Pours a deep amber with a little creamy head.Lots of things going on here with plenty to write home about as there were some ripe bananas and spices.Very sweet and rich on the tongue.Great long lasting flavors.

I didn’t like this beer. It didn’t taste like an Abbey Quadrupel. It tasted more like a Fullers Vintage Bitter. Not Belgian in style by a long shot. The bitter hops were way too bitter. Four times made them stand out and unbalance the whole beer.

Poured with a sweet vinuos nose with a slight burn. Flavor was a little syrupy malt, with a whiskey burn, and a full mouthfeel. This it a nice quad that should get even better with age.

Not a bad beer. Strong, but not overwhelming. Flavor really changed with temperature. Warmer is better.

This beer was decent, but not overly impressive. Nice orange color, drop dead headand decent flavor. I had expected much more from this beer.

All I have to say is, “how warm are you supposed to drink this?”. Everything changed in this beer depending on the temperature. Had this to celebrate our successful completion of a TS-automotive audit. Initially poured a murky light brown with yellowish hints and very minimal lacing. However, as it warmed, it became clear amber and ultimately had a light head that was quick to dissipate. The aroma was initially heavy and syrupy though as it warmed it lightened up. The aroma generally stayed the same with alcohol, honey, minerals. The flavor was bourbon, alcohol, fig, spices (i.e., coriander, pepper) and orange peal. Warm alcoholic body, semi-sticky (when cold) and generally coating. You NEED to drink this at a high red wine temp IMO. The flavors are similar but the body is creamier and the flavors much more balanced. I’m giving it extra points for amazing transformation from cool to red wine temp...

orange brown color. not much head which is disapppointing. delicious aroma. orange and a little alcohol. cherry cognac flavors and a little bready too. drinkability is poor; just too damn much alcohol flavor. 10% is not hidden well. my overall rating will be skewed higher than it deserves due to the nice nose.

Bottle. A brown tea color with a tan head. A strong fruit nose with apple, cider, and pears along with a pepper, cloves, candy, and Belgian spices. Sparkling and fizzy on the palate, it starts sweet and spicey and finishes dry. Dark fruit and apple flavors throughout with a sharp peper and spiced flavor.
