Maredsous 8

Bottle at Bishops Arms, Karlstad. Pours a brown color with a nice mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity and vinous, with clear notes of dried fruits and berries. Flavour is, on the other hand, very sweet, with lots of berries, milk chocolate, and a very light tartness (but not in a infected or a lambic way). Body is medium, with average caronation, texture is overall quite smooth. It’s a nice, drinkable Belgian beer - though maybe a bit young at the moment (and a bit sweet also to be really good).

Very smooth, slight metallic flavor along with the typical delicious Belgian characteristics we expect and love.

Watch out for this one!. I could drink the standard serving in about 20 seconds. Very tasty and dangerously sessionable. Keep yourself to one. As for the flavor, it is hopless and a very sweet, malty flavor that you would expect from its dark brown appearance. Sourness and fruit at the end for added complexity. Little change in flavor from beginning to end, cold to room temperature.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a huge beige head. Aroma is sweet, a bit of caramel, some fruit, rather malty, no hops to speak of. Flavor is sweet, lots of dark fruit (cherries?), but also quite roasty. There’s just a bit of sourness there too. Ends dry and a little bitter. Creamy mouthfeel.

Pours a dark brown with an off-white head. Nice carbonation - not the most flavorful beer but has a bit of a dry figgy taste.

Pours dark brown with an off-white head and leaving good lacing. Slightly spicy, sweet, malty aroma and well balanced.

From bottle pours dark amber with acceptable, though not plush, beige head. Aroma is teriyaki, as is front flavor. Tastes like a lot of Special ’B’ went into this one. Mineral effervesence common to dubbels is absent. Bold start falls flat, and little to no complexity with temperature change.
