Maredsous 8

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a minimal red rim and a dense tan head. Dried and overripe fruit aroma, light wineous and with a mild malt note. Medium to full bodied. Distinct underlying fruit note in the flavour. Swept is dark malt flavours and a mild yeasty mellow and light spice accent. Has a light tar-ish flavour it. Lingering roasted malt and fruity finish.

330 ml, bb 12/09. Hazy copper-brown with a medium-sized and durable meringue cap. Spicy molasses, raisins, pumpkin pie, and metallic ozone aroma. Great melange of flavors include mocha, black pepper, dates, cedar, oak, caramel apple, vanilla, whiskey, salty leather, ozone, and more. Even some slight cumin in the aftertaste at times. Light-medium body is dry, slightly alcohol tingly and warming, but too airy-frothy in the mouth. The body problem is the only flaw, but this is still a first-tier dubbel.

Pours a dark mahogany color with a medium sized fizzy head. Nose is malty, wheat, metalic, and of sugar. Mouthfeel is acidic and sweet with a salty medium finish. I was less than impressed by this beer.

Tasted with ilovedarkbeer. Aroma is wierd, metal and malt. Looks fizzy, with a light brown ead and a nice brown body. Taste is much nicer than the aroma. Salty and belgian tasting with a metal finish.
