Bottle. Very fruity aroma, moderately sweet. Deep reddish brown body, small light brown head. Flavor has loads of ripe fruit and pleasant sweetness (not cloying). The fruitiness lingers for a very long time into the finish. Some alcohol warmth also present.

Dec 10, 2009 Flaske: Brun uklar øl med et fint skumhoved. Duft af gær og sukker. En let syrlighed fra gæren gør at sødmen ikke tager overhånd. I det hele taget er dette et solidt bryg men ikke fantastisk. Meget let drikkeligt i forhold til procenterne, men ikke så nuanceret som en del andre af denne type.

Full-bodied with notes of caramel, nuts, sweet milky chocolate, dades, figs and sweet licorice. Long malty finish of plums and figs with touches of milky chocolate, earth and mild almondy yeast.

Dec 6, 2009 This is a surprisingly sweet beer. Lots of dried fruit, dates, especially. Banana chips. The alcohol is very well hidden, but the sweetness would probably keep you from drinking too much of this beer.

Dec 5, 2009 Pours brown, glad to see a new Dieu du Ciel brew in Chicago. Very sweet and boozy, quite potent. Aroma of caramel and Belgian yeast. Good flavor, enjoyable, but the 10.5% wasn’t as hidden as I would have liked.

Dec 3, 2009 My local store just got these in. Not a big fan of the style, but not bad. These all seem way to syrupy for my except the Bernardus version.

Dec 3, 2009 Rather light brown with a tight off-white head. Aroma is fat malty with mainly caramell but has a nice layer of fruity esters on top, rather "bright" and inviting, multi-dimensional and fun. Flavour is less exiting with a too slimey malt profile, too much caramell for the style and the esters doesnt make it a easy enough drink. Quite good but should almost be considered a "belgian barleywine" rather than a quad/abt. Body is medium to full and quite sticky.
