3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Medium brown hazy body with a tiny head consisting of a few big bubbles and a partially covering film. Fair lacing. The aroma is moderate, sweet and not very complex. Caramel, dark dried fruits, a bit sugary. Nuts in the back and a faint vinous touch. The taste is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter. The flavours are not that strong. Belgian yeast with some very faint unclean yeasty notes in the back, dark dried fruits, traces of caramel and a touch of spices. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. A nice beer, but quite dull compared to the La Trappe quad that I had yesterday. To be honest I didn’t guess that this was supposed to be a quad at all…
[33 cl bottle, 2012 edition, enjoyed 10 months before BB date, from Vinmonopolet Ullevål, Oslo]
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Systembolaget. 2012 version, best before 130127 (one year?). Hazy red/light brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is dark sugar, some dried fruit. Sweet with some fizzy carbonation, finish is boozy. Too one-dimensional.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light brown. Alcohol, yeast, malt and plum aroma. Sweet and bitter. Thick mouth feel. A tad too slick. Ok.

Smak och doft av humle, malt, belgisk jäst, torkad frukt, karamell och hö eller halm. Örtig beska.

33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet Storo. Pours hazy dark copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt yeast, dark fruits, caramel, spices and a hint of alcohol. Sweet with a nicely bitter finish. Weaker in flavour than expected, but still decent.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at Pikkulintu. Pours murky, hazy dark orange with a big silky smooth brownish head that vanishes pretty fast. Taste is smooth, little fruity, slightly bitter, nice notes of yeast. Hides the alcohol very well. Not as smooth as other trappist beers i have tasted tho. Also notes of grain and citrus. After tasting it a while gets bit watery.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Flaske fra polet: hadde ikke store forhåpninger til denne etter først å ha lest noen ratinger, og desverre viste dette seg å stemme. Et fint, tett skum forsvant fort. Aroma av hjemmelaget marsipan og litt epler. Smaken er rett og slett ufrisk, og det ble ikke bedre når temperaturen steg - da ble den en smule vammel og bitter. Lett kropp og munnfylde på tross av høyt vitamininnhold. Uinteressant ettersmak. Som quadrupel kan den på inggen måte måle seg mot klassikere som f.eks Straffe Hendrik. Et engangskjøp, punktum.
