Maredsous 8

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

Bottle. Pours a reddish brown with a thin off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some dark fruit (sweet) and some yeast/bread. Flavor is heavy with the caramel malts, some nutty notes, the dark fruits and yeast. A touch on the dry side. Quite drinkable.

Nice cloudy head and wonderful plum and ripe fruit and dry nuts aroma throughout, very dense but clean and easy going down. Great example of the dubbel style.

Pours a clear brown. Moderate head retention. Toasted bread aroma gives way to sweet toasted malt flavor. Finishes quickly. Fairly simple and pleasant dubbel.

Bottle. Poured a reddish brown. Translucent with a nicely lacing off-white head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Fairly dry nutty character to this sweet ale. Full bodied.

Pours a hazy dark mahogany color. Complex aroma, difficult to pinpoint, there’s alot of malt, caramel and perhaps some dried fruit. maybe even licorice. Flavours are rich and complex, touches of cherry, red grapes and overripe dark fruits. Finishes with light malt sweetness. A good sweet-tasting drinkable beer.

330 ML Bottle-Trade w/pepsican-Poured dark brown w/some slight mahogany overtones. Kind of a wet grass/hay aroma. Has a lot of carbonation; traces of dark fruit, plums, grass/hay, raisens, toffee, & a little bit of wet leather. Wasn’t as crazy about this one as I was the 10, this one was nore like a brown ale, found it to have a little bit of a stale taste to it, kind of like an old shoe. Just not my bag. Needs some more sweetness/freshness, at least for me.

Draft at Fred’s Rivertown Alehouse. Thick grainy mahogany body with ruby highlights. Thin but bubbly/moussy tan head with dense sheets of lace. Light pitted tree fruit nose. Bit of malty sweetness. Beauitful tingly figgy datey mid-palate on a fairly clean and light body. Light clean finish. Very likable, but not much happening.

bottled at Pothuiske in maastricht, dark amber brownish color, thick beige head with proper lacing. light belgian toufee scent and aroma. Flavour is yeast and maybe some fruits. 8% is well hidden. Great!!!
