Jul 31, 2008 This is a great "quad." It has the distinctive "Ommegang" yeast smell; Brewery Moortgat has done a great job with this one. Spced caramel aroma with the Cherry note coming in. Reminds me of a chocolate ice cream with the marachino cherries aroma. Nutty maltiness with the slight Kriek tartness in the finish. Enjoyed in the corked 750ML bottle. A vortre’ sante!

Jul 31, 2008 Tasted during outage: This is another one of those OMG beers with great complexity. Aromas of cherries, bread, caramelized fruits of apricots, peaches, dark fruits. Pours a clear dark mahogany stain, almost enough to block the light. Flavor is just as complex as the aromas coming forth, swirling the glass evokes new delights, palate is creamy, oily and crisp with fine effers that tickle the tongue, overall, extraordinary beer.

Jul 30, 2008 I won’t go as far to say that this was a perfect beer, but it is so very close. The aroma is wonderful, but I am a cherry lover, so I am biased.The beer itself is cloudy, but not opaque. The flavor hints of cherry, but does not overwhelm, and is incredibly smooth, especially for the high ABV. Yummy, but pricey at 3.50 a bottle around here. I will get some more on my birthday.

Jul 29, 2008 12 oz bottle purchased from Cool Springs wine and spirits. Pours a clear mahogany color with a 2 finger tan colored head. The aroma consists of cherries and yeast. The flavor is mild alcohol up front and a tart cherry aftertaste.

Jul 28, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a caramelly red with a medium tan head. Aroma is a lot of dark fruit, cherries undoubtedly, and doughy yeast. Flavor is great. Caramelly and spicy, some warming alcohol, and subtle but very well done cherry flavor. Leaves a nice tartness on the edges of the tongue.
Trev (850), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA
Jul 28, 2008 Pours a ruby brown with a large tight tan head that fades slowly. Aroma is belgian malt, candy sugar, dark fruit tones with some cherry though it’s not predominant.
FLavour is sweet malt, tart fruit in the mid palate, a boozy alc. finish with some lingering cherry.
Not bad, though doesn’t hold a flame to the Bernardus 12 I had last night.
Meatmallet (120), Salem, Illinois, USA
Jul 27, 2008 Pours a reddish brown with a thick tan head with lots of lacing.Smells of plum and cherry. Also very sweet and malty. Hope it tastes as good as it smells.Heavy alcohol flavor to start. I can also detect the plum and cherry. A little bitter at the end but not bad. Not as sweet as I was expecting.Mouth feel was good. Carbonation was light and fairly smooth.

Jul 25, 2008 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX.
Pours a slight hazy, Dark Amber with nice beige head. Aroma of Alcohol spice, some clove, and classic belgiam yeast. Flavor is semi-sweet with a slight tang blended into a nice maltiness, some citris. Palate is full bodied with med-high carbonation. Over all this is a very good beer. Would enjoy with friends.
