| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jan 6, 2009 Bomber at Jerry’s. Dark brown with faint, beige head / Big, sweet, malt and raisin nose / Medium to full body, sweet and malty, with low carbonation, no discernable hops, and good but hot finish / Flavors of raisins, figs, milk chocolate, and caramel / Seems like a mistake was made on this one - while there are some solid building blocks, no carbonation and no hops make this very flat and cloying. msante79 (814), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 4, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours murky reddish brown with light brown head. Aroma is of chocolate, malt, dark fruits, brow sugar and booze. Flavor is chocolate, malt, brown sugar, dark fruits, yeast and a little booze. Mouthfeel is a tan thin. Finishes sweet and a bit dry. My first Lost Abbey beer and my first quad. Will have try the St. Bernardus and Rochefort 10 to see how this one stacks up to the style. Pretty decent brew though. ilovedarkbeer (1333), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 3, 2009 Pours an opaque and very still looking black brown color with a small to medium sized tope head. Nose is teriyaki, licorice, booze, raisins, and caramel plus belgian candi sugar. Mouthfeel is decent and the taste is green raisins, more licorice, spice, yeasty, grain alcohol, and prunes. Not bad but lacking. madsberg (4956), Søborg, Denmark
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 1, 2009 Bottled. Murky reddish brown coloured. Medium sized dense light brown head. Aroma of prunes, chocolate, raisins and alcohol. Flavour as well full of ripe fruits like raisins and prunes. Has a spicy and sweet touch and is very heavy on the alcohol. Medium to full bodied. Quite dry. Ends on a roasty quite sweet and fruity note. Very warming on the palate. The alcohol is almost too much for me in this beer, but still a very decent beer.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 1, 2009 Bottle that came via Beermerchants/Cave Direct cheers Phil L. Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Taste initially reminded me of a sensible strength version of DFH Raison D’ Extra. Raisins came through straight away carried forth on a sticky and heavy dark sugary blanket. Good spiciness, really warming with tons of dark fruits. An enjoyable beer but at times a bit too sweet and sticky for me. A7 A4 F7 P3 OV15 3.6 KimJohansen (6916), Copenhagen V, Denmark

Sweet aroma with plenty of roasted malt, chocolate an ripe fruits. Flavour was sweet with warming alcohol, chocolate, roasted malt, spices and ripe fruits. Finished sweet with a mild alco burn.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 26, 2008 Updated: Mar 14, 2009Poured a cloudy brown. Aroma of sweet malt and raisins , dates etc. Tasted pretty much the same with a bit of vanilla and alcohol heat.
No chocolate which for me is a must in a quad. I like big beers but this took over an hour to finish and was a chore. Seemed like at least 15%.The heat faded as it hit room temp and turned to a slightly dusty finish. Not even close to a St. Bernardus. Meh.
