Lovely beer. Full, little bit fruity taste. Gives a warm feeling in your throat. Not to bitter, very good.

Poured into snifter from bottle. Light cognac colored pour with very little head. Aroma is lovely: a very refined banana scent that isn’t artificial but mellow. Flavor is a lighter version of the aroma and boozier. Smooth but not slick over the palate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Decent Quad. Pours amber with white head. Lots of fruity notes in this one, even some banana and mango. Aroma is must and fruit. Finishes clean.
