Maredsous 8

not a bad beer. had this after dinner tonite while out front skateboarding. much different from the #10. very sweet and smooth. not too sweet though, just right.

decent hoppy brune with a lot of fruity sugary taste and finish... nice balance of alcohol and taste

Dark brown with a thick off-white head. Fruity and malty notes. Tastes chocolate, friut and malt. Full body with a sweet,balanced finish.

A fairly dark brew with a strong head. I had this on tap at The Salty Caper in Salisbury, NC and liked it so much I went to the Vintage Porter in Salisbury to buy a few bottles to bring home. This is my favorite beer to date. Very hard to describe because it has so much flavor. There are hints of several fruits, chocolate, and malty sweetness. The high alcohol content is a bit much at first but I got over that fast and just enjoy it now.

Black beer with a reddish brown tinge and a strong bubbly head. Aroma has some apple fruit and a touch of chocolate. Taste is fruity, rather malty, with dried fruit, marzipan, tropical fruit, notes of brown sugar and syrup. Well balaced finish.

I untwisted the metal cap and POP goes the cork in this huge 750 ml bottle of Dubbel. Mine isn’t the fatter bottle displayed in the accompanying picture. Mine is about the size of a wine bottle. Expiration date 11-2009. Nice, rich, dark copper-amber color with a whole lot of beige head that sticks around for a while. The carbonation stays alive for most of the session. A clean fruity sensation on my nose and not overpowering. Just about right. Bold mouth feel. The 8% alcohol level made me a bit light headed but it was worth it. A tasty, strong brew.

The first taste I found the alcohol taste too strong but after a while it disappeared. A fine beer.

Pours a deep reddish-brown with an off-white head. Aroma is malt, candy sugar, and dark fruit. Flavor is dark fruit up front with candy sugar characteristics and a slight taste of alcohol. A nice, well-balanced beer.
