Serve in Trappist glass

Bottle Pours an amber ruby color with a thin diminshed head. Aged 2 years. Still a strong nose of etoh and caramel malt. There are good fruit flavors to be tasted here as well and decent spicyness. I shared this bottle and the sample i got i really enjoyed.

Draught at Oliver Twist. Fluffy off white foam tha goes away fast. The aroma remindes me of caramellized orange peel. The caramell is also dominating the taste, but there is also almond paste. The body is big but the bitterness is low almost not present.

Shady orange color, whit ehead. Sweet, malty, citrus scent. Nice, malty, fruity taste. Smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness.

UPDATED: OCT 16, 2006 Pours sparkling amber with a yellow, creamy, decent head with some lasting ability and good lacing. Nose is bold and simple; Belgian fruity esters dominatewith notes like the description notes fitting, caramelized cherries, figs and sweet molasses. Flavor is definately Belgian and candi sweet with the flavor almost becoming too cloying but doesn’t. Notes of plums, toffee, molasses, spiciness (cloves and others, hard to define) and slight notes of banana. Finishes sweet and fairly short with the banana still lingering and candi sugar still present. Palate is medium to full, lively, and somewhat round and sticky. Alcohol is present but not ever overpowering. Certainly interesting and worth a try for all strong Belgian lovers. I wish this one wasn’ t so sweet, but it has some great qualities and is unique among strong Belgians.

Bottle at St-Bock.The color is a hazy amber with athin beige.The taste is sweet like grapes and malt.The aroma is very fruity. It has a nice bitter finish.

poured garnet red-brown, not much head. very sweet malty aroma. malt and fruit flavors with the right amount of alcohol. Very smooth for a pretty big beer. definately worth a try

Courtesy of Naka. Pours amber/red/orange with thin white head. Nose of brown sugar, caramel, raisin, cherry and fig. Taste is carame and brown sugar with raisin and dates, full mouth feel with nice alcohol flavor and bite. No hops of any sort. I like it. Good beer.

I have yet to be dissappointed by Avery. Their take on a Quad is sweet, but savory. Calming in its strength, it is not easily detected after the first sip. This beer makes me feel good after a bad day...kinda like confession.
