Nov 2, 2007 I think this beer is underrated. 750 ml bottle. Poured a clear ruby color with a one inch off white, slightly brown head. One of the sweetest aromas I’ve ever had in a trappist. Smells like preserved fruit or prunes. Taste is sweet and subtle. The sweetness is Madeira, prune juice, and cork. A wonderful beer.

Nov 1, 2007 Bottle. The pour is a medium auburn with a lasting, velvety light-tan head. The aroma is intense in apples with grapes, plums, and caramel. As it hits the tongue, green apple bursts. Plum and darker fruits follow. Alcohol is slightly apparent in the flavour. The finish is lightly bitter and just slightly dry but also sweet. This is lighter and milder than I expected in a Quadrupel. The intensity in apple flavours make this quite interesting, though.

Oct 26, 2007 Bottle approximately 2 years old. Pours a dark caramel brown, with a huge, billowy, well-retained, cloud-like light tan head. The aroma consists of fresh fruits, dark berries, plums, apples, and sweet Belgian candy sugar. Sweet smelling and inviting. The flavor actually had a bigger dose of alcohol than I expected. Noticeable from start to finish, with a good amount of heat on the way down. The fruits were all there in th flavor. Big berry and plum characters, backed by the Belgian yeastiness in the mouthfeel. Nice carbonation. Noting outside of your typical quad, but this is drinking really nice right now.

Oct 25, 2007 Slightly vinous with rich caramel flavors. Very sweet, but with a nice, drier finish.

Oct 25, 2007 Been Sitting on this since my birthday. 12 oz bottle dated expiration 8/08. Birthday gift from my pal and fellow beer geek bikesandbeer, thanks Kevin, also painstackingly brought over from Europe, even though it is now more available in Cali, the story of the bottle remains important at least it does to me. That said, Pours cloudy copper with a half finger tan head. The nose is really nicely sweet, liquory with a nice kick of yeast. Taste is sweet, a bit syrupy and punchy. Overall a nice quad with a lot more fruit than I recall from the style though I have not had a quad in some time.

The aroma is light in malt and hops but strong in yeast. This is no indication of what your about to taste. Appearance is a beautiful red/amber with a moderate short lasting, good lacing orange head. Flavor? Holy Shnikes! This is the epitome of a barley wine. Sweat, syrupy with a strong alcohol finish. You may need a pilsner or pale ale to chase this. Still, I like its spirt and I could dance to it.....I give it 80 percent.

Oct 19, 2007 330ml bottle (Kaisla, Helsinki)
Sunset orange, thin head. Simple grainy and winey aroma. A good sipping beer - winey, not hugely malty, not hugely hoppy, fairly well-balanced. Didn’t give us much more than the dubbel, unfortunately.
