Feb 7, 2008 Draft @ BSP. Pours an opaque orange-brown with solid but minor white head. Nose is very metallicy, with strong yeast character (musty, bready) and a suggestion of treacled malts. On the palate, much the same, more drying yeast flavors along with darker fruits, leafy hops, and a lingering dry finish. I must say I was underwhelmed by this beer. But I’ll probably give it another shot from a bottle.

Feb 6, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber color into the trappist glass with a small head. The lacing clung to the sides. Scents of figs, raisins, malt and brown sugar dominate. A nice coating mouthfeel with flavors of dried fruit, yeast, malt and molasses. Very smooth and dry finish. A very nice quad.

Feb 4, 2008 Had high hopes for this, its a sweet looking bottle. Looked alot lighter than expected, a muddy brown. Too sweet and carbonated for me. Might have a place with some good food but for normal drinking purposes there is a little too much going on.

Feb 1, 2008 75cl bottle. Pours amber/orange with a beige head. Smells of caramel and bread and dough. Taste is mildly sweet and slightly carbonated. Not a bad brew, but there are definately better quads that are widely availbable.

Jan 30, 2008 Maybe I will have it again, because I really did not see the appeal. An underwhelming taste - mildly yeasty... mild everything really. A forgettable drink with no finish and no lasting notes.

Jan 26, 2008 Pours a burnt orange with a thin beige head. Fruity, estery, and wine like. Apples, pears, a light acidity round out the aroma. Flavor of pears, plums, apricots, other dried fruits. A touch of metal. Clove, spice, banana. Yeast. Some dark malts. Extremely complex. Smooth, but hot. Very wine like.
