Not overly excited about this one.

Bottle sample. Clear deep mahogany color, with red hues and a small dark beige head. Aromas of olives, yeast, honey and caramel. Sweet caramel flavor, some soy, low bitterness and faint tartness. Heavy, alcoholic, and not very good.

Aroma is grain, licorice, roasted, honey, nuts, light herbal and dusty, brown sugar, earthy coffee, light phenolic burnt plastic notes. Taste is medium+ sweet and medium bitter. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft+ carbonation. Medium bitter and warming finish.

On tap at La Trappe. Very mild nose, plum and roasted malt. Sweet with a subtle richness. A hint of fruity red wine. Dark coppery amber clear with thin off-white lacing head. Medium-heavy body with medium carbonation. Light warming. Starts sweet, alcoholic. Plum, rich malt, sugary - leans towards a Chimay Bleu but not overly complex compared to other quads. Sweet after with light alcohol warming and fruity after.

Flaska från Systembolagets webblansering. Mörk grumlig vätska. Kraftig arom av jästsvamp men också spår av mörkt socker, russin och choklad i doften. Alkoholen slårbigenom, tråkigt.

Reddish brown, minimal head. Aroma has some sweets, caramel. Full bodied taste, malty, some herbs and spices with a slight sour finish, or maybe it’s the alchol? Medium body. reasonable finish

Bottle@Home. Aroma of spices, balsamico and raisin. Deep brown, beige disappearing head, no lace. Very sweet, pear, candy, malty, raisin, pretty boozy. Sticky, almost oily. Unbalanced and alcoholic. Hard to finish the whole bottle.
