Jan 4, 2009 all of these guys beers suck ass. they all smell exactly the same. hard candy sugar. nothing more. they taste pretty similar, but this was better than the dubble which was better than the tripple. both not good. nor this thing. the flavor was decent, sweet and balanced, but the aroma was annoying. whoever just gave it a 4.9 is on 7 drugs.

Jan 3, 2009 Updated: Jan 18, 2009Wow. The smell gets you first, like a marvelous bag of nuts and berries. The head is minimal, leaving some lasting lacing and a white ring around the glass. The beer it self has a beautiful taste- fruity and smoky. Maybe Apricot, a little nutmeg, apple. Not your typical malts and very little hop acidity. This and lite, smooth.

Dec 27, 2008 Bottle. Labled Konings Hoeven Trappist Quadrupel. Pours a beautiful and clear dark amber with a 1 finger tannish head. Aroma of caramels, malts and dark fruits. Nice bite on the palate and not overly sweet or fizzy. After taste doesnt linger too long. Even with a high abv the alcohol is surprisingly subdued. I like that! A really enjoyable Trappist quad. I will buy this again for sure.

Dec 20, 2008 Poured a deep amber body over a small tan head. Smell of rasins and dark fruit, candied surgar, quite sweet. Tasted of sweet dark fruits with sour hints, caramel, and light coffee. Very nice, slight bitter hop. Spices as well, coriander. Oily on the palate with a light fizz. Not quite as good as the trple but excellent.

Dec 20, 2008 33cl BBE 5/09. Dark ruby brown, small lacey beige head. Sweet pear nose, candi sugar, mild spices, alcohol, very generic Strong Belgian feel. Balanced flavor with pear, little aniseed spices, candi sugar malts, alcohol in the finish. Full bodied with silky carbonation. Its balanced and nice, but way too simple for a trappist this big. That pear just keeps bugging me.
