Apr 19, 2009 330ml bottle. Pours a ruby to brown colour with a fluffy tan head that quickly settles. Audible crackle as the head settles. Mild carbonation with an aroma of sweet spices and hops. The favour dances on the tongue and is almost liquer like. Strong aniseed like taste. You can feel the alcohol and it is almost tongue numbing. One to sip and savour.

Apr 18, 2009 It poured a hazy amber liquid with a huge foam (had to be fast to pour after opening). It had a strong smell with hints of dried fruit, bread, red wine, spices and alcohol. As with the tripel this one also tickled but this time on the top of my mouth. I wonder what the cause is of that sensation; it’s almost like eating kiwi. The taste was similar to the smell with lots of spices, dried fruit, bread and allot of alcohol. I found it to be a bit to fizzy for my taste though, even after letting it rest for a while, but still a good beer with a very round and complex taste.

Apr 16, 2009 Updated: Jul 22, 2009Bottle. Pours a semi-translucent brown with a small tan head. Aroma of raisins, molasses, and sugary sweet malt. Flavor of raisins, sweet dark fruits, apple juice, sweet malt, and bready malt. Very sweet A bit hard to drink and not even close to the complexity of the other Belgian quads.

Rerate 07/22/09: Wow, this is a sweet, sticky mess. It is bad. An awful quad, basically undrinkable. A 3.1 is generous so I’m downgrading this.

Apr 8, 2009 Pours a copper/brown color, much lighter then I expected. It has banana, plums, raisin, cinnamin, caramel, and soem spice. Mouthfeel is rather fizzy. It’s okay.

Apr 5, 2009 Bottle at home (bought a crate of it in Belgium last Christmas). This has long been one of my favourite beers from the low countries. Christmasey flavours of cinnamon, bananas, caramel and a wondeful fruity richness. The alcohol is not really noticeable despite weighing in at 10%. A perfect beer in every respect and it is Dutch not Belgian!

Apr 3, 2009 Intense dark spices, caramel, raisins, fruit aroma. Poured dark brown with a medium sized off white head. Taste is slightly bitter at the end, fronted by sweetness. Well balanced as expected. Could drink a lot of this, even at 10%.

Mar 31, 2009 11.2 oz bottle poured into a Yeti snifter. This is lighter in color than the dubbel, more red than brown. It smells like sweet fruits and sugar. The taste is also heavy syrupy, sugary, fruit, good but heavy. This is quite flavorful and delicious but a definite sipper.
