Bottle: After the double this is one is slightly behind, a bit too strong offsetting other flavors. Finish is a bit rotten.

Thanks to ghawener. Drank it at pollo’s house. Pours amber/golden, with a lot of carbonation. Medium bodied, some acidity and sweetness. Alcohol present with a warming ending.

BritAlesRule (167) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - MAY 9, 2008
UPDATED: DEC 27, 2011 Most surprising beer at Trappist tasting 5/8/08 Colorado Springs. Nice golden appearance but the thing that got me right off was the nose. This is definitely the malt brother of the Quad, which I love. Fruit and light toffee, banana, rum, and sugar cookies. Taste is very close, though reduced some. Finish is bitterish which is nice for a beer this loaded with flavor. The Westmalle has better balance and subtlety, but I think I may choose this in a pinch over that classic and not have too many regrets.

Todeon (325) - SWEDEN - MAY 7, 2008
UPDATED: SEP 22, 2008 Bottle. Color is amber with a huge white head. Aroma is fruity and sweet with notes of banana and citrus. Moutfeel is really sweet with a fruity and sweet flavor and a warm aftertaste.

thomat (1100) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAY 5, 2008
Amber color with a creamy, white head. Hoppy and spicy nose. Bitter, spicy with malt taste. High carbonation and a full body. Balanced, bittersweet finish.

janir (215) - Oulu, FINLAND - MAY 3, 2008
Color is hazy copper-orange. White head is thick and lacy. Aroma is fruity and spicy with banana and alcohol. Sweet flavor is much fruity, spicy and yeasty. Maybe a bit wheat malty also. Aftertaste is quite dry, fruity and long-lasting. Medium-bodied, very smoothly carbonated and foamy palate. Alcohol can be felt but hardly tasted.
