Oct 4, 2007 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.

Oct 4, 2007 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.

Oct 2, 2007 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.

Sep 30, 2007 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. Vinous taste, almost doughy with a raisin backdrop. Somewhat dry mouth feel, perfectly carbonated. Good stuff

Sep 26, 2007 Bottle, lots of sweet dark fruits, Prune, raisin and cranberry. A bit of bread and citrus. Sweet, flavor, alcohol is very noticible, a bit of sourness, warming, yeast is not very dominate as in some quads. Plenty of rich dark fruit but not as much rich dark roast as others. Not a bad brew similar to drinking prune juice with some vodka in it. Quite a bit better than the dubble.
