Mar 9, 2008 Trappist glass. Aroma of toffee, raisins, cherry and yeast. Very complex flavor notes of chocolate, dried fruits, and bread. Has a noticeable vineous quality . An excellent beer.

Mar 8, 2008 Updated: Oct 2, 200812 oz. Clear, dark copper-brown with a creamy and lasting medium-sized head. Aroma is bananas, earthy-spiced clove, and cherry bubblegum. Flavor is at first clovey-bubblegum; then turning to apple-grape wine; and then to a dominating cherry-raisin bread and alcohol. Medium body is dryish and flares up with carbonation. Good beer, but none too complex; body problem and all-too-evident alcohol are a bit much to call this one remarkable.

Mar 8, 2008 The neck label indicated a 2007 bottling date, and the pouring instructions on the side of the label were helpful. It didn’t take much vigor to create a luxurious head as suggested there. The body was deep red and brown, and the head was quite stable and frothy. Quite a bit of lace formed each time the glass was tilted. The smell was floral sweet with a ton of dark fruit character showing through as well. The taste wavered between sweet and dry and finished spicy. The blended nature of the beer was apparent in a mellow smoothness that muted some of the edgier and earthier tones found typically in Quadrupels. The alcohol was more of a factor in the taste than I initially expected it to be, and the warmth was quite noticeable after each sip. This was a well built Quadrupel with a lot of good facets. None of the qualities was really best in class, but the sum was greater than the parts, as it was a nice cohesive whole.

Mar 6, 2008 2006 bottling. Garnet/red color with a rich, foamy head, nice lacing. Good smell of bready malts, spices, and pit fruits. Chewy mouthfeel. Good flavors of cherries, plums and caramel malts with some cellar funk. One of my favorites from Ommegang.

Mar 2, 2008 This beer is awesome. I had a very large 24 oz. bottle, and it poured a dark color with a very large and dark head. Aroma is somewhat tart and tastes of cherries. Palate is very smooth and fills your mouth. The taste can be overpowering and I would not recommend drinking the entire 24 oz. bottle by yourself but nevertheless a great drink to be enjoyed especially in the winter.
