| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 3, 2007 This beer pors almost deep orange. It shows notes of fruits, citrus and sugars. The mouthfeel really pushes the balance of the beer as even with the high alcohol content you do not seem to get a great deal of heat. Beerdedone (1888), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of sweet malt, caramel yeast and spices. Flavor was very similar to the aroma but with a slightly sweet tone.Finish could be longer but overall a decent quadrupel.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 11, 2007 Not a favorite style but one of the better versions of the style I’ve tried. Not excessively acidic or vinous. Nicely blended and reasonably dry finish. Cherries, currants, and molasses. Hank1980 (775), Athens, Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 24, 2009 Botle at Trappeze. Poured an amber orangish color. Aroma of dark and sweet fruit, candy sugar, spice. Taste is similar with lots of fruit, sweet malt, candy sugar, mild spice, kind of like a festive ale. Mouth is coating, syrupy. Finish is warming and sweet. Overall, a decent fruity and spicey ale. Grovlam (3825), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 24, 2007 Bottle. Yet another Quardrupel, but this time somewhat disappointing. Small off-white fizzy head that mostly diminished. Spar lacing. Light particles in flow and color were amber. Aroma was recognizable as a Quardrupel with notes of dry fruit, hint of bread, toffee, liquorish and light vinous. Medium to full bodied with a light alcoholic texture. Flavor was moderated sweet malt with hint of hops bitterness. Finish was short and sweet. Not as powerful as I had hoped, think it needs a bit more punch in the aroma and over the palate, but still a very drinkable Quardrupel. Heathen (810), Riverside, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 6, 2007 THOUGHTS: At first smelled more like a tripel and tasted like a dubbel. But as it warmed it took on its own flavors and aromas. Sweet caramel flavor with just the right amount of hop bitterness. Balance is not bad but goes from overly sweet to an odd bitter quickly with nothing in berewwn. Needs better transition, but overall a really good beer. There was a little whiskey flavor too, later.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a medium to dark orangey amber with a small, white head that mostly diminished. The aroma was heavy caramel malt and light chocolate malt and some medium-colored fruit. The initial flavor was moderately sweed and lightly acidic, while the finish was heavily sweet and lightly acidic and bitter with an average duration. The body was medium to full and slightly syrupy (sticky on the lips) and dry in the back with fizzy carbonation and a very light metallic and lightly alcoholic finish. graham515 (434), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 8, 2009 Pours a deep copper into the glass with a slightly off white head. Aroma is belgian trappist yeast all the way. A bit of bubble gum in the flavor along with a rich sweet malt. Some spiciness in the finish. Nice effort from Avery.
