Maredsous 8

Bottled. Pours a slightly hazy brown with reddish hints and a medium sized soda like beige head. Alka selzeresque carbonation. The aroma is yeast, fruity, sweet malt, and spices. The flavor exhibits semi sweet malt, yeast, mild fruits (not as much as the nose would indicate). The finish is dry. Solid but not spectacular, or even above average.

On tap at Sharp Edge. Pours a really dark, yet clear brown with hints of red. A thick off-white head. Nose of rich caramel, toffee, with a touch of figs. Tastes of toffee, brown sugar, and other dark sweetness with a little bit of alcohol. A good yeasty kick too.

Poured a tawny brown with a good sized head and nice lacing. Nose was plums and figs, sweet caramel was the main taste I picked up. An OK Abbey Dubbel, but not outstanding in any real regard

750 brought home by my lovely wife. A very handsome beer on the pour, with ruby shining through the body and a robust, lasting head. Fairly typical aroma for a dubbel, with some dried fig and plum notes along with sweet malts. Those flavors carry through and increase in prominence the further you get into the beer. Strange, slightly tart dry finish gives it a quirky character. Solid brew.

Pour is red/brown,head goes back to good lace cover,carb is good,aroma caramel,mocha.Flavour,coffee,spicey a wine like flavour slightly sour but not bad,finish a mocha taste and slight sour flavour but an okay drink.

A dark brown abbey ale, smells like alcohol and malt, tastes the same. Not much foam. Decent flavor, could be sweeter.

Brown in color with nice head. Nice toffee and malty flavor. This is one of my favorites. Ok, what is going on here? Sometimes the 8 says “Brune” and sometimes there is no “Brune”. I always thought there were two types of 8’s, but I don’t see them listed? I always thought that the 8 without the “Brune” was better....am I crazy? Don’t answer that question!
