33 cl. bottle. Copper colored with a thick tan head. Has a Cotton candy sweet vanilla smell. Medium bodied with an airy mouthfeel. Taste is a strong ,sugary spice flavor. Finishes with a medium strong alcohol tang. Not a bad fire side belly warmer, though the alcohol taste is pretty harsh here. Jan 2005

[858-20071127] Tap @ Beer Bistro (Toronto, ON). Malty banana wheat aroma with some sweet booze. Clear, amber body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Grainy malt flavour has hints of caramel and banana and dates. Medium body is not obnoxiously boozy. Nice blended.

750ml brown bottle (labeled Konings Hoeven Quadrupel) from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours an amber red body thats translucent but slightly hazy with little head to speak of. Smells fruity - apple, grape, citrus. Tastes fruity - apple, grape, citrus - with a fair amount of pith and hints of malt. Some alcohol is noticeable, but not as bad as it could. Surprisingly flat and aqueous in mouthfeel. Somewhat one dimensional. Tasty enough, but not as tasty as some of its Belgian cousins. Not that impressed with this one, I’m afraid... This may benefit from some aging, but for now, I’m just not feeling it...

On tap at Anam Cara (Monk’s Cell). Pours a cloudy reddish brown with minimal foamy head. Sweet yeasty aroma with dried fruit. Candy sugar and fruit hide the alcohol pretty well.

750 mL Bottle - A substantial amount of fruit in the aroma and flavor. Alcohol is very well hidden in this creamy sweet malty beer. Excellent

[Draught vintage 2005 at Ølbaren] Pours clear amber with tiny off white head. Aroma has overripe fruits, toffee. Flavour is sweet with spices, yeast and and the alcohol kicks in at the end. Vinous and pretty well balanced.

Soft and full bodied ale which consists of a very complex yeasty and malty picture with a caramel sweetness and an accurate ligh hoppy ending. This quadrupel has a warm depth and is very delicious!

Bottle as " Koningshoeven Quadrupel Trappist Ale". Pours a dark reddish color, with a thin quickly receeding off-white head. Aroma is that of any typical quad (meaning good) and the flavor was about the same. Was impressed that the alcohol was hidden quite well.
