Nose is massive with dark fruits, caramel, booze, yeast, Flavor highlights dark fruits (prunes and figs), caramel malts, and booze. Medium bodied, fairly noticeable booze, thin finish.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Slightly unclear dark dark, light brown head. Aroma is mostly a lot of overripe and dried fruits (raisins, plums. figs). Taste is slightly alcoholic, a lot of overripe and dried fruits again. Portlike. Like a good quadrupel! Good full body and perfect carbonation.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Exploded from the bottle. Was initially very lively but this quickly dissapated. Nice deep red colour although a bit hazy and with residue at the bottom. Aroma was a bit red-wine or port-like. Taste was fruity and toffee and a bit of malt. Too sweet & portey for me.

Beautiful deep red/amber color, with fine but no persistent head, aroma is sweet, with caramel malt notes, the taste is sweet with soft roasted and light coffee notes in final, full and heavy body with true carbonation, good digestive beer
