UPDATED: DEC 6, 2019 It was a struggle to purchase this beer, but the nice people at Total Wine in Ft. Worth held onto the last bottle they had until I could get there over the Thanksgiving weekend. I lift the cork and get absolutely no pop from it, not a good sign. But there does appear to be some carbonation working up from the bottom. The view is a chocolate brown body with just a touch of bubbles on the top. The nose is vinous and sweet, a little unexpected. I have a drink. It is a subdued sensation, an old bottle perhaps? The taste is decent, figs, caramel, lightly chocolate, some wheat bread. The basics are there, I am unsure if I am having a good sampling or not.

750 ml bottle with cork & cage seal. Poured with a hazy, dark mahogany body topped by a thin tan head that was surprisingly durable and capable of leaving sheets of lacing. This has a lightly sweet front end and a moderately bitter finish. Rich, complex flavor with hints of dried plums, dates, raisins, faint spices and dark bread. Full, smooth body with some alcohol heat.

Super dark brown; smallish but stubborn head of tannish foam. With lacing. Smells roasty, abundant aromas of caramel malt and dark pitted fruit, a wee bit of vanilla. Leather. Taste matches but the vanilla is more upfront. Alcohol hidden so well which goes well with the smooth as silk mouthfeel. Call me weird but I reckon this is superior to the Chimay Blue. such a nice drop.

Donkerbruin bier met mokkakleurige schuimkraag die snel wegebt. Aroma beetje azijnachtig met vleugje chocolade. Smaak is wel in orde. Beetje turf, hout, klein zuurtje, beetje zoetig (Chocolade, bruine suiker, caramel). Alcohol zit goed verborgen. Lekker, maar de blonde versie bevalt mij veel beter.

Faint malt smell. Taste is malt and a slight bit of booze. Light to medium body, medium carbonation, and slight foam.

Bomber thanks to Thanksgiving - nose is sweet vinegar. Sip ads dark fruit, plums, and belgian candy. Slight chocolate but not strong.

bottle @ Party Town / Florence KY --- Hazy dark brown, beige head that drops rapidly to a cover, bands of lace. Aroma of malt and prune, along with other dried fruit. Taste is syrupy caramel malt that warms with alcohol on the swallow, showing prunes and raisins in a medium finish with very little bittering. Fairly, heavy in the stomach, thick, not a good example of a Quad.

From a 75 cl bottle shared at home. Pors a hazy cola brown with an ecru head. Caramel aroma. Flavors of toffee. Smooth, sweet finih=sh.

Bottle found by accident in Delhaize in Lochristi. Pours dark brown with a medium beige head. Not so much carbonation... Caramel is overpowering, chocolate, malts, very sweet. Cloves, cinnamon.
