750ml bottle. Drank in a trappist glass. Dark amber poor with a nice thin frothy beige head. Aromas of molasses, yeast, caramel, roasted malts and a hint of vanilla and bananas. Definite alcohol presence in mouth, nice long lasting bitterness. Very hoppy beer. Nice dry, thick full bodied and lightly sweetened mouthfeel.

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.

I like this one better than the 10, but I agree with most that it is sweet and although I like that in a brunn, this one is a little too sweet. Never-the-less, it’s a pretty good beer.

Served in a beautiful Maredsous logo stemware at a launch party at the Bavarian Lodge in Lisle, IL. Poured a dark brown with ruby tones followed by a thick, foamy, off white/light tan head, and thick, clingy lacing. The aroma was of smooth malt, dark fruit, tartness and vinous notes. These and a little caramel, gave the flavor a consistent semi-sweetness. Medium to full bodied, with good carbonation and mellow dryness into the finish.
