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.

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!

33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass.

App.: Deep red-copped, clear, large off-white head. Aroma: Big, crunchy malts, plenty of dried fruit, light minty herbals, sort of an odd vegetal woodiness, brown sugar and molasses; lightly nutty, a touch floral, touches of esters. Palate: Full-ish body, syrupy, soft effervescence. Flav.: Huge deep maltiness, brown sugar and molasses, lots of dark dried fruits, woody and slightly alcoholic (only slightly??); some cherries; quite sweet, but it works with the bitterness and slight tang; a fair bit of alcohol on swallowing; leaves light peach/apricot and vanilla behind.

The runt of the Trappist litter, this beer is nonetheless gigantic.

Nose of fruits and apricots. Pours a deep copper colour. A foaming head endures. The taste if raisins and plums. Body is medium and the sweetness lingers to a mildly dry finish. A good beer.

Bottle. Pours creamy / thick head. Aroma is raisin / plums / caramel. Taste is rather sweet / fruit / raisin / caramel. Finish is slightly dry / doughy. Nice example of a quad.

Chestnut with a great head. Raisins, plums, candy sugars, figs apples, caramel, and quiet coffee characterize this brew in both smell and taste. There is a peppery warmth from the alcohol, and this quad has a great structure and depth.
