Westvleteren Extra 8

Tastes of brown sugar, caramel, toffee, and dried fruits...a small head floats on top of the mahogony brew...and lacing continues to follow you down the glass. Solid brew...but probably shouldn’t be in the top 10. Flavor improves noticeably as the beer warms but I’ll still opt for a nice glass of Rochefort 8!!!

Rubi to brown color, nice head. Aroma: Plums, toffee, malt, chocolate, nuts. Palate: Malt, chocolate, dry fruits, raisins, spice, dry finish. Fantastic beer.

This beer poured a dark brown with a ruby tint - thick head and nice lacing. The aroma is malty and somewhat caramel with the alcohol becoming noticeable as the beer warms. The taste is malty and caramel. Cherry flavors are noticeable.

Bottle, courtesy of tytoanderso. Pours a very dark amber with some light head. Notes of malty goodness and fruit on the nose. Nice light carbonation. Long finish on this beer, which is one of its strongest attributes. Well done.

Bottle via ebay: Pours dark amber with a full, thick head. Great aroma of sweet malt. Flavor of malt and alcohol, but in a good way. Great beer. One of the best that I have ever had.

nice carbonation on this pour. pours a clear dark brown with mild white head. sweet mild raisin aroma full bodied sweet raisin with full finish. dry aftertaste. good.

Bottle 33 cl at Locus Publicus, Delft. Poured a very dark amber with a medium and fading off-white head and a sweet, malty aroma with hints of ripe fruit and brown sugar. I had this beer right after the Westvleteren 12 and compared to that the taste isn’t that rich and complex. Flavor is malty, but not that overly sweet, with hints of ripe fruits, toffee, peanuts and hops. A longlasting hoppy finish sums up for this great beer.

Smells really malty, like an olvatine and biscuit fight in a Warbutons factory. Bottle from Wyn to my brother and on to me. Very good. Great beer, thanks again to our Chopsy.
