Maredsous Brunewww.duvel.be
Maredsous in named for a Fransiscan Abbey in Belgium, the line has been brewed by Belgian brewer Duvel Moortgat since 1963 and includes Blonde (a blond ale), Brune (a dubbel) and Tripple (a trippel). This brew, Brune is a strong 8% ABV.
It has a brown, slightly cloudy colour with a big white foamy head with good retention and provides nice lacing.
It smells of grape, yeast, malt and both floral and bitter notes of the hops can be just discerned.
The start is very yeasty and malty, with the bitterness of the hops peeking in, the grape and floral notes come in on the finish and linger.
This is a nice Abbey style dubbel with a little warming of the alcohol after the finish. It isn't so apparent in the taste. It's a nice beer to try, especially on a cold winter night sitting by the fire after dinner.
