| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 17, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy brown with a small off white head. Very fruity aroma, a lot of malts, berries, and a touch of caramel. Big sugar and sweetness to this beer. Very malty with some cinnamon and dark fruits. Maybe a little too fruity and too light bodied. i’d like to see some more body, this feels more like a dubbel than a quad to me. Still decent though nathan30533 (139), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Mar 17, 2009 Very sweet smell and taste. Smooth, good color and great overall. Wonderful introductory Quad. Rustyham (556), miami, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 16, 2009 Starting off rather lame, this guy soon develops quite a bit of character. Rather light in color for a quadruple, it has a very thick mouth feel that seems to rely on apricots and peaches more so than raisins and plums like other quadruples. It warms your through very well, it even has some noticeable hop characteristics. soccer290 (135), Highland Park, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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. Pyrozoid (352), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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. french tickler (642), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | 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.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 12, 2009 600ml Bottle sahred with pyrozoid and French Tickler. Light brown orange appearance with a medium off white head. Aroma: grape fruit, vanilla cake, caramel and toffee. Flavor: light grape fruit taste, alcohol, sweet taste and white pepper. Palate: medium to full body, average carbonation, thick, oily silky with an alcohol chalky finish. fastcarjoe (8), Morton Grove, Illinois, USA does not count | 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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.
