75cl bottle from Party Pak Liquors (Indianapolis, IN). Pours a hazy copper color with a one finger white head. Some lacing as the head settles. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of caramel, honey, vinegar, ripe fruit. Flavor is also sweet and malty with stronger notes of honey, caramel, toffee, some spice. Generally medium body with a sweet finish. Looks like a Belgian tripel but tastes much better than either the Urthel tripel or other outstanding Belgian tripels. Really nice ale.

Wow. It is a quad with much of the normal characteristics of a tripel. Pours a murky, peachy, yellowish brown. Aroma is of a sweet tripel: apple, caramel, toffee, sugar, and alcohol. Flavor is apple, caramel, sugar, and an alcohol burn. Sweet, lingering finish. It is like a sugary De Dolle Dulle Teve.

Bottle. Dark bronze with a small head. Aromas are aniseed with spices. Sweet and herbal with dark treacle malts. Flavours are earthy with sweet medicinal notes. Yeasty with liquorice. Hoppy on the finish. Very good.

Aroma of raisin, fig, brown sugar, and caramel. Dark garnet pour with a decent one inch off-white head. Begins with an alcohol kick, then opens itself up to the other flavors; dark fruit, spice, belgian yeast, and molasses. A bit sugary (once past the alcohol burn) and not quite as complex or flavorful as the best-in-style.

11.2 oz. bottle poured into an official urthel tulip glass has a lightly orange amber color with a nice thick two finger head that laced the glass nicely. aroma has sweet malts, spiced Belgian yeast, light alcohol, and a bouquet of fruits. moth feel is medium thick with sturdy carbonation. flavor has a nice dose of sweetened malt layered with spices, Belgian yeast, and hefty fruit. a very inviting flavor. on the sweeter side but it works nicely to balance the spices.

Pours dark brown. with a hint of burgundy, carrying notes of fruit and spice. A wonderfully balanced brew with both bitternees and maltiness, in a perfectly suspended carbonated emulsion.

33cl bottle. Slightly hazy light brown with a medium head that leaves lasting lace and foam. Fruity, caramel, candi sugar aroma. Sweet, quite fruity in a bright and slightly tart way. A little brown sugar in the malt department. Med-full bodied and smooth carbonation. A bit of alcohol is mostly hidden by the massive sweetness. Pleasurable, but not a top quad by any means. Surprisingly smooth and drinkable for the amount of alcohol it packs though.
