Maredsous 8

330 ml bottle. Pours a rich mahogany with an intense beige head. Subtle nose with hints of fruit and a touch of malty sweetness. Dry, medium body with plum and fruit up front followed by a nice snappy finish.

xxx this was a pretty good brew, not the best of belgian strong ales, but still drinkable

330ml bottle. This is an absolutely beautiful looking beer in all respects. The dense pocketed head lasts the entire beer, and has a nice even beige colour. The beer itself is a nice golden maple syrup brown. Aroma is quite nice, with some sweeter notes including molasses, maple syrup, hints of cinnamon and plum. The taste is unfortunately lacking, with little or no depth, excessive sweetness, and a slightly acidic watery finish. Overall this is still a good beer, and well worth a try.

Red-Brown color with large light brown head. Suble fruity aroma with slight bitter taste.

Dark mahogany with a thick off-white head. Deep aroma of malt, peat, smoke, and molasses. Creamy mouthfeel. Heavy malt, caramel, some peat, and dark fruits in the taste. Long aftertaste.

Strong pleasant flavor, but still maintains a classic "beer" flavor lacking in some of the more aggressive Belgian beers.

Bottle. A dark red mahogany with a big creamy off white head. Aroma is fruity with some roasted malts and dried fruits. And a lot of barn as well. Flavour had a suprising liquorice feel to it - it was sweet with a roasted edge along with a thin dose of spices. Slightly vinious with a raisin and plum-like aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a 2 finger beigh head. Aroma of toasted malts, caramel, brown sugar, and some fig notes.Flavor was moderated sweet with dark fruits, caramel, molasses, and some spices with a nice clean finish. A very good belgian strong ale.
