Pours a deep red with a thin tan head. Aroma reminds me of raisins. Notes of caramel. Taste is sour but some mild sweetness. Not exactly what I expected. Fizzy mouthfeel and palate is thin. Could have been a lot better in my opinion. I kind of feel like i got a bad bottle because of how sour it is. I’ll have to try to find another one to re-rate.

Pours dark brown with a thinnish head, aroma is very earthy with dark malts and dark fruits. Flavor has caramel, licorice, dark cherry, roasted malt, coffee, and finishes with a lingerimg, complex palate. very enjoyable beer.

Came to the first belgium beerhouse in Zagreb. Asked for Leffe brune. They didn’t have it because, it was probably too mainstream. Tried a couple of abbey beers. Discovered Maredsous. I’ll never drink any other beer again.

Nice beer. Awesome caramel color, and a sweet smell. Taste is slightly sweet, with again, a little caramel. Goes down smooth. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Malty_MacHops (85) - Eastanollee, Georgia, USA - NOV 22, 2011
The aroma is dark fruits. Raisins and notes of Worstcheshire The color is deep red almost burgundy. The taste echos the dark fruits with notes of banana and some clove. The palate is thinner than expected, but refreshing. Overall a decent dubbel, I have had some better though. Goes great with bbq ribs.
