Poured dark brown color with a medium white head to it. Has a bit of fruity smell to it. Has a fruity flavor to it with a boozy finish to it. Needs to have a little more body to it for the abv it has. Maybe it just needs to age a little bit. Thought this would be better

Dark amber colour, i tasted many trapisstes so i can judge thismuch better. Quite medium head. Nice caramel, honey, sweet malt. Very well balanced malts and hops. Bittery finish mix with sweetness. Such an amazing beer.

Bottle in São Paulo - Very strong beer... however... this not affect the good taste of honey and fruits (malty beer indeed)... it is not as complex as other Quadrupel’s, however, it is a good and decent beer.

Once I cracked this one, it filled the room with the scent of fresh apricots. Darkened amber. Apricots dominated the flavours with notes of honey. Thick in body in addition to lots of sediment. Mildly sweet, not too bitter.

Amber in color with a medium head. Aroma is strong and sweet with a lot of malt. The taste is rich and sweet with an ok balance between malt and sweetness.

Aroma is bready and sweet malt. Sweet flavor with no appealing notes. Became a challenge to finish it.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.2oz bottle into a goblet. Appearance: The body has a dark crimson amber color with bright ruby highlights and good clarity. It forms a small light tan head on top that fades out fast leaving little to no lacing. Smell: Its nose has some fruity, raisin like estery notes with some honey like sweetness and dark sugary notes. Taste/Mouth: The flavor starts on a somewhat thin on a medium body with sweet candy and a honey malt base with simple mild fruity notes. Raisin is the stand out. The presence of alcohol is very mild and adds some brandy like complexity to the finish. Hop flavor and bitterness are not noticeable. The texture is slick and thinner than I would expect for a Quad. The carbonation is light and somewhat fizzy. Notes: I was really under-whelmed by this beer. It tasted fine but it lacked the complexity and body of other Quadruples I have tried.
