Mar 6, 2009 750ml bottle $7.98. Nice red-brown, not quite transparent or opaque. The head died a swift death so there is not much to comment on there. The aroma was like a fresh cut apple, cinnamon, and pepper, nice. The flavor was a little hot with more cinnamon, alcohol and fruity flavors. This was incredibly easy to drink despite the high ABV and it was quite an enjoyable beer.

Feb 13, 2009 750ml bottle poured into a Trappist glass. BSGQ pours mousy brown with a large head of very tiny bubbles that audibly pop into oblivion. The beer is very murky. The aroma is heavy in wild yeasts. Belgian sugar, alcohol and pear round out the nose. The body is surprisingly thick and highly carbonated. The taste is sweet and aggressively alcoholic. The finish is dusty and bitter like flower petals.

Feb 13, 2009 Favorite beer ever. Patterned after Westvleteren (and others) it has an aggressive carbonation to help the ABV seem a bit more tame. Belgian sugars help with a spice/plum/malt/raisin deliciousness that simply can’ be beat. You’re supposed to share this bottle with friends, but once the devil looks in my eyes, I end up drinking the whole thing. It’s a gorgeous beer. Serve it in a wide-mouthed trappist glass and you’ll be happy until, in the sixth glass...

Feb 12, 2009 Bottle, courtesy sebletitje. Pours copper reddish color, with a huge vanilla-colored fluffy head and creamy lacing. Nose of dark fruit, some fusel esters, caramel, some chocolate. Smooth, sharp fruits in the mouth, with vanilla, caramel and some Belgian dry yeastiness. Spicy. Medium-bodied, tasty, lacks overall complexity I’ve come to expect from quads, but it’s still yummers.
