Jan 12, 2009 So well Balanced! Monks can flat out brew beer. Alcohol is 100% hidden. Aroma is sweet nectar. Flavors of very nice soft spices and sweet light malt. Smooth deliciousness. Great beer.

Jan 12, 2009 Draft at TJ’s: Aroma of yeast, dark ripe fruits, light cherry, spices, and medicine. Poured copper/brown in color with a small, off-white head that greatly diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of medicine, yeast, light bubblegum, allspice, spices, malts, and wood. Medium body. Dry, mineral texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, medicine, and wood finish.

Jan 12, 2009 Served on tap at Volo in Toronto. Pours a deep ruby with a small head. Aroma is heavy with fig, raisin, dark sugar, sweet malt, and alcohol. Flavor is very nice- sticks with the sweet theme, and the alcohol provides for a beautiful warming finish. Solid palate; excellent quad.

Jan 11, 2009 Pours a deep burgundy with a dissipating white head. Aroma is of musty grapes, cherries, and of warming alcohol. Medium mouthfeel with a high level of carbonation. Taste is first of unripened fruit, followed by sweet malt and a dry, harsh bitter finish. Not one of my favorite quads but a worthy effort nonetheless.

Jan 9, 2009 2 bottles, amber red, really nice. I drank it together with a 2 years old vintage which wasn’t clear anymore, looked awful, though tasted a lot more caramelish and richer in general, which was pleasant (though i normally don’t like sweet beers).

Jan 7, 2009 Pours amber/red.
Strong aromas, initially banana, malt, bubblegum and ripe orange. Unfortunately a bit phenolic, and kind of like chlorine...
Flavours are a bit overpowered by alcohol. Some raisin, banana and chocolate. Too sweet, like brown sugar. Some malt, almost zero hops present.
A bit too sweet, but still nice.

Jan 5, 2009 Bouteille de 750 ml, dégusté dans un verre de westmalle. Couleur brune orangé cuivré brumeux. Elle possède peu de mousse et présente peu de carbonation.Odeur rafraichissante de banane, sucre candi, sirop d’érable,vanille,caramel et poire. Odeur légèrement poivré et d’anis étoilé. Longue en bouche et crémeuse, alcool présente à long terme et se termine avec un fini sec et invite à la récidive. Un goût de fruit sec, banane, poire, bonne amertume, sirop d’érable, date, raisin sec. la pomme a apparue au goût et olfactivement vers la fin en troisième nez.Une bonne bière mais encore jeune, je vais attendre quelques années pour en ouvrir une autre.
