May 23, 2008 This clear reddish-orange beer ooured with a thin beige head and a candy sugar aroma. The candy is also a prominent part of the flavor, along with a lot of spice and carbonation. The finish is actually quite bitter in contrast to the initial flavor. This is a very complex brew, but the flavor elements don’t blend well enough to bring this beer up to the level of the good Belgian quadrupels.

May 21, 2008 Bottle Pours an amber ruby color with a thin diminshed head. Aged 2 years. Still a strong nose of etoh and caramel malt. There are good fruit flavors to be tasted here as well and decent spicyness. I shared this bottle and the sample i got i really enjoyed.

May 18, 2008 Updated: Jun 28, 2008(USA) Brew courtesy of fellow Knight AFI96. Nice amber color with no head to speak of. The aroma is of sweet brown sugar, dry fruit , and possibly caramel. The taste is well balanced with nice spice / sugar mouthfeel Another good beer from Avery. :)

May 18, 2008 Bottle 1 pint. Bought Bjergtrolden Roskilde. Colour unclear, unfiltered light brown with small beige head. Aroma very fruity - plums, raisins, abricots. Taste sweet and spicy. The promised fruits from the aroma are mixed with an interesting wood flavour. This would be an almost perfect Easter brew - wood, wine and bread - all in one!

May 17, 2008 bottle. pours a flat copper color with very little head, though what is there sticks around for the entire glass. smells mainly of spicy yeast with some hints of raisin and dried fruit. taste is very doughy, some candi sugar also. mid-glass flavors of dark fruit and nuts emerge. palate is light and spritzy with some alcohol warmth. drinkable but as far as quads go it is very nondescript.

May 12, 2008 Bottle (bomber) provided by gnoff. Cloudy amber with a short off-white head. Fruity, peppery, spicy with some burnt sugar and caramel notes. Medium bodied and smooth. Dry finish. Very teasty but not very Belgian.

May 11, 2008 Bottle. Amber-red. Hazy. Little head. Sweet aroma: honey, brown sugar, pineapple, toasted coconut like a macaroon. Really sweet body. Sweet buns, caramel, more macaroon. Bread pudding. Caramel. Dessert. Not bad; not my thing.
