Commercial Description:
The strongest of the special beers. Its flavor is full, mild and pleasantly bitter. Quadrupel is presently available in the autumn, is bottled by the year and is perfect company for those long winter evenings.

Bottle. Dark amber color which hazes if you pour the abundant sediment. Fairly small head, but it sticks to the glass. Lovely aroma of figs. Sweetish and extremely potent with lovely, fruity ale-esters. Notes of chocolate, nuts, figs, dates, caramel - all the goodies. Lovely beer.

August orange amber with an amazingly perfect 1" thick creme fraiche browned head that clings the sides of the glass. Unique, piquant esteriness with some medicinal/cleaning fluid notes mixed in to complicated the buzz.

750 ml bottle. This beer pours a dark amber, with a small head. It has a strange smell, hard to distinguish. The first time I had it, thought it tasted like good sewer water. Upon second try, it had an odd first sip, but it mellowed upon warming. It has some basic similarities to really great beers, and is so close to being one, but there is a flavor that is either there, or missing that makes this beer just miss the mark for me.

750ml bottle labeled as Koningshoeven. Pours amber/mahogany with slightly laced white head. Aroma of apples and yeast, can’t quite define the taste. Decent body. And solid beer but as complex as other belgians.

Good but not great for the style. Alcohol a bit more prominent than I generally like. The depth and complexity of flavor was decent, but not up to the level of a st bernardus 12 or rochefort 10.

33cl bottle from Belgianshop. Pours a dark golden/light brown color with a medium head that settles down fast. The taste is bitter, fruity and malty. The alcohol is also very prominent. It has a medium aftertaste.

Decent quadrupel. Vinous, fruity with alcohol prominent in the taste. Not the best, but overall a good tasting beer.
