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.

Bottle - 330ml. Superb hazy amber body with low carbonation and an average off0-white creamy head. Nice malty/hoppy aroma with brown sugar, caramel, and fruity hints. Alcohol is very well hidden. Well balanced and complex taste that carries fruity (plum, cherrues), spicy, and yeasty notes. Ends with a very enjoyable warming finish. Wonderful winter warmer!

Bottle at St.Veronus. This is one hell of a beer, and easily goes with my top favourites. The aroma was pleasing, and involving with honey, molasses and a blend of sweet spices. The flavour tasted like a blend between Rochefort 10 and Kasteel. The brew was sweet, but did not take away from its integrity. Absolutely fantastic! A must have.

Brown with a low head. Sweet aroma and flavour of peach, plume, kiwi and banana, but the alcohol is overwhelming and there is too much yeast to really cut it for me.

Bottle from Bev4Less. Super dark amber in color upon pouring. Aroma is slightly sweet with a big banana and spiced cloves. Rich malty dark fruits as well. Sweet dark fruit up front. Some yeast and spices. Some roasted maltiness. A hint of bitterness in the finish. Good sipper. Well hidden alcohol.

One of my favorite Belgians,and i can’t believe i haven’t rated it yet. Aroma is a fragrant red berry and and vanilla fruit malt,smells like your walking through the fruit section of the farmers market. that alcohol is sneaking out there. Taste is like cherry sucker with more of that vanilla malt ,and a smooth alcohol and slightly sweet finish. Taste is a little bitter in finish,so you can;t sip it to fast,which is just the way the monks wanted it. An absolute treat

Credevo peggio: molto anonima ma buonina. Peccato che la prenotazione di sto albergo a Parigi mi stia facendo diventare pazzo.

Nice color. Pours a dirty copper with a medium full head which dissipates quickly. Definite sharp alcohol nose, but sweet... like an aperitif. Not as fruity (apple/pear) as the others in the line, but very floral and pleasant (minus that initial alcohol). I like it, but there are others which are better. had floaty bits of yeast (even is carefully handled and stored upright). Decided to go with a strong beer to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the repealing of Prohibition in the US. (Bottle Pour 4/7/2008)
