| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 17, 2008 Updated: Oct 18, 200833 cl. bottle. The stateside importer Twelvepercent Imports, LLC, is handling a beer with the name "’t Gaverhopke Extra." They designate it as a quad, so I’m guessing this is the same beer. Poured a murky orangey brown with a frothy beige head leaving spotty lacing. Yeasty streudel aroma with vinous and sour berries, green apple, dark honey, and toasted nuts. Sweet toffee flavor cut through by a tart berry and plummy fruit note. Also suggestive of underripe oranges. Toasty alcohol, peppery spice, and a leathery and woody dryness marks the finish. Delicate carbonation. Pretty nice overall balance between the tartness, fruitiness, spiciness and toffee sweetness. NoiZe (1382), Mooi Zeist, Netherlands

Complex tart fruity aroma with caramel. Sour notes. Milky chocolate, sour fruit, semi-dry finish. Rather smooth, full-bodied. This is something different. A beer that runs in all directions. Maybe not the most elegant, but definitely exciting. bierkoning (6103), La Tropica, Netherlands

Sugary sweet, vinous flavor with pineapple and plums. The sugar hides the alcohol, but also the complexity that should be there. Magicdave6 (5559), London, Greater London, England

Fairly heavy yeasty stuff with some good fruity notes. Very burnt malty notes with slight spicy hints. Well balanced and very well hidden alcohol considering the high abv. Decent beer.
