Commercial Description:
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 is light in malt and hops but strong in yeast. This is no indication of what your about to taste. Appearance is a beautiful red/amber with a moderate short lasting, good lacing orange head. Flavor? Holy Shnikes! This is the epitome of a barley wine. Sweat, syrupy with a strong alcohol finish. You may need a pilsner or pale ale to chase this. Still, I like its spirt and I could dance to it.....I give it 80 percent.

330ml bottle (Kaisla, Helsinki) Sunset orange, thin head. Simple grainy and winey aroma. A good sipping beer - winey, not hugely malty, not hugely hoppy, fairly well-balanced. Didn’t give us much more than the dubbel, unfortunately.

Had this beer on 5/20/2007. Aroma is a bit sweet with faint hop tones and a whiff of alcohol. Color is a hazy brown with good carbonation and thin tight head. Taste is light, fruity and warming. Starting with a medium body it goes down smooth with an almost creamy feel, and a slightly sweet taste coming on. Finish comes out of this sweetness with a fruity yeast flavor and a very faint hop flavor. In the very end is an alcohol feel that leaves you warm. This is a great brew

amber with a thick off white slightly tan head. caramel, yeast, slightly fruity aroma. More rich in flavor than aroma with full malt and carbonated character up front transitioning to very slightly sweet fruity then quickly to a bitter caramel finish. quite alcoholic at times.

750 ml bottle labeled Koningshoeven: Pours a nice copper color with a cirrus-like tan head. Huge belgian yeast aroma with a bit of fruity sweetness and some banana notes. Lots of carbonation. Smooth!

Bottle. Pours a cloudy, bubbly orange-amber with a large long-lasting frothy off-white head. Aroma’s sweet and fruity with sweet malt, yeast and alcohol. Very nice flavour of sweet malt, lots of dark fruit, yeast, some caramel, candi sugar and a slightly boozy, lightly bitter finish. Medium to full bodied. I quite enjoyed this, very tasty and somewhat easy to drink for it’s 10%. A very good Quad!
