Jan 2, 2006 66 cl bottle. Amber colour with a weak head. Sweet aroma of caramel, toffee and hops. Great taste of caramel, toffee, chocolate, alcohol and some sweetness. Reminds me of a English barley wine.

Jun 25, 2004 bottle at brewtopia - I was expecting great things from this beer, but was a bit disappointed - quite barleywineish, in fact, I don’t detect a lot of belgian characteristics at all - lots of sugar ( a bit cloying actually) - tries hard at being balanced, but doesn’t quite make it - tasty to a point.

Feb 26, 2007 This is good stuff, and as good as any Belgian Quad that I have had. The aroma first hits you with candy sugar then a complex mixture of yeast, bread, dark fruit, and spice. The flavor is exactly like the aroma but with more alcohol than detectable from the aroma. The palate is almost sticky from the sugar. I think I would have named it the pope, bishop, or priest based on the style but that’s just me. This is highly recommended!

Apr 1, 2003 What a beautiful site is this transpicuous mahogany colored elixir of life setting in my glass, the modest and creamy head all cutesy and light tan in color, with a silky coating of lace, to end the visual portion of the sampling. Fusel alcohol, sweet caramel, malt, fresh and clean, a superb nose with the start thickly malt, sweet, the top full and rich in its feel to the palate. Finish has a delightful hop presence, the carbonation delicate and the aftertaste quite dry. The high ABV makes itself known as a nice “Belly Warming Feel”, and a touch of bitterness in the aftertaste, hearty and robust and a must try for the “Bad Boys and Girls” in the audience.

Apr 16, 2008 (Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 12 April 2008) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with dried fruit, caramel and floral notes of roses. Malty taste with notes of dried fruit, strawberries and red-currant. Full body, really sweet. Nicely balanced and tasty, maybe slightly too sweet, but still a nice beer.

Nov 19, 2004 Dark orange beer with a disappearing head. Sweet and sticky aroma of raisins, fruit, citrus and tones of alcohol. Malt, bread and raisin flavor. Sharp and sparkling and quite alcoholic. All right, but would probably gain some after a while of storage!

Jul 13, 2006 Hazy caramel color with a thin light brown head. Aroma of caramel and lots of fruit. Sweet fruit with some hints of spice. Alcohol is fairly well hidden.

Apr 3, 2006 Positively one of the best aromas I’ve ever smelled. It was apple pie. Pure apple pie. Apples, cinnamon, and sweet dough; so delicious. The taste was similar though was spicier and exhibited a strong alcohol kick that kind of bogged it down. But I’ll be god danmed if it didn’t smell absolutely amazing. Food pairing: apple pie.
