On tap, from old notes. Deep brown with dense rocky off white foam. Aromas of rich malts and grapeskins. Flavor is big on the malt with just a touch of tartness in the finish.

pours deep amber with a red tone. Big off white head. Aroma of light toasted malt, bit of spice, earthy, touch of candi sugar. Taste is straightforward. Some alchohol, sweet malt, dry with a bit of carbonation. Pretty one dimensional.

Dark pour with spicy nose. The alcohol is present adds a warmness. A little roasty and sweet.

A creamy nose with dates, chocolate and colves. Pours a deep brown with some carbonation. Taste in strong but alcohol is well restrained. A very earnest beer albeit not terribly complex.

Tried on tap. An average belgian strong ale. Somewhat lacking in richness and complexity. Luckily, there are many other great BS ales to enjoy.

Bottle. My favorite Belgian dubbel-style beer so far. Rich, roasty, but the alcohol strength is very well masked. A lot of dubbels are much too boozy in character for my tastes. Not the Maredsous 8. Enjoyable with rich foods, or as an appertif/digestif.

falls flat in terms of taste and overall presence of flavor. smells not too bad. The mouth feel a bit oily and gritty. after taste seems a bit flat and weak.
