves to a warm slightly alcoholic middle with a very brief finish. The medium body is lively and creamy. The finish is slightly cloying.

Pour is a deep dark red with a large tan head. Aroma is nice with some caramel malts and a nice dark fruit. Flavor is a little bland with some roasted malts and creamy sweetness. Alcohol is noticable. Not the best dubble by a long shot.

Fruity and malty taste that finishes with a hint of bitterness; dark brown; frothy white head; pretty good

On tap at Flying Saucer in Ft. Worth. The glass seems a bit contaminated with smoke, but I get a bit of winey smell of plum. Smooth and malty wiith sweet yeastyness. I need a bottle at home for proper appreciation. It’s delicious.

Light brown coloured beer with medium carbonation and medium off white head. Malty fruity aroma. Bitter full palate. Bitter ending sweetening off (coffee tase).
