Aroma of light dark roast, pepper, faint baking chocolate. Flavor of light dark roast, pepper, nice alcohol spice. Mouth feel is medium-heavy body with medium-high carbonation. Overall, not bad, but I was expecting more from this brewer....needed a little more punch compared to other brews from them I have had. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 28, 2009 This beer pours a deep brown with a thin tan head leaving little to no lacing on the sides. The aromas are raisins, dates, caramel and dark fruits. On the palate it’s very sweet, light bodied for a quad with caramel, raisins and sweet candied sugar. This was a great representation of the style. You hardly taste the strength of this beer! Cheers! BeerChaser0078 (323), Melbourne, Australia
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 27, 2009 750ml Bottle. Pours very dark brown, almost black, with a light tan head that lasts well and leaves plenty of lacing. Nose has aromas of caramel, malt, spice, dark fruit and a hint of chocolate. Hops are noticeable in the aroma as well as the flavour, which also has toffee, sweet malt, dark fruit (raisins, dates), brown sugar, chocolate and a touch of spice. Alcohol is well hidden but makes its presence felt with a nice bit of warmth. Full bodied, medium to long finish and a very creamy, smooth mouthfeel round off this excellent interpretation of a belgian quad from Mikkeller. Rating #150 AndyReynolds (281), Wilder, Kentucky, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a rich brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is caramelized malts and dark fruits. Notes of candy sugar, caramel, a bit of bread, and a bit of alcohol. On the palate, it is nicely carbonated and more refreshing than I thought it would be. The flavor brings out a bit of fruity yeast. The finish is a bit dry, but it leaves a nice alcohol burn. I little strong, but still very good. fly (1331), austin, Tejas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 18, 2009 Started into this in a rather foul mood carried over from long work day and no dinner. Initial response reflected that, but quickly dissipated as the depth of the beer became present and the alcohol (which is not so detectable) worked its magic. It does a marvelous job in reaching the lofty goal of mirroring Westy, which is giving this praise indeed. carruthm (1125), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 15, 2009 On tap in Copenhagen. Dark brown color with a smallish head. Lightly sour aroma but a full roasted bitter malt flavor. Decent kick for its palate. Zinister (1199), Houston, Texas, USA
