Apr 12, 2007 Holy Crap this is great. Pours dark murky brown with an amber tint with a rich tan head that has moderate retention. The aroma has a good amount of caramel malt that is quite doughy and rich with some Belgium-style earthy yeastiness along with some toffee. Medium / full body that has richness and a fair amount of frothy soft carbonation. The flavor starts with bready toffee, thick earthiness, brown sugar and figs. The finish gets a bit sharper in comparison to the initial taste with some sharp spice. This continues to change and evolve throughout the bottle. Thumbs vigorously up for this fantastic example of a Belgium quad. This could be my favorite of the style. Truly amazing.

Apr 3, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Boboski: Poured a deep brown color ale with a huge foamy head with perfect retention. Aroma of cookie dough malt is just about perfect. Taste is also dominated by cookie dough malt with some nice sweet malt and a mild yeasty finish. Alcohol was well concealed with a nice full body. I thought this was somewhat reminiscent of Rochefort 10 but maybe a tad more light and not as complex but still very rewarding.

Mar 6, 2007 Medium amber pour. Very large head, spilled out over the rim of my glass. Appears to be highly carbonated, with a cool sideways swirling effect in the glass, with some floaties. I haven’t been drinking too many Belgians lately (what the hell is my problem?). This stuff is a reminder of why I love them. Lots of yeast, fruity malts with a sweet, rich full body. Alcohol is well concealed. Sorry I can’t describe it any better, I just don’t feel like it. I just want to sit down and enjoy this brew. Terrific stuff.
