Beautiful in the glass. Enticing color. Nose is sweet orange peel, Belgian yeast. Soft spice and alcohol. Lots of caramel. Flavor has a robust but smooth spice to it. Sweet. More phenols come out in the finish. Really good overall.

Bottle pours amber with fizzy tan head that quickly dissipates. Caramel, citrus, herbs, clove, soy sauce, some alcohol. Moderate sweet, lightly bitter. Medium, lively body. Surprisingly good quad.

Mostly red gleaming gold; thick frost cream head. Aroma is dominated by booze, with the certain presence of aged yeast & malt. Too sweet for me. Flavor: there’s something here I like, but it’s getting crushed by booze & spent yeast - far past the floral and fruity aspects to be desired. Residual wet, sweet, mulched earth in the palate - more than I can handle. Better fresher? Shit... it’s a quad; I’d expected layers and nuances that were entirely absent.

0.75 l bottle, thanks hanniku Reddish amber color. Sweet raisiny dessert aroma with biscuits, bread, almonds, perfumed alcohol and restrained clovey-peppery spiciness. Sweet toffeish, raisiny, biscuity and warming taste with perfumed raspberryish alchol, almonds and cherry. Restrained peppery-clovey spiciness. Heavy body, soft palate, gets clearly better with sediment. Very complex, a great dessert beer.

Aroma: Plums and yeast at first then dark fruit.
Appearance: Hazy amber with a giant off white head.
Flavor: Fresh plums, candy sugar and finishing with dark fruit and alcohol.
Palate: Medium bodied with high carbonation.
Overall: Nice aroma and initial flavor, but the alcohol comes across as a bit harsh with the lighter body.

12 oz bottle from Wilbur’s into a Duvel tulip. Amber reddish appearance with a lasting off-white head and visible sediment/yeast. Dark fruits, earthy yeast, sweet caramel malts, sugar and spices hit the nose. Similar flavor, malty, fruity, sweet and boozy. Pretty full body with a smooth, pleasing feel and soft, lightly crisp carbonation. The finish is a little boozy and sweet. Pretty smooth and tasty.

750ml bottle, shared by DanielCoor. Mildly hazy darker red color. Fine particles in the body, Thin khaki head. Some loose dots of lace. Dark fruit aroma. Moderate, kind of stronger spice. Lightly spicy sweet taste. Light belgian candy sugar. For me, just an alright quad. A little too spicy, not enough body, and dark fruit malty flavors. Still an alright quad, though. Reminds me of St. Bernardus Abt 12 (which I also thought was just OK)
