judasbeer (229), Budapest, Hungary Feb 28, 2009 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. PaulHegedus (458), Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Feb 27, 2009 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. UnholyBrewing (448), Melbourne(Mulgrave), Australia Feb 26, 2009 ...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. tsetlock (66), Livonia, Michigan, USA Feb 24, 2009 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. v8powered (48), , Nevada, USA Feb 22, 2009 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. Meatmallet (120), Salem, Illinois, USA Feb 11, 2009 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.
MI2CA (1260), Noblesville, Indiana, USA Feb 10, 2009 750ml - cork says 26/07 Koningshoeven label - Appealing aroma is fruity with raisins and cherry. Slight spice with even a little chocolate sneaking in. Flavor is sweet cherry and raisin with a yeasty spice finish. Palate is syrupy and tangy. Hides alcohol well, but is warming. A pretty tasty brew, but not very complex. beerdad (74), Kansas, USA Feb 9, 2009 Bottled. Dark reddish brown with a cream colored head. Aroma of yeasts, malts, cherry and raisin. Flavors of malt, cherry and alcohol permeates. A very pleasing and well balanced quad. I will be buying more of this.
