Maredsous 8

Bottle. A cloudy dark amber beer with a huge and persistent beige head. Nioce aroma of toasted malts with note sof caramel, nuts. dark fruits and toffee. Light alcohol too. The flavour is quite sweet with light acidity and maybe some licorice and chocolate notes. Medium body, lively carbonation, quite long finish with light to medium bitterness, lightly alcoholic. Surprisingly not with a strong body, and overall not too complex. However fully drinkable.

On tap at stone bistro. Red/brown pour, very thin off-white head. Plum, raisin, dried fruits, caramel, hints of chocolate, cinnamin, and clove. Some of the alchohol does come through. Decent strong belgian ale.

dark copper with dark beige head. aromas of chocolate, caramel and spice. quite refreshing mouthfeel and flavors of prunes, burnt sugars, spice and even a bit of hoppiness.

Almost pitch black in colour, solid head. Full-bodied with nice roasted notes and little sourness for an ale, reminding me a bit of good old Czech dark beers. Splendid.

Dark brown with ruby red highlights, a pillowy beige head, solid retention and excellent lacing. A beautiful beer in a trappist goblet. Dark aromas, molasses, currant, plum, a hint of licorice. Malts and spicy clove dominate, with the aforementioned molasses and plums, plus medicinal herbs and banana peel. Medium body with a slightly creamy mouthfeel, lively carbonation and a somewhat sour aftertaste.

bottle - Pours dark brown with a big, off white head. The aroma is mainly caramel malt. Flavors include yeasty caramel malt and a little dark fruit in this medium bodied brew. Pretty good.

Aroma is of sugary caramel. Flavor is eh, nothing special. Was worth a shot

Bottle. Pours a somewhat translucent brown with thick light tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, raisins. Flavor of booze, raisins, sweet malt. Ick. Very bland and too sweet. A disappointment. 6/4/5/3/12 (3.0/5)
