On tap in a proper glass in Dallas, TX. My first try at the Maredsous products and I enjoyed it. Slightly sweet flavor with a satisfying finish. Definitely worth ordering back in the States comapred to other Belgian beers mass-produced.

Bottle @ Saraveza... Poured a cloudy ruby with a thick, lasting, beige head. Rich creamy palate. Sweet clove and plum notes up front with a rich malt backbone. A little bit of a rust/metallic character probably from the hops used. Sweet, candy-like toffee or butterscotch in the finish.

Dark in color with a medium-sized head. Very nice woody, oak aroma, as if it were cask conditioned. Ripened fruit (plums), more wood, brown sugar flavor; very smooth and warming, although warming was the last thing I needed on the hot Chicago day I had this! Spectacular beer.

Dark amber with a huge thick tan head. Weak aroma of dark fruits and yeast. Flavor of dark fruits, and a little chocolate and caramel.

It looks so very tempting, with such a lush ecru head and a pretty reddish brown body. The aroma is a bit thin, but it's pleasant, with a hint of sweet-yeastiness. Then the flavor is really un-complex and a tad thin. There's something about it that tastes like apartame to me. The carbonation is too big in my mouth, which is why it lost a point on the palate.

Pours a pretty bland brown color with an off white head. Aroma is very malty, and some sweetness probably from the candy sugar, and also dark fruits. Flavor iwas mainly dark fruits,sweet, a bit sourness at the end with some spices thrown in.
