Oct 1, 2007 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.

Sep 30, 2007 Tried on tap.
An average belgian strong ale. Somewhat lacking in richness and complexity. Luckily, there are many other great BS ales to enjoy.

Sep 29, 2007 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.

Sep 27, 2007 The aroma is sweet with roasted malt, chocolate, and dark fruit. The appearance is dark with a decent head. The flavor is like the aroma with a tangy finish. The palate is typical for the style. Overall a nice beer but nothing world class.

Sep 26, 2007 Bottled. Extremely common, thought I’d finally give this one a try. Deep brown appearance with amber edges, mostly transparent. Excellent rocky cream foam that develops with aroma of Belgian yeast, plum, light floral hops and lots of brown sugar. Flavor comprised mostly of smoky malt and candy sugar, with some banana backing it up; but fades very quickly. Lots of carbonation.

Sep 24, 2007 Pours a brown color with an off-white head. Aroma is of sweet malts, caramel, dark fruits, and a little woodiness. Flavor is very malty with caramel and dark fruits dominating. Has a slight taste of some candied sugar with only a very slight hint of alcohol on the finish. I really wasn’t that impressed with this brew.
