May 7, 2009 Bottle. A deep ruby red coloured quadrupel from Belgium. There is an aroma of fruit, nuts, chocolate, malt and lots lots more. A big thick head on this beauty. Sweet, fruity taste, bananas, plums and a hint of vanilla with nuts, almost creamy. This beer is better than any Westvleteren IMO. I can never tire of this magnificent Belgian luxury beer. FANTASTIC!

May 6, 2009 Very solid brown appearance with a frothy head that settles quickly. The carbonation is damn near perfect, & the flavor is so very well balanced all the way through. Smooth, & almost creamy. Spicy, but not overly so. Even the aftertaste is pleasant. One of my favs for sure.

May 6, 2009 Pours a bronze color similar to a dark apple cider. Forms a 3/4 head cream in color. Smells of yeast and vinegar. First taste is a blast of harsh alcohol. The alochol flavor is a bit too overpowering in this beer and makes it harder to taste the more subtle flavors.

This beer pours similar to rusty tap water. the pour is hideous. In the glass it looks like murky pond water. truly the ugliest beer I have seen. It looks like Eric Stoltz in the Mask.
It smells like fresh apples , bark, and maybe a little bit of wild yeast.
Taste is outstanding. complex, malty, but not too sweet, yeasty, but not overly chalky, spicey, but not overpowering. This beer is truly one of the best Abbey Ale’s i’ve had.
Its a little thin on the pallet, but its nice because it washes smooth and leaves you ready to drink another delicious sip.

May 4, 2009 Bottle. Thanks to ilovedarkbeer, who gave this to me for my birthday. Pours a beautiful hazy ruby brown pour under a nice beige foamy head. Aroma of cherries, raisins, plums, oak, sourness. Excellent aroma! I could spend a lot of time smelling this beer. Flavor was caramel, raisins, prunes, almost a smokiness. Alcohol was a nice finish. Creamy and bubbly mouthfeel.Beer was fresh, will definitely age well.
