Apr 23, 2007 Updated: Apr 27, 2007750 ml bottle. Medium-sized, dense and creamy tan head. Pours very unclear, almost myddy brown. Fizzy carbonation. Sweet malty and yeasty nose. Notes of dried dark fruits and spices. Taste is fruity-sweet; plums, dark berries and raisins. Distinct sweetish malts and yeast flavors as well. Low hop level. Medium to full body. Warming alcohol, sweetness and mild spices in the finish. A powerful quadrupel, but not top end. This bottle was cellared for nearly a year, and will surely take benefit of longer aging.

Apr 14, 2007 Updated: Mar 4, 2008Bottle (75 cl) from Systembolaget. Pours dark amber to brown, with a moderate beige head. Aroma is full of roasted malts with notes of toffee and burnt sugar, along with earthy yeast aromas, and a light touch of alcohol. Medium bodied and very smooth. A bit unbalanced flavour, too much sweetness and low bitterness.

Apr 12, 2007 Holy Crap this is great. Pours dark murky brown with an amber tint with a rich tan head that has moderate retention. The aroma has a good amount of caramel malt that is quite doughy and rich with some Belgium-style earthy yeastiness along with some toffee. Medium / full body that has richness and a fair amount of frothy soft carbonation. The flavor starts with bready toffee, thick earthiness, brown sugar and figs. The finish gets a bit sharper in comparison to the initial taste with some sharp spice. This continues to change and evolve throughout the bottle. Thumbs vigorously up for this fantastic example of a Belgium quad. This could be my favorite of the style. Truly amazing.

Apr 3, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Boboski: Poured a deep brown color ale with a huge foamy head with perfect retention. Aroma of cookie dough malt is just about perfect. Taste is also dominated by cookie dough malt with some nice sweet malt and a mild yeasty finish. Alcohol was well concealed with a nice full body. I thought this was somewhat reminiscent of Rochefort 10 but maybe a tad more light and not as complex but still very rewarding.
