16 oz draught
10.0% ABV
I tried this on draught on April 11, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a dark reddish brown with a thick, long lasting white head. The aroma was thick with yeast and some sweet caramel malt. The mouthfeel was thick, creamy, and mildly carbonated. The flavour was brown sugar sweet, with some yeasty hints. Not quite as sickly sweet as a Samichlaus of Hardy’s.

does not count  Jul 8, 2008 One of the finest beers produced in the Netherlands. Complex yet balanced flavors. Dark fruit and caramel flavors apparent immediately with a sweet malt and raisin tasting finish. Full bodied but not overly so. Aroma was average for a quadruple, if not a bit overpowering. Overall an excellent beer!

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle. An overall solid Quadruple ale. It’s dark amber/orange in color with a typical light brown foamy head. Smells of dark fruit, caramel, sweet malts, yeast, and alcohol. Flavor is sweet with milt bitterness. Very smooth and medium to full bodied. A very enjoyable brew.
