Found this one bottled in Belvidere, Illinois. Dark brown pour with a light tan head, very alcoholic throughout, nose of peanuts and coffee, finished clean but medicinal. Dissapointing.

Dark brown color with nice Brussels lacing. Candy sugar, cherries and chocolate nose. med-light mouth, surprisingly alcoholic. Chocolate, cherries, brandy, earthy notes in mouth. Dry alcoholic finish.

Deep red color with a light tan head. Has a strong hard candy flavor, probably from Belgian candy sugar. Highly carbonated, this brew seems to dance on your tongue.

Nut brown. Aroma and taste of sweet malts. A bit woody/earthy.. Some dark fruits appears - plums/prunes. Medium filling body. Great lasting pleasant finish. Next best maredsous after nr. 10.

Dark red color, almost brown with a lacing, pale tan head. Aroma has some apple fruit and a touch of chocolate. Pretty boring. Flavor is bracing in its overall acidity. I could see successfully pairing this with some fantastic atrisan cheeses and the acidity wiping the fat away. The apple fruit is there with an encompassing earthiness and some dried, dark fruit in the aftertaste that intensifies as it warms. That prune-like flavor is very interesting. This is also quite hoppy, alot hoppier than I would assume.
