Huge head. Deep orange, slightly murky, yet inviting. Aroma is sweet bread, dark fruit. Obviously sweet but reasonably balanced. Fruity up front with a hint of banana, then raisins; finish is bitter licorice, pleasant and lasting. Smooth mouthfeel and delicate taste. Low spiciness but decent depth nonetheless. 10% alcohol adds warmth without spoiling the flavours. A very drinkable, gentle, if not too subtle or complex specimen of the genre.

Dec 24, 2009 30cl bottle into a Westmalle tulip: Shimmering ruby red in colour. Yeasty, lightly vinous with a touch of honey and dark caramel - reminds me of taffy apples, perfect for Christmas Eve. Initially sweet taste with banana-like esters and lots of melanoidins, followed by a bittersweet, herbal finish. The alcohol is not very well hidden, but still acceptable. A bit shy for such a big beer.

Dec 14, 2009 It pours dark amber brown with a nice robust off-white head. It is extremely carbonated. The aroma is of golden malts, honey, wheat, I can’t smell the alcohol at all. The taste is very similar to the smell and quite nice all around: honey, dark malts, dark fruits, and has a slight alcohol sting at the end.

Dec 14, 2009 Amber color , with beige fragrant head. Attractive aroma, pleasant, full of malt, sugary and of fruit (plums and orange). Full body. In mouth it is energetic, splendidly winding, it passes from the initial sweet, to a long end, dry and medium bitterish. It hides well the tall alcoholic gradation. Marvelous.

Dec 13, 2009 330mL bottle. Pours a clear amber-gold colour with a head that quickly diminishes. More or less a bigger version of the Tripel, the extra alcohol is very noticeable on the nose, with malty aromas (particularly toast and caramel) dominating the yeast, and very little hops. Fruity, spicy, good balance of flavours. Smooth on the palate with medium to high carbonation.

Dec 11, 2009 Koningshoeven bottle. Pours a murky rusty brown color, with off white head. Fragrant sweet malt aroma; notes of banana. Taste is big, malty and sweet. Banana and honey are the most dominant flavors. Also notes of caramel, brown sugar, plum and dark chocolate. Astingent bitterness at the end. Alcohol well hidden. This is a good quad but seems a little sharp and cloying compared to other quads. May be better with some age.
