Commercial Description:
The strongest of the special beers. Its flavor is full, mild and pleasantly bitter. Quadrupel is presently available in the autumn, is bottled by the year and is perfect company for those long winter evenings.

Has a very prominent head. Aroma consists of mainly alcohol. Very strong alcohol taste that has quite a kick to it. Don’t take large sips of this one. However it is an excellent quadrupel.

Ah, reminds me of the old days. On tap, pours a clear, dark ruby color with a small, off white head. Very sweet aroma, light fruits, cherries, apples. Sitcky-sweet body, warming with a nutty caramel finish. Tasty.

Tawny amber color with deep orange hues. Stable, creamy off white head. Rich fruity aroma reminiscent of alcoholic figs, pear, cherries and fresh clove or rather coriander spiciness. Sweet molasses, plums, williams pear, cherries in the flavor. Spicey sherry like finish. Medium to full bodied. Active carbonation, not to dense, but syrupy texture.

Bottle, cellar temperature, about 7 months old. This beer is red brown in a trappist goblet with a beautifully frothy cream coloured head. The aroma is floral with plenty of raisin and some dark cherries; there is some distant breadiness, alcohol. It’s medium bodied with reasonable carbonation. I taste grape, caramel, apple up front with some cherry leading to sweetness, some berries and plenty of raisin.

...500ml cask, but drank it straight. Great nose of dark fruits, yeast, and slight alcohol notes, as expected for a 10 ABV beer, but it was hidden well. Still had lots of fruit flavor, with decent carbonation. Heavy bodied, with lots of malt, and candy sugar to mask the alcohol. Finished acidic, and slightly bitter. Pertty well balanced for a quad, and it was expensive, but hey, it tastes good and gets you Wanged, so it’s good. Worth trying.

Pours a cloudy ruby color with a good amount of off whitehead. Aroma has malty, hints of citrus, belgian yeasts and spices, and bit of alcohol smell. Flavor is sweet in the beginning, turning slightly acid near the end. A bit of carbonation with tiny bubbles tingle giving this a nice mouthfeel. Decent quad, a little harsh but I still enjoyed this one.

Sweet aroma with a nice balanced flavor. Slight apple and grape flavor. A little bitterness that disipates quickly after the great sweet malt flavor. Very nice beer.

Light brown with a thick tan head. Smells like rasins, grapes, and malt all blend together perfectly.Taste is very powerful with a wonderful alcohol twang. Not lost in all of that is a great malt sweetness, apples, and cherry.Well balanced carbonation and a high ABV make this a great beer.
