Commercial Description:
Strong brown ale inspired by the beer brewed by Belgian Trappist monks. Very little bitterness, this beer has intense malty and sweet flavours, mixed with the taste of chocolate and caramel. It presents complex red fruit and spice flavours due to the type of yeast that is used during the brewing process. This beer is at its best only after it has aged for six months. The Rigor Mortis are complex beers designed and brewed with patience and care in the tradition of the great Belgian Abbey beers.

Rigor Mortis Abt is brewed only once a year, and is sold in April until stocks last.

Bottle. Pours a deep hazy ruby brown with a nice creamy tan head. Aroma is candi sugars, belgian yeasts, rasins, caramel, dark fruits and spices. Flavor is rasins, candi sugar, touch of booziness, fruits, belgian yeasts, caramel, spices. Not too sweet like a lot of quads out there. Good stuff.

Another solid brew by Dieu du Ciel...cola colored body produces a creamy eggshell head that never quite left and created sticky lacing. Aroma is brown sugar, toffee, caramel, and raisin. Flavor is honey, dark fruit, and molasses. Just a touch of alcohol. Medium mouthfeel. Solid.

On tap at DDC. Darkish amber with a beautiful rocky head. Nice looking beer. Sweet aroma of brown sugar, raisins/prunes, and a little alcohol. Flavour is maybe a little green; some aging would bring out more subtleties and reduce the alcohol. I’ll be testing that theory in about a year. Nice to have a solid Canadian-made quad, in any case.

Aroma is diaper, alcohol, sugar, and caramel. Taste is cola, sweet alcohol, sugar, and caramel. Kind of dull and lifeless. Meh.

Courtesy of SoLan. Pours murky amber with deep copper hues and assertive and lasting tan head. The aroma is dark rich fruity esters of prunes, plums and dark ripe cherries to go along with sweet malts and a touch of pepperiness. The taste is rich and sweet with loads of fruit esters going on like in the nose with red apples, prunes, plums and sugar drenched cranberries. It gets a bit peppery here and there too. It has a smooth mouth feel.

Very nice. Dark pour with little head. Excellent dark fruit and light fruit aromas coming off this one. It’s basically a malt bomb. Flavor is very full with more fruits and some chocolate coming out. Finish is excellent. Fruity and yeasty and just a bit boozy. Nice quad.

Bottle. Brown pour with white head that dissipates within a minute. Dark fruits, sweet dark malt, spices and slight alcohol warming. Nice beer flavor is not like a 10.5 percent beer.
