Maredsous Brune

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany brown with a rich, garnet undertone. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass walls with fine Schaumkleiden. Clarity shows good brilliance beneath the color, with gentle carbonation rising steadily.

◌ Aroma

Caramel dominates the opening, warm and malt-forward with pronounced roasted character. Mocha and coffee notes emerge underneath, layered with subtle dried fruit esters and a gentle spice. The alcohol presence is evident but not aggressive, adding depth to the bouquet.

◐ Geschmack

Caramel sweetness anchors the entry, balanced immediately by roasted bitterness and nutty character that builds through the mid-palate. Coffee and mocha develop fully, with a dry, grainy finish that prevents heaviness despite the 8% ABV. The alcohol remains warm and integrated, supporting rather than dominating.

◑ Abgang

Lingering dry finish with roasted malt and a subtle spice note persisting. The warmth of alcohol fades gracefully, leaving a clean, slightly bitter aftertaste that invites another sip.
