Mar 14, 2009 22 oz bottle. Interested in this after having quad’s before. Pours a dark copper color with a half finger high white head that disappates quickly. Smells of molasses, lots of caramel malt, possibly some dried fruit flavored molasses and a hint of alcohol with perhaps a slight vanilla aftertaste. Very complex aroma. Tastes of sugary malt, some dried fruit (possibly raisins), with the small vanilla aftertaste. Goes down pretty smoothly, with a nice full-bodied feel and a hint of alcohol. Overall a very complex beer that is quite good.

Mar 12, 2009 Bouteille de 600 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler et Agaguk. Bière de couleur caramel brumeux avec un moyen collet moyennement collant. Odeur de sucre, alcool, raisins, sel et un petit coté floral. Gout de sucre assez incroyable, miel, caramel, alcool et un peu les épices.

Mar 12, 2009 Updated: Mar 13, 2009Dégusté avec Agaguk et Pyrozoid. Apparence orange nuageux avec une belle mousse blanc mat. Aromes de gateau au fruits, raisins secs, tarte au sucre, y’as qqchose qui m’aggace honnetement mais je ne peut mettre la main dessus. BEAUCOUP trop sucré... le genre de biere qui te tombe sur le coeur apres un boute... En dessous de cette montagne de sucre elle cache tout de meme un coté asser complexe. J’ai vraiment l’impression que cette biere aurais du etre un 12-13% mais que leur choix de levure laisse a désiré. Palait crémeux et vélouté. Caline... quoi dire au gout... J’ai vraiment l’impression qu’elle manque sois de maturation ou que leur choix d’ingrédients non pas favorisé leur levures... Je détecte tout de meme un peu de prunes, caramel et sucre brun.

does not count  Mar 6, 2009 Updated: Mar 9, 2009A very nice quad but is not quite on the level of the St. Bernardus’ and Rochefort’s of the world. Aroma reminds me of raisins and caramel, heavy on the raisin. Appearance is cloudy, orange, with a very minimal head. Flavor is sweet, raisiny, malty, definitely has a huge alcohol "kick" and has a bitter aftertaste that doesn’t hit you till later. It’s a full bodied beer that is light on carbonation. Overall it is a good effort but didn’t knock my socks off like some of the top Trappist breweries. Hope you like raisins, a lot.

Mar 6, 2009 Draught at Oliver Twist. Fluffy off white foam tha goes away fast. The aroma remindes me of caramellized orange peel. The caramell is also dominating the taste, but there is also almond paste. The body is big but the bitterness is low almost not present.

Mar 4, 2009 VERY sweet. Taste makes your taste buds tingle from the first drink. Not bad but is a little strong.

Mar 3, 2009 Location:Bottle, purchased at Gilly’s
Aroma: Fruity, spiciness, raisin
Appearance: Orange, cloudy, full head
Flavor: Really nice complexity comes through as you drink it.
Palate: Full body, little creamy
Overall Impression:
Enjoyable beer with some interesting complexity. Quads are definately one of my favorite styles of beer. This one has some fruity flavors, strong hint of raisins, hides the alcohol really well, you can hardly taste the 10%. Overall pretty enjoyable.
