Maredsous 8

Had this on tap at Chimes East in Baton Rouge, La. It’s a reasonably priced higher gravity beer (not as cheap as Andy Gator, but better tasting). Slightly sweet taste, not very carbonated and the higher alcohol content doesn’t jump out at you like it does with some. I have it every time I go to Chimes.

Nice beer, but it needs to be warm before it tastes good, and I mean ’nearly room temperature’ warm. Aroma is a nice and slightly bitter one note caramel scent. Strong taste, not terribly subtle, but good. Aftertaste isn’t the best, but it has one and it’s a step above average, though woody in the negative sense. Very malty though, in its favor.

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.

Bottle & tap. Dark brown/reddish colour, beige head. Nose of dark fruits and brown sugar, some yeast. Taste is rather sweet, caramel/brown sugar, roasted malts. Bitter finish. Too sweet for me.
