4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Pours a deep auburn with good foamy head. Smells of bready malt, yeast and booze. Is a sticky beer, probably from the use of Belgian candied sugars. Exquisite ale with properties similar to port; a good after-dinner quaff. Tastes of prune, black cherry, tart, sticky sweetness, boozy yeast and an obvious inclusion of big aforementioned bready malt. A well balanced beer. I liked the original version better than the oak aged Quad that La Trappe offers for almost 2x the price! Always seem to come back to this one. One of my favorites.

Poured from a bottle into a trappist glass, it is a nice reddish brown in color, nice velvety head, the aroma is very nice fruity with possible fig, raisin, caramel, feels very smooth feel of the carbonation. Nice warmth of alcohol it really is a pleasure to drink. A really wonderful beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours light brown with large bubble head. Flavors of bananas, vanilla, bread, ginger with healthy alcohol warmth on the back end. Good, but not my favorite Trappist.

Bottle, rated from backlog. Dark amber with orange-beige head. Aroma and taste: dark fruit, malt, caramel with light hops in finish. Really nice quad
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Some sediment present inside of a red amber colour. Muted aroma but there is some belgian esters, bannana peel and malts. Boozy beer with a yeasty and banana flavour profile but I find this one this, especially for the style.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a copper beer with a not very long lasting white head. Smells pretty good. Sweet tones. Taste starts a bit to sweet for me but changes into something better. Don’t like the texture and the carbo.

Pours dark copper, brown colour with off white head. Aroma has some sweetness in it, caramel, dar fruits. Taste is the same, taste of bread also. Medium carbonation, well balanced.

Trinity Hall - Not bad. Definitely something you take your time with. Very strong. Not for amateurs.

750ml bottle. Dark amber pour with lots of suspended particles. A lot of yeast esters and deep sweet maltiness. The palate has lots of stewed fruit and the yeast still plays a big part in the flavour profile. Finishes slightly warm.
