Aug 29, 2008 Nothing negative to report about this beer at all. I mean, this is a very nice interpretation of the quadrupel style. Sweet brown sugar, dark fruits, licorice, and whiskey flavors are apparent, amongst others. No perceptible creaminess however, unlike Bernardus 12 and Rochefort 10, making it different though not inferior. Large and long alcohol burn, more than to be expected for under 10%; a treat for us who enjoy the sensation. Overall, between great and excellent. Thanks Ommegang

Aug 29, 2008 Deep crimson with hints of brown toward the center of the glass. Solid 1/2 inch eggshell head...foam night as tightly packed as others. Aroma of Belgian yeast, brown sugar, spice, and cherry. Medium mouthfeel...drinkable and not filling. Flavors of tart cherry skin, ripe sweet dark fruit, and caramel would make me return to this one again.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle from Bev Mo, San Francisco, July 2008. What a wonderful beer, blended if I’m not mistaken. This has an aroma of cherries and dark fruit. The flavour starts with that dark cherry and moves to chocolate, dark sugar, plum.

Aug 28, 2008 2008 Version. 330 mL bottle. Fairly clear amber pour with a large, fizzly, cream colored head that goes down after a few seconds. Looking closely you can see the added yeast that dissipates and turns the glass slightly cloudy. First taste is spicy- almost a sting from the near 10% abv. The aroma is likewise nutmeg, cloves, etc. There are many fruit flavors in the mix besides cherries once you get to drinking. Reminds me a lot of Aventinus.
