Kinz (2694) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - JAN 2, 2004
Beer 28 Belgium trip. From bottle at a little pub on the way to visit the Abbey. Medium reddish brown, great head. Aroma yeasty. Quite thin in the body. Flavors were muted, mostly some thin malts and yeast. Vaguely fruity. The weakest of the Maredsous line.

Storm (2685) - Amager, DENMARK - NOV 1, 2005
On tap. Dark brown colour with a lovely beige head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of dried fruit. Very sweet flavour with a roasted notes and caramel. Not the best from this brewery.

Gusler (2655) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - MAR 3, 2002
Pours a deep ruby red, average lace and a head that dissipates quickly. Malt nose, some what sweet, banana tones also noted. Start sweet, middle medium, moderate carbonation, fair hop spicy presence. Acidic, dry, and much better than the ’Blond’. Not great, but quite drinkable none the less.

BillKismet (2652) - Seattle, Washington, USA - AUG 24, 2002
Stately maroonish color with fluff head that dies down after some time. Well rounded and blended flavors of malt,(plums?), sugar, alcohol, etc.--with a bit of a cough syrup/ aftertaste and a body character somewhat reminiscent of a marsala dessert wine.

aracauna (2649) - Georgia, USA - MAY 14, 2005
Pours a medium amber brown body with a dense, creamy head. The aroma is slightly spicy yeast, old fruit, especially banana and a goodly amount of caramel. Easy-drinking double that’s pretty tasty.

GregClow (2645) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 7, 2003
Dark ruby-brown colour with small tan head. Aroma of nutty malt and alcohol. Flavours of malt, caramel and a bit of chocolate. Body is on the thin side. Bitter hit of alcohol in the finish. I expected to prefer this over the 6 & 10 since I tend to like the darker ales more, but I was a little disappointed.

330ml Bottle - Brown with a foamy head. Pepper, dried fruit, caramel and blackcurrant in the aroma. The taste is malty and sweet with hints of blackcurrant, nuts, toffee, raisins and some spicy notes.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks Shachar. Reddish-amber color. Sweet aroma with cherries, some licorice, malt and some more dark fruit noes. Sweet flavor with dark fruits (cherries are apparent in the flavor as well), some caramel, yeasty notes and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied.
