| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 3, 2007 Pours dark, slightly reddish brown with a pretty loose, quickly dissipating head, though lacing remains for a while. Nose has some alcohol in it and a lot of fruits. Really sweet tasting beer. Brown sugar, some alcohol, cherries noticeable if you look for them. Not too bad, but not great.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 3, 2007 On tap at the Schooner’s Brewery/Restaurant in Antioch. It pours dark brown with tan head and nice lacing. It has a big ole malty aroma with caramel malts, mild roasted malts and prune and date fruitiness. There is an aggressive flavor from caramel sweetness mixed with fruity notes of dates and prunes covered with molasses. Yummy. holdenn (1437), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Pretty decent. mmmbeer (743), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 30, 2007 From 11.2 oz bottle- poured transparent dark ruby brown, aroma of caramel and malt. Very nice one finger lacing head. Hits the mouth with a medium full body, coffee/toffee taste apparent, roasted malt, a minute bit of sugar on the finish. Good beer. beerbill (1938), Laurel, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 28, 2007 Sampled on tap at GWBF 2007. This was probably my favorite beer that I sampled at Brewtopia. Pours a slightly hazy reddish brown with a long-lasting off-white head. Lots of candi sugar and caramel in the aroma. Candi sugar and caramel in the flavor as well. My wife commented that it reminded her of cotton candy. Lingering caramel flavor at the finish. Alcohol was fairly well hidden with a warming presence noted near the finish. Very nice. bhensonb (4237), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 26, 2007 Aroma of roasted caramel/toffee with fruit notes. Brilliant red amber color with a white head that quickly flattened. Medium bodied with fizzy/creamy carbonation. The flavor is roasted, toffee malt with some stone fruits, maybe dates, and some spice. The finish is dry, and some bitterness is there for balance. Rather light for the style, but very tasty indeed.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 25, 2007 Although I could tell that the Maredsous was a well-constructed beer I did not think it was mind-blowing and was a little disappointed.
