Dec 31, 2007 Yummy. Very mild, almost no head. Reddish color. Smooth mouthfeel. Sweetness is seductively easy to drink. Candy, some light spice. Alcohol is nowhere to be found. Bitterness is secondhand and mellow. Overall, an extremely pleasurable beer to drink!

Dec 29, 2007 Pours murky orange in the glass with thin off white head. Mild dark fruit aroma. Flavor of light sweetness, that is not overpowering. Candy, dark fruits, and spices noted. Thought this was around 7-8% not 10%, alcohol hidden. Good beer.

Dec 22, 2007 We had it at a French bistro under the name Koningshoeven Quadrupel. Roasty, caramel flavor with a lighter body. The food I was eating took center stage (it was delicious) and overshadowed my experience with this beer. I’ll have to give it another try before adequately rating it.

Dec 21, 2007 A dangerously drinkable quad. Haven’t had one of these for a while. Aroma of dark fruit...plum and fig mostly. Pour was a nice murky burnt orange with a generous 3 finger tan head. Taste was great..again mostly fig and plum with a hint of malt. A little yeast character in there, but not overwhelming. The alcohol is hidden incredibly. Sometimes this style is either too alcoholic or too sweet. This balances everything perfectly.

Dec 19, 2007 Poured from a 750 bottle into a goblet. Murky brown with a thin whitish head. Pleasant aroma of yeast. fig, malt and fruit. Smooth with a slight carbonated mouthfeel. Luscious flavors with good complexity and depth. Caramel malt and sugar with ever so light hops. Very good quad on this cold winter night.

Dec 17, 2007 bouteille brune de 12.2oz.
à l’ouverture le bière déborda, elle a une belle couleur cuivrée-orangé légèrement trouble, la mousse est compacte épaisse et durable, le nez est tout en épices, très invitant et piquant. la bouche est chaleureuse ronde, piquante, épicé à souhait. une grande bière.

Dec 14, 2007 33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy and deep amber with a white lacing head. Wineous and mild fruity aroma. Creamy carbonated mouthfeel. Fruity, light wineous and heavy caramel malt flavour. Medium sweet. Towards the finish a distinct wineous flavour and alcohol presence provide some warmth. Finish is a complex lingering fruitiness.

Dec 11, 2007 1 pint, 9.4 oz. bottle with cork. Sweet, Belgian candi-sugar/yeast aroma. A hint of bret in the nose? Wasn’t aware that Koningshoeven was a Dutch brewer. Huge off-white head that lasts so long that you have to wait to drink the beer. Initial mouthfeel is carbonated, sweet and strong. Alcohol is somewhat subdued by 10% ABV beer standards. Flavor is a bit one-dimensional, and the alcohol asserts itself more by mid-glass. A pretty good beer, but not one I’d go out of my way to get again. Good thing it was a gift. My lowest rated Quad (of 8).
