Maredsous 8

light mahogany color it has a sweet aroma and taste with a somewhat oily body, really coating the mouth.

Draft at Flying Saucer. A brown beer with a very nice head. It has a nice fruity aroma and a very powerful ale taste with quite a lot of bitterness for a Belgian beer. Really an enjoyable beer.

Pours a hazy amber-red color with a large, frothy head. The head sticks around a while and the beer has good lacing. Sweet, almost like bubble gum, with some hints of banana and vanilla. Sweetness in the flavor is somewhat more muted and fades even more in the aftertaste. Has a creamy texture with only slight carbonation. A very nice beer.

On tap at The Happy Gnome in St. Paul, MN. Red brown with small head. Not much aroma at all, much less aromatic than other Belgians. Taste of apple, caramel, hops, and a very sour taste to it. Tastes a bit like a tripel, but is darker a bit more sour. Disappointing as far as Belgians go.

Dark brown colour, light head. Great beer overall- lovely aroma, relatively fruity and hoppy. Smooth and malty taste.

750 ml. bottle, mahogany color with light brown head, dried fruit , raisins and malty, very nice body and finish

Bottle. Poured dark brown, with a small tan head. Quite malty, a little bit too much caramel-flavor. Overall a great beer, but nothing noteworthy.

Unusally little sweetness and acidicy which makes this an impressive beligan dubbel. A sour aspect that didn’t offend but didn’t thill me either. Above average carbonation. Nice.
