Bought a bottle at this sympathetic brewery. They told me that this is a Quadrupel-style beer. I didn’t quite know what to expect but it was pretty good. Very nice darkbrown appearance, lasting and creamy head. Dark fruits are well represented in this brew. This certainly had character. And quality. Strong mouthfeel, bit alcoholic palate. Didn’t bother me at all. Excellent brew!

Pretty sweet tasting ale. Malty and yeasty. Did not produce a head at all. Was a bit disappointed.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2003 Dark brown, lasting head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Sweet taste with bitter and alcoholic finish.

UPDATED: JAN 12, 2009 Beautifull appearance; Dark brown coloured, thick creamy head. Sweet, malty aroma, some spices. Taste is sweet too, spices and malts, bit earthy perhaps. Palate is a little alcoholic.
Original a 3.4. But it isn’t that good.

Dark brown/black color, with a thick creamy head. Aroma is full and sweet chocolate malty, but not very complex. Sweet taste, chocolate malty. Bit dry and sharp alcoholic palate.
