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.

the aroma was of hazelnuts and a tiny bit of pickles. a dark amber colour with a thin but lasting head. the flavour is of nuts a really good malty sweetness. is a little too biting from acidity and slightly from alcohol, but may be correct for the style. it has a nice creamy belgian feel too. i am verryyy impressed with this beer and am going to pick up a bunch more for special occasions

Bottle. Pours a dark brown body with a white 2 finger head. Sweet and fruity with lots of esters, banana, raisin and apple. Lots of sugar and alcohol that drys out the tongue. good one.

Pours a deep dark brown with a thick white head that has good retention. The aroma is yeasty, with some standard dark fruits, with an odd note of apple and banana. The flavour is a pretty good reflection of the aroma, with some dark fruit malty sweetness up front, some warm alcohol notes in the middle mingle with some strange minty spice? a dry yeasty flavour lingers in the background all the way till the lightly bitter, slightly fruity sweet finish. A little too carbonated for the flavours to be allowed to really rest on the tongue at all, but still a damn tasty beer.

Deep copper with a small but lasting white head. Initial aroma of alcohol and banana, but later turns into sweet malt, a bit of yeast, peppermint, cinnamon, apples, caramel, and candy. Flavor is malty, fruity, spicy, and has a medium bitterness. Smooth texture, full body. Alcohol is well hidden until the finish, which is bitter and.. boozy, yet warming and pleasant.

Excellent, although I expected more. Curious but you have to drink it while standing to get a better taste.

750 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours clear amber with a small white head. ok that was the first pour, after that they come more hazy and with bigger heads but im just saying. the bottle conditioning is encouraging. aromas are sweet malt yeast belgian candy yummy greatness. the flavours are about equal but the fruit boozy elements are quite apparent yet completely appropriate. god damn this is a great beer. one of the best brews ive ever had and this wil crack my top 10 with some age. luckily i have several more bottles at my dispposal.
