Day 18, July 31 - Maredsous 8 Brune

The Offering: Maredsous 8 Brune, Dubbel, Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat NV, Belgium

ABV: 8%

This is a Belgian Trappist style dubbel by the makers of Duvel (Duvel Moortgat Brewery). This is much darker than the other Belgians I've had. It has the same bitter, yeasty, malty sweet flavor, but the Maredsous has darker notes of coffee, chocolate and burnt toast. This is a tasty Belgian dubbel especially on tap, but I've liked some of the other Belgians better.

Points: 89

Thanks to Kevin Barnett
